No, we haven't posted those photos with a skewed aspect ratio; that's Nissan's thin-is-in Land Glider concept, a 1+1 vehicle that seats driver and passenger one behind the other, like in a military plane.

Conceived of specifically for urban transport, the narrow-framed car--or is it an enclosed motorcycle--leans to the side during turning to compensate for its narrow track. We can't help but wonder: Will that lead to upper-body scrapes while changing lanes in, say, crowded Manhattan traffic?
