Nissan built a sports car you drive lying down ... head-first
Radical design is powered by 'plazma energy core'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Everyone loves a low-slung sports car, but this one takes the cake.
Nissan has built a single-passenger concept car model that’s driven while lying down … head-first!
The design was originally a thesis submitted by Jaebum Choi, who is working as an intern at the company.

Needless to say, the GT-R(X) 2050 won’t be going into production anytime soon, and not just because it draws power for its electric motors from a "plazma energy core" that connects to the driver’s suit like a tail.
NIssan's next new sports car will be slightly less radical and more retro. The recently unveiled Z Proto previews the upcoming replacement for the 370Z and draws inspiration from the original 1970 240Z.
