Here"s the Nissan IMQ, folks. Let"s break down that name. IM stands for Intelligent Mobility the umbrella title Nissan gives its future-thinking self-driving and electric propulsion ideas. And the Q? Well, which wildly popular car in the Nissan line-up starts its letter-jumble name with a Q? Yep. This isn"t The New Qashqai, but it gives a glimpse of the ideas that"ll appear in one. And, potentially, the next Juke, X-Trail, and beyond. Of course, it"s electric. Two motors deliver a total of 335bhp and 516lb ft to all four (giant) wheels, and that"s all jolly exciting, on paper. But really, the IMQ isn"t here to wow you with Tesla-baiting drag strip teleportation.. The powertrain isn"t the headline. This concept"s about the looks.
