The Nissan Hyper Force is a concept sports car that debuted at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. The vehicle embodies the "do what others don't do" spirit inherited from Nissan's founding. It is the last five cars in the Nissan Hyper series. According to Nissan's Program Design Director Giovanny Arroba, it is Nissan's "lucid dream" for the realization of the next-generation GT-R, and mass production is almost possible by 2030.

Specifications

The lightweight body using high-strength carbon is combined with a solid-state battery that achieves optimal weight balance and a high-output motor. In addition, thanks to the aerodynamic design that generates powerful downforce jointly developed with Nismo and the evolved "e-4ORCE", it achieves acceleration comparable to the world's fastest race cars, extremely excellent cornering performance, and outstanding maneuverability. The front canards, front fender flip, and both ends of the rear wing are equipped with unique active aero functions. In addition, a newly developed plasma actuator suppresses air separation. This maximizes grip while minimizing lift of the inner wheel when cornering. The suspension and stabilizer are the world's first system that allows easy adjustments on the screen even while driving. The rear double-layered diffuser is also a distinctive design, and is currently under patent application along with the plasma actuator, suspension and stabilizer introduced earlier. The lightweight and high-strength carbon wheels have a distinctive three-dimensional design that improves aerodynamics and brake cooling performance.

The biggest feature is the two drive modes. When switching drive modes, not only do the characteristics change, but the color and display content of the instrument panel also change, and the atmosphere of the interior also changes.

The Hyper Force is also a sports car that connects the real and virtual worlds, and is designed for enthusiastic racers and gamers. By wearing a special helmet that allows users to experience AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality), they can enjoy driving in both real and virtual worlds. By using the VR blind shield on the helmet while the car is stopped, the car can be used as a game simulator, which drivers can also hone driving skills while having fun in time attack and battle modes. Those who are actually driving on a circuit can enjoy driving while competing with digital "ghosts" of various drivers by using the AR skeleton shield.

Exterior

In terms of design, the essence of the GT-R is scattered everywhere, including the color scheme of the logo and the four-lamp round taillights, and when viewed from the side, the styling is similar to the "NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo" unveiled by Nissan in 2014. The low, wide stance of the car seamlessly blends smooth curves with the bold geometric patterns of the body panels. The aerodynamic structure divides the underside of the front bonnet into two sections, providing both strong downforce and high cooling performance. The instrument panel's graphical user interface (GUI) was designed by Polyphony Digital, just like the GT-R's. In addition, the driving scenes in the promotional video for the Japan Mobility Show 2023 were filmed on circuits included in Gran Turismo 7 (the Nürburgring and the Special Stage Route X). The side of the car is inscribed with "1000kW ADVANCED ASSB E-4ORCE" in a font reminiscent of the Skyline Super Silhouette's "4VALVE DOHC RS TURBO". Both refer to the powertrain technology.

Interior

The driver's and passenger's seats are equipped with lightweight, high-rigidity carbon bucket seats and four-point seat belts that optimally hold the occupants during sports driving and allow for comfortable long-distance driving.

The concept character is HIDE, a professional gamer. He is a regular in the world rankings for racing games and is skilled enough to break new records at the Tsukuba Circuit.
