Summary
If in 2024 there is a new lightweight sports car built using the design concept of “lightweight above all else”, what will it look like?
Nis4 is a new light sports car based on the KMA K310 chassis Sports/Supercar Design Thread - #477 by abg7
The weight of the Nis4 is strictly controlled within 800 kg. Through the extensive use of carbon fiber materials, lightweighting is maximized. Every design of the vehicle prioritizes weight reduction, and from the chassis to the interior, it reflects the ultimate pursuit of lightweight.
Nis4 is developed based on the modular KMA K310 platform, adopts a mid-engine layout, and the front and rear weight distribution is almost perfect.
The pushrod suspension design provides excellent steering feedback and precise handling performance.
Nis4 is equipped with the same LR16 engine as the ABTC racing car. In order to meet the road standards, only the turbine is replaced.
The acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is less than 3.5 seconds, which is close to high-performance sports cars.
Nis4 inherits the core philosophy of the classic lightweight sports car (Lotus Elise), and redefines driving pleasure with the sense of control that integrates man and car.
Nis4 will undoubtedly become a new benchmark for modern lightweight sports cars, bringing a pure and passionate experience to people who love driving.
