The game has been changed, Seattle! Earlier this week at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, Nissan stunned attendees with their Nissan IMs concept. While everyone in the audience knew the concept would be shown off, they still werenâ€™t prepared for the enormity of what the innovative vehicle represents--it's like nothing else in our inventory. While weâ€™ve done a bang-up job of bringing the initial details and specifications to you thus far, today we wanted to focus solely on performance.

This is an electric vehicle that is dead serious when it comes to generating power. The IMs is comprised of dual electric motors and a quick-charging 115 kWh battery. All told, 483 HP (360 kW) and 590 lb.-ft. (800 Nm) of torque are created, ensuring that thereâ€™sÂ blow-your-hair-back performance to tap into despite the lack of gasoline. Also, a whopping 380-mile range is included.

The Nissan IMs concept also benefits from an all-wheel-drive system. This means that itâ€™s poised across a variety of road surfaces and conditions, even if there is inclement weather. Traction and cornering performance are assured; plus, the advanced air suspension can adapt on-the-fly to driving situations. Impressive!

One of the coolest features in Nissanâ€™s latest concept vehicle, the IMs, is its seamless, simple graphic user interface. It really is an excellent example of the automakerâ€™s quest for duality, boasting advanced commands and flexible upgrades, but with minimal controls and switches to operate the system.

The design of the graphic display is streamlined and logical and houses the vehicleâ€™s autonomous driving technology. However, when in manual mode, the interface also allows the user to experience the high level of performance provided by the IMs' all-wheel-drive electric powertrain.

According to Nissan, the large, thin instrument panel with four compact screens uses a horizontal information architecture to enhance the interior space of the IMs. The design has also been engineered to follow the natural movements of the eye for the most efficient operation. Situated in front of the driver is a layered instrument cluster that remains unobstructed by the retractable steering wheel. There are two levels of display â€“ the primary shows key information to the driver, while additional data is displayed in a secondary layer to minimize distractions.Â

The IMs also boasts another feature called the "interior sensing platform," which uses sensors and cameras to monitor the driver's condition by deciphering facial expressions and body posture. This feature works in both manual and autonomous driving modes and if it senses that the driver is incapacitated or unable to pilot the IMs, it will bring the vehicle to a stop.Â

With news of Nissanâ€™s IMs concept this week at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, our team at Kirkland Nissan wanted to delve deeper into the exterior looks of the vehicle, which is being categorized as an elevated sports sedan. And to be clear, this is not your granddadâ€™s sedan or your popsâ€™ sports car. The IMs follows an entirely new design language, boasting provocative proportions and unseen aerodynamics.

With sleek, sexy and seamless horizontal and vertical lines, the IMs forgoes a traditional sculpted body in favor of forward A-pillar and extended C-pillar locations, as well as a shape that creates a lower drag coefficient. Various body panels also appoint the concept to provide effective downforce and minimal lift at high speeds, including specially engineered fenders, a front spoiler, rocker panels and a full-length undertray. With a roofline inspired by the shape of the moon, the gold-colored anodized brushed aluminum roof rail accents mimic a ring of light that looks like an eclipse. Riding on aggressive 22-inch wheels and complemented by the IMs grille-less front fascia, the concept also features special headlights that are activated when the vehicle is in autonomous mode.Â

The IMs is truly unlike anything weâ€™ve ever seen before â€“ futuristic, yet simple; racy, yet pure. To learn more about the conceptâ€™s design language and how it relates to todayâ€™s Nissan vehicles, contact us in Seattle, Washington, to discuss.
