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.
