Shiro Nakamura, who has been in charge of global design for Nissan for a long time, made the Aim EV Sport 01 an exciting idea for a rear-drive car. The idea will be shown for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. The CEO of Aim will race it down the timed Hill course at the festival. Aim, a new race engineering company, has yet to make plans to build the car, but that could change. This sleek rear-drive electric coupe, the Aim EV Sport 01, is expected to make one of the most exciting starts at next week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. It has 483 horsepower and is said to weigh less than 3150 pounds. A Japanese racing engineering group made it, and only a small number of them will be made. Before discussing the details, can you tell me who the artist worked for? Let’s take a moment to look at the pictures before telling you the surprise. If you think of Nissan’s fast cars, you should be proud of yourself. The EV Sport 01 was designed by Shiro Nakamura, who was Nissan’s world head of styling from 1999 to 2017. During that time, he oversaw the creation of several projects, such as the Cube, Murano, Juke, and, perhaps most notably, in this case, the R35 generation of the GT-R sports car. One of Nakamura’s first designs, after he left Nissan in 2017 and started his own business, was the EV Sport 01. The car was initially made to show Aim’s building skills, but the company says it is now looking into whether or not it would be possible to make a small number of them. We are still determining where they’d be sold. Aim was started in 1998, and one of the things it has worked on before is a V-10 engine for endurance racing. One was used on the LMP1 Oreca 01, which came in fourth at the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours. Like many other companies, Aim is working toward an all-electric future, and the EV Sport 01 is meant to show what it can do. It has open doors to the front, a carbon fibre tub in the middle, and a metal frame. The EV Sport 01 is 153 inches long, shorter than a Mazda Miata, but despite its small size, it has four packs of batteries that add up to 81.0 kWh. It can do torque vectoring because each back tire has its engine. Even though no performance data is available, it should be mighty based on its strength and weight estimates. The CEO of Aim, Yukinori Suzuki, will show the promise of his company’s breakthrough product by driving it in a timed category on the 1.16-mile Hill route at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 13-16. We hope to be able to tell you about our production plan very soon.
