At the 62nd Frankfurt Motor Show, Nissan showcased its Mixim Concept Car: a compact vehicle for young drivers.

The driver sits centrally, with two seats behind, while the steering wheel and controls are inspired by computer gamers. The car is powered by Nissan's electric motor/generator that uses compact lithium-ion batteries.

Sitting on a 2530mm wheelbase, Mixim is 3700mm long, 1800mm wide and 1400mm high. Despite being a concept car with no guarantee of being turned into a series production model, Mixim's development is in line with the Nissan Green Program.

It produced for sale, it is expected to be priced in the range of $12,000 to $15,000.
