3. Driver’s seat? No, it’s a racing cockpit.
You would expect a Formula E car manufacturer to put its racy thoughts into building any other car. And this applies to NIO EP9’s components, features, as well as its exterior and interior design.
NextEV NIO describes the car’s interior, especially its cockpit, with “Race the clock. With a racing heart.”
As you can see from the picture above, it looks so futuristic and racing-like. It just gives you the vibe of driving into the future as soon as you step into the car and strap yourself in.
The steering wheel is definitely inspired by racing car’s steering wheel with its LCD screen and control buttons. Informative data about the car, such as gears and temperature, is shown on the screen. And the buttons allow you to control the car in a racing-fashion way.
Those features may look complicated, but the car promises digital experience that is in-tune with the driver through its instinctively simplifying wearable technology.
