Although not exactly a new concept, the leaning car idea used by the Nissan Land Glider always looks kind of cool. In this case, the ultra-compact city car can lean up to 17 degrees, all of it calculated by on board computer to make you don't lean yourself right into the pavement.

Powered by an all-electric drivetrain, Nissan sees the Land Glider as fun-to-drive commuter car with an ultra-small footprint to make it easy to park. At just 122-inches long, the Land Glider is slightly bigger nose to tail than a Smart Fortwo.

Appears we're getting a little closer to an actual light cycle.

This makes more sense to me than a Smart ForTwo. It looks cooler, and I bet it drives better.

This looks kinda scary to me, not to drive but the actual movement of the car in pictures.

Nothing about that car would suggest sporting intentions. :-)
