Nissan Nails
What's special about it?
Want to know what a ski goggle-wearing doorstop on wheels looks like? Witness the Nissan Nails concept vehicle. The pickup styling of the Nails concept features a unique construction formed by placing an A-shaped cabin frame on the low floor that runs from the cabin along the length of the bed. The vehicle layout, with the wheels and tires positioned at the four corners, achieves an exceptionally efficient use of space in the compact body.
Various body panels such as the hood, fenders and doors have been given a special coating to allow rough use without being concerned about scratches or dents. The front grille incorporates an, uhh, interesting design that seemingly allows a peek at the mechanicals over the tops of colored glasses. Another unique form is suggested by the integrated appearance of the tires and wheels, giving the impression of toy-like rubber-faced wheels.
Nissan says the Nails concept design allows large, heavy items, such as surfboards or off-road bikes, to be transported easily thanks to its flat bed and rear tailgate. There's also a tent-like midgate that can be opened or closed by hooks and fasteners.

Not all concept vehicles have to be relevant. The Nissan Nails is simply fun to look at. — Brent Romans
