By contrast, the Kicks Urban Shadow concept is focused more on urban life, and Nissan says it takes inspiration from tuner culture. The concept gets bespoke graphics, new Nismo 18–inch wheels, 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 pick-up truck, mirroring the Navara that was axed in the UK back 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, plus carbon-fibre accents, a bodykit, vented bonnet, roof scoop, rear spoiler, 20-inch wheels, and adjustable coilovers. Powering the concept is a 3.8-litre V6, but it’s been supercharged, and this, along with a new cold air intake and custom exhaust, results in an output of over 400bhp. To help keep this power in check, there are performance tyres and a larger braking system from the Z Nismo.
Project Trailgater 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 set-up, extra storage in the bed rack, cargo cases, auxiliary off-road lighting and 17-inch wheels. There are also some touches for camping, with two 43-inch weatherproof TVs, powered refrigerators, a cooking grille and even a kitchen sink.
