This being the week after the launch of the latest Star Trek movie, I thought I’d go back in time a few years to reminisce about a vehicle by Nissan called the Terranaut, which was described as being “perfect for Picard and his crew”.

An European concept car, according to the Nissan, was designed for “observation and communication in all four corners of the world.”

Beyond the design, one has to think that Kirk would have loved the vehicle for the “wow” factor for picking up the alien babes.
