Back in 2021, Nissan showcased several concept vehicles as part of its announcement to invest $17.6 billion in electric vehicle development.
One of the concepts presented was a two-seater sports car convertible called the Max-Out, but the automaker only released a render showing the car’s design. Now, the company has revealed a physical version of the Max-Out at the Nissan Futures event in Yokohama, and it appears that the automaker stayed true to its original design.
It’s still a two-seater convertible with headlights and side panels that light up in various neon colors. The EV’s design combines aesthetics from several different sci-fi franchises, including Tron and Avatar. However, aside from showcasing the design, Nissan didn’t provide any details about the EV concept, likely because the company doesn’t plan to mass-produce it anytime soon.
During the initial Max-Out presentation, Nissan pledged to develop 23 electrified vehicles and launch 15 new EVs by 2030. However, the company hasn’t committed to a full transition to electric vehicles, instead expressing its goal to blend EVs and gas-powered vehicles. One of the electric vehicles released by the company since the 2021 announcement is the Ariya, Nissan’s first electric crossover, with an estimated range of 216 to 304 miles, depending on the configuration.
