NEW NIKE CONCEPT CAR

The Nike ONE design team was led by legendary car designer Phil Frank, who designed classics such as the Saleen S7 and the new Mustangs. While the shape of Nike One is taught and dynamic, the real genius lies beneath the skin.

The NIKE ONE’s designers wanted to make the car an extension of the future athlete, and as such, control inputs are made through the main muscles of the legs and arms, the Nike ONE requires peak physical perfection for maximum performance. The drivers sits in a laid-out-motorcycle rider position, their feet harnessed into pedal bike like clip-on foot pegs, and their hands are connected to the vehicles CPU via non-invasive bio-ports which allow for a direct man and machine neural interface. This enables the driver to fine tune the control inputs by the power of thought. This is a concept remember. The fictional ‘history’ of the Nike ONE’s development is a well thought out and thoroughly entertaining story. It begins in 2012 with Nike inventing a ‘Spark Suit’.

Drivers of the Nike ONE describe it as a cross between wearing a machine and being a machine. Control, acceleration and braking is achieved with the large muscle groups of the legs and arms, similar to working on gym training equipment vs. traditional wrist and ankle movements. The driver controls are centered around a gyroscopic cyber-throttle which integrates cornering, acceleration and braking in a single mental motion. The mind-machine interface uses one non-invasive bio-port at each hand to connect neurotransmitters in the brain to neuro-tranceivers in the vehicle CPU. All controls feature the latest generation Supersensortm components enabling micro-resolute command-calls for maximum efficiency in breaking, acceleration and cornering. Drivers say it helps them make tiny adjustments in speed and direction, and contributes to their overall feeling of connection, power and oneness.
