Nissan NV200 (London taxi) weird driveshafts
The Nissan NV200 was a bog standard MPV on the Nissan-Renault B platform.
Nissan wanted to get the London taxi market, but the NV200 is FWD. So they added an extra universal joint to driveshafts, allowing the wheels to turn more. This reduced the turning circle from 11 m to 7.6 m !!!!!! Now I have not found any photos of this amazing front end. Only from reading their press release that suggests that the section of driveshaft with the extra joint is quite short. Even then I would think something with an extra joint will sag and vibrate like ****, no matter how short it is. |
