Nissan showed up to the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show with its Ariya Concept, an all-electric crossover that could preview future styling for the next-generation Rogue and Murano. On the surface, this doesn't sound like the type of news that would interest car enthusiasts but there's more to the Ariya than meets the eye. The concept features Nissan's new twin-motor all-wheel-control technology called e-4ORCE, which is meant to deliver balanced and predictable power to all four wheels in an EV application, providing handling that is on par with premium sports cars.

No one seems to know what's going on with the next-generation Nissan GT-R but the carmaker has hinted that its flagship sports car could become electric. If the R36 GT-R does, in fact, become electric, this new e-4ORCE system could be an important feature.
