Nissan ESFlow

Also unveiled at the 2011 Geneva auto show was the Nissan ESFlow, an electric sports car. Although this electric sports car concept looks like a Z, it was built from the ground up for its electric power train. Lithium ion batteries are located over the front axle, while two electric motors drive the rear wheels, contributing to even weight balance. The headlights actually conceal charging points.




Nissan cites exciting performance figures for the ESFlow, such as 0 to 62 mph in under 5 seconds. Meanwhile, range is quoted at 150 miles. The two rear motors can vector torque across the rear wheels, making for better cornering.
Although Nissan hasn't announced plans to build a production version of the ESFlow, the electric powertrain developed for the Leaf opens up many possibilities.
