Nissan unveiled the third installment in a series of wildly futuristic electric concepts designed for the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. Called Hyper Tourer, the design study takes the form of a boxy van equipped with swiveling front seats, autonomous driving technology, and LED floors.

The exterior design "conveys a sense of the comfort within," according to the brand. It's characterized by flat surfaces and contrasting sharp lines that come together to form a look best described as unusual. You'll love it or you'll hate it, but the odds of it leaving you indifferent are low. It has no grille, no door handles, and no door mirrors, and it features a thin LED strip that separates the body's two paint colors. In a way, it's a little bit retro: The spoiler integrated into the roof is vaguely reminiscent of the vans that meandered across Japan in the 1990s.
