The item is the 2004 Nissan Actic concept press kit. Originally introduced at the 2004 North American Auto Show in Detroit, the Actic was a study in "why not"? The press kit contains a few pages in a fold-out configuration, along with a CD. There are 60 pictures in high-resolution JPEG format of the Nissan concept, as well as press release information in Microsoft Word file format.
From the press kit:
The Nissan Actic, which makes its world debut at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, is a "content rich" design exercise created by Nissan Design America, Inc. (NDA) in La Jolla, Calif. It combines a simple, confident exterior form with flexible, modular seating and a unique “digital canvas” interior.
Actic makes a visionary statement from Nissan about how vehicle owners will approach technology in the future. In place of traditional content-heavy vehicle control systems that become outdated immediately, Actic's handheld "key fob"-based Information Technology (IT) system allows the user to “grow” the interface with infinite flexibility and updateability. As a result, Actic provides nearly unlimited opportunities for its users to explore and challenge the relationship between exterior and interior environments and to introduce elements of personalization by projecting video displays on a series of six roof-mounted flat LCD screens.
Other Actic innovations include dual sliding side doors, a "cross trainer"-style wheel and tire design (patent pending) with tread-wrapped 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and a versatile, matching trailer with inflatable walls that converts to a comfortable sleeping space for three.
