Nissan's futuristic electric concepts keep coming. The fourth installment in the series, which will make its public debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, is a crossover called Hyper Punk with a striking exterior design, wheels that light up, and an interior inspired by origami.

Like the previous concepts, the Hyper Punk was designed for a very specific target audience. Nissan expects it will appeal to "content creators, influencers, artists, and those who embrace style and innovation." It's certainly not for those who embrace keeping a low profile. It takes the form of a coupe with a generous amount of ground clearance and triangle-shaped panels that give the body a textured design.

Accessed via butterfly doors, the interior is just as distinctive as the exterior. The driver sits on a seat upholstered with red fabric and faces a rectangular steering wheel as well as three screens integrated into a single unit. Oddly, they display eyes in Nissan's press images. Origami-like trim surrounds the driver's seat. If you're riding shotgun, you get a gray seat and travel in a far more basic-looking environment.
