Who knows this car?

One extra point for anybody who is able to tell me which cool gimmick this car has featured.

No - it´s not american at all.

Well observed - and it is RHD, too...

Datsun Sunny Sedan?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** January 27, 2013, 09:44:23 AM »

Yes, this prototype was derived from a Sunny - but it has a specific name.

And do not forget about the gimmick...

frederick59 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 27, 2013, 10:07:53 AM »

B210??

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** January 27, 2013, 10:12:41 AM »

That´s just the internal Datsun/Nissan code for the Sunny base car.

Did it talk to the driver (like an Allegro)?

This is the Nissan GR-2 Concept vehicle from 1977.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2013, 12:07:33 PM »

Indeed!

Do you know about the special gimmick?
That would be another potential point...

"Instead of padded bumpers, the GR-1 utilized a "soft" nose cone."

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** January 28, 2013, 12:22:53 PM »

Not this one - soft noses have been used quite often since the end of the 1960´s.

I´m thinking of a different feature.

Well, here's a crummy picture of the GR-2.
There was a Nissan GR-1 concept displayed during 1975, and that vehicle had significantly different styling. It's interesting to note the reversal of body design between the two cars. The 1977 GR-2 had front end styling that was much closer to the 1974-1976 Sunny/B210/Y130.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** January 28, 2013, 01:30:08 PM »

Yes, the GR-1 was far more inventive in its styling.

I completly agree that the GR-2 was a step back...

Was there an on-board computer?

richard fridd · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2013, 10:23:37 AM »

Transmission temperature sensor?

WayneB · « **Reply #22 on:** February 11, 2013, 01:13:59 PM »

As it was a safety car type concept, I am thinking radar assisted braking.

targhediferro · « **Reply #23 on:** February 11, 2013, 03:11:04 PM »

Had it an air-bag?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #24 on:** February 11, 2013, 04:48:41 PM »

No no no and no.
