In contrast, the Kicks Urban Shadow concept is more focused on urban living and Nissan says it takes inspiration from tuner culture. The concept benefits from bespoke graphics, new 18-inch Nismo wheels, a revised coilover suspension and a Nismo exhaust system.

Just as the Kicks is the American alternative to the Juke, the Frontier is Nissan’s mid-size pickup, like the Navara which was phased out in the UK in 2022. The Frontier Tarmac concept is a “street truck “, says Nissan. , and is the result of a collaboration between Nissan Motorsports, Nissan Design America and Forsberg Racing.

The show car has orange paint and a special livery, as well as carbon fiber accents, a body kit, a vented hood, a roof opening, a rear spoiler, 20-inch wheels and adjustable coilovers. The concept is powered by a 3.8-liter V6, but it’s been supercharged, which, combined with a new cold-air intake and custom exhaust, results in an output of over 400 hp. To help control that power, there are performance tires and a larger braking system from the Z Nismo.

The Trailgater project is the final creation and it is based on the PRO-4X edition of the Frontier truck. It sports a custom lift kit and suspension setup, additional storage space in the rack, trunks, auxiliary off-road lighting, and 17-inch wheels. There are some camping touches too, with two 43-inch weatherproof TVs, electric refrigerators, a cooking grill, and even a kitchen sink.
