In the midst of all the debuts coming out of the Chicago Auto Show, Nissan has decided this would be a perfect opportunity to reveal the Esflow, a new electric concept that will make its world debut in March at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. However, this isn’t just any old electric car like the Leaf. No, this is an electric sports car that will carry the engine setup of Nissan’s other electric with a RWD setup and a more stylish exterior.
The new Esflow concept is powered by two electric motors that are charged by laminated lithium-ion batteries. Each motor is designated to its own rear wheel, taking the Esflow from 0 to 60mph in around 5 seconds with an autonomy of 240kms (150 miles) on one charge.
The concept is said to take its color inspiration from glaciers with its highly reflective solidified liquid with blue tints. The hood of the car is stretched to capacity for a longer and sleeker look while the steeply raked, wrap around windscreen adds a touch of finesse to the vehicle.
We can’t imagine seeing this concept hit the production line, but it will be interesting to see what Nissan can get out of something like this in the future.
Hit the jump to read more about the 2011 Nissan Esflow electric concept.
