The Nissan Land Glider

The Nissan Land Glider

October 15, 2009  |  Levent OZLER

Nissan's Land Glider, a zero-emissions car that can lean into corners like a motorbike, will be one of the stars at this month's Tokyo motor show.

Nissan Land Glider can lean by up to 17 degrees - which Nissan says enables the car to turn sharply at nearly any speed.

But, it also has the ability to avoid crashes, using technology derived from studying the behaviour of fish.

The Land Glider uses sensors to calculate the level of lean required to negotiate a corner.
