Nissan has a new model, called the Bladeglider.

It was originally unveiled as a concept car, at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2013, but is now a fully working prototype.

This prototype is shaped like a triangle, with an 'arrowhead formation' layout, for the driver and two seats, behind, for passengers.

For Carlos Ghosn, president and chief executive at Nissan, this car showcases the future of the company.

"Nissan believes that enthusiasts should look forward to a zero emission future and BladeGlider is a perfect demonstration of that. It's the electric vehicle for car-lovers", he said.

Features include a torque vectoring system, which helps the driver navigate bends, different modes, such as 'off', 'agile' and a 'drift mode', and camera mounted behind the front wheels, rather than front mirrors.

It is powered by five-module 220kWh lithium-ion batteries, which gives it a top speed of 118mph, and the ability to go from standstill to 62mph, in less than five seconds.

This car is the result of a collaboration between Nissan and Williams Advanced Engineering, the consumer-facing department of the Williams F1 team, responsible for the Jaguar XC-75 prototypes for the James Bond Spectre film.

They are currently being used to shuttle VIPs, at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
