Who knows this car?

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

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

And do not forget about the gimmick...

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

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

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."

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.

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?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

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