Nissan keeps on delivering the good things for its fans! Take this lovely car concept, for example. George Jetsons himself would have surely enjoyed one of those and this would have perfectly fitted the retro futuristic utopia.

As for the car, Nissan has nicely named it Pivo 2. The first Pivo has been really popular on gizmo sites like Gizmag and this one
should also be something hot.

To follow the green trend, adopted in most industries, Nissan made the vehicle 100% environmentally friendly. Sadly, we still have to wait for the car's debuts on the next Tokyo Motor Show.

To reveal some of the Pivo's technical specs, I should tell you it uses exclusively lithium-ion batteries. Besides that, it was packed with the latest technology for braking and steering. The really great and unusual things about it are the 360 degrees turning cabin and 90 degree turning wheels, which make the driver feel like riding in Cybertron.

To make it even spookier, the second generation Pivo was given a Robotic Agent to make the driver feel like a real Megatron. Not to mention the special bond that is created between the car and the driver. As mentioned before, the fact that it uses a fully rotating cabin design, makes Pivo 2 probably the most ergonomic and mobile car concept of all times.

In addition, Pivo features 4 wheels, which are carefully sustained by Nissan's electric in-wheel 3D motor. Not to mention it can turn to 90 degrees and, wow, it even allows Pivo 2 to drive sideways, not only forward. Therefore anyone would be able to perform a great parallel parking.

Regarding the Robotic Agent in the Pivo, the best thing is that you'll never fall asleep, as it will entertain you with a lot of conversations and a sexy voice. And do not worry! It's smarter than you think, supporting both Japanese and English and displaying a user-friendly interface.

If you want to see one of these babies with your own eyes, you should check Pivo 2 out, while it's being displayed at the Nissan Gallery in Tokyo! If not, check out Gizmag, for some extra info.
