Other than the Kawasaki J Three-Wheeler EV, Nissan’s prototype called the BladeGlider is also proving to be a sight to behold in this year’s Tokyo Motor Show.

This DeltaWing-inspired sports car is very narrow (1-meter to be exact) on the front and has a wide rear end. But don’t let its awkward design fool you, ‘cause Nissan claims that the two front wheels allow drivers to corner even at speeds of 190kph.

Swinging its pair of Butterfly doors open will reveal a three-seater layout ala McLaren F1 and a cockpit that comprises of a futuristic dashboard complete with an equally awesome steering wheel. It almost seem like you’re driving an alien spaceship instead of an electric-powered car.

According to Nissan, the BladeGlider in display is still an early prototype and the company hasn’t provided details as to when they plan to release it in the market.

The 43rd Tokyo Motor Show is now in full swing and one of the many head-turners in this year’s event in the motorcycle department is the Kawasaki J Three-Wheeler EV which looks like a homage to the Tron Light Cycle.

Kawasaki’s concept bike consists of three wheels, two on the front and a large one on the back. In “Comfort Mode”, the two wheels on the front are parted and the body is slightly elevated, resulting to an ATV-style trike.

On “Sports Mode”, however, the Kawasaki J Three-Wheeler EV transforms into a super cool sports bike by lowering the body and merging the two front wheels.

Sadly, Kawasaki has no plans of pushing their prototype to production. It’s merely being displayed to showcase the company’s new high-capacity NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery called GIGACELL.
