The 1425kg EV Sport 01 sits on a bespoke aluminium and carbonfibre platform and uses two liquid-cooled, high-performance electric motors with maximum speeds of 10,000rpm.
Nakamura retired as vice-president of Nissan in 2017, having worked in the Japanese firm’s design department since 1999 and overseen the designs for the Cube, Qashqai, Leaf and GT-R, to name but a few. He now heads up the independent outfit SN Design Platform. Using a blend of lightweight materials, its body panels and monocoque chassis are made from carbonfibre to keep weight down, while aluminium makes up much of the car’s frame.
“Having created our own series of advanced electric motors, the AIM EV Sport 01 is also the perfect way to showcase our expertise in advanced powertrain development."
