<span style="font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif; color: #444444; font-size: x-small;"> The real bit.
The Nike ONE was designed by Phil Frank and Takuya Asano. Phil Frank,
also responsible for the design of the Saleen
S7, led the small design team, and kept the concept true to Nike's
sporting pedigree. While the shape of Nike One is taught and dynamic,
the real genius lies beneath the skin.
The designers wanted to make the car an extension of the future athlete,
and as such, control inputs are made through the main muscles of the
legs and arms, the Nike ONE requires peak physical perfection for
maximum performance. The drivers sits in a laid-out-motorcycle rider
position, their feet harnessed into pedal bike like clip-on foot pegs,
and their hands are connected to the vehicles CPU via non-invasive
bio-ports which allow for a direct man and machine neural interface.
This enables the driver to fine tune the control inputs by the power
of thought. This is a concept remember.
