What Is It?
Nissan Jikoo Concept
What's Special About It?
An interesting morphing of old and new, the Jikoo pays homage to the first Datsun Roadster that debut shortly after Nissan was founded. The Jikoo also reflects Tokyo's 400 years of industrial arts and crafts and was part of a government project celebrating the heritage of Edo, Tokyo's former name.
The Jikoo has a high nose and short rear deck just like the original Datsun Roaster but offers advanced technology inside. Because of the high hood line, there is a small storage area or "trunk" mounted in the top of the hood. The navigation system is noteworthy in that its concept is to have a monitor on the driver side showing a current map of the city while the monitor on the passenger side shows a map of Tokyo as it used to be.
Why Should You Care?
It's not often that a car so effectively incorporates both modern and traditional styling elements, besides; it just looks cool. — Brian Moody
