“Mazda KAAN” Futuristic Electric Car Concept to Compete The E1 Races


Electric fields and textures seen in the nature have given birth to Mazda Kaan designed by 6 innovative designers. This electric car is especially deigned to compete the E1 races. In order to reach 250 mph without any harmful emissions, Mazda Kaan uses a sub-level electro conductive polymer that powers the electric cars in a modern world. The design and look of the car is mind blowing. By sitting inside the car, one can feel that victory is for sure. So, let’s see how far this Mazda is going to take its future victory.
The MAZDA KAAN is an electric race car designed to compete in the E1 races, the pinnacle of international motorsports in terms of technology and popularity. In 2025, California freeways have been resurfaced with a sub-level electro-conductive polymer that powers the electric cars of the modern world. MAZDA’s patented electronic tire system uses this technology to power the KAAN to reach 250 mph with no harmful emissions!

The vehicles are piloted by individual drivers but teams are made up of thirty cars, all on the track together. Using strategies similar to those in cycling peletons, the tighter the group sticks together, the more aerodynamic and powerful it becomes.

Inspiration for the KAAN comes from electric fields and textures seen in nature, particularly those in a lightning bolt. The car is uniquely designed around its powerful electric wheels while the cockpit acts as a capsule to safely house the driver, allowing for tighter peloton formations and a team victory.

Nissan to unveil a new electric car in D.C. tonight

If you're in Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Penn Quarter, or Mount Vernon Square around 8:30 tonight, you may catch a glimpse of Nissan's upcoming still-unnamed electric car that's scheduled to go on sale next year.

Not in the metal -- to use the automotive expression for "in person." Nissan will instead be projecting images of the car that it's so far only teased onto the outside walls of some buildings in the neighborhood as the physical car is shown in Japan.

Nissan has in the past shown electric vehicle prototypes based on its existing models -- the Cube and Versa compact cars -- but this model will be electric-only. Few details of the car are available yet, but Nissan is projecting a range of 100 gas-free miles and family-car space.

Full details will be on Nissan's website for the car tomorrow, and some Washingtonians will see the new photos on their walls tonight.

Nissan will also conduct an electronic unveiling in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Oregon. According to a press release, Washington was included alongside the West Coast cities "because of its strides toward sustainability and interest in electric cars."

Water purification could be the key to more electric cars

Humanity is going to need a lot of lithium batteries if electric cars are going to take over, and that's a problem when there's only...
