Today, Nissan showed a concept car as part of Nissan Futures, an event at the Global Headquarters Gallery in Yokohama, Japan that starts on February 4 and runs until March 1. Considering Nissan Futures is billed as an event that will showcase how the Japanese automaker is “shaping the future of sustainable mobility and innovative design,” you’d probably expect some sort of autonomous pod concept with a futuristic living room inside. But you would be wrong.
The concept in question is called Max-Out, and it’s way cooler than a self-driving jellybean. If it looks familiar, that’s because Nissan already revealed it in renderings it released over a year ago. This is his “physical debut”. Unfortunately, Nissan isn’t yet saying anything about range projections or potential performance. Aside from the fact that it’s electric, here’s everything the release says about the Max-Out:

Built on the fundamental concept of being one with the car, the Nissan Max-Out two-seater convertible is designed to provide a liberating sense of openness, while delivering an enhanced and dynamic driving experience. The Max-Out showcases Nissan’s innovation in developing a diverse range of advanced and extraordinary vehicles, with a clear vision of how they can benefit both individuals and society.
Those certainly are all words, and they I am technically combined to create multiple sentences. But besides making fun that it reads like Chat GPT wrote that part of the press release, this is also the kind of language automakers tend to use when a concept is an exercise in styling that could influence future vehicles. but it will probably never go into production .
Maybe we are wrong. We’d really like to be wrong here. Even with the modifications needed to make the Max-Out street legal and feasible to build, it would still be an attractive and distinctive car that we’d love to see on the road. And even better, it’s a convertible, which is rare these days. It might not be to everyone’s taste, but people who like it do truly I want.
Please eat our words, Nissan. Back to ole Jalopnik and do what we said you probably wouldn’t do. Maybe even offer it in some good colors other than white, gray and black to really stick with us. This would absolutely “benefit both individuals and society”. We promise.
