At the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show later this month, Nissan will show its new Nissan Leaf electric-car slated for global launch in 2010. Standing next to the Nissan Leaf will be the Land Glider EV concept.

Nissan says that the Land Glider concept is a “new proposal for urban mobility that can be enabled by zero-emission car.”

The Japanese automaker says that its narrow, ultra-compact body can help reduce traffic congestion and promote effective use of parking space. The Land Glider shifts the center of gravity by leaning on turns providing a sense of driving and a powerful ride.

Full technical specs will be made available at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.
