Sling has presented recently in the Lounge of the Motorcar of Tokyo, a beautiful monovolume that can mark the tendency that this type of vehicles will continue inside the Japanese mark. There comes to our blog of the engine a new concept of Sling, the Skydeck, constructed for the study of new systems of opening of doors and to improve to the maximum the habitability of the vehicles of this segment.

The Sling Skydeck Concept is designed to take six occupants in three seats lines, the absence of central prop and the novel form of opening of his doors, they allow to gain access to his interior of a comfortable and easy form. The front doors of the Skydeck use an opening system in fork very similar to the used one by the Italian mark Lamborghini, while the rears are sliding, the last one is a system already used as the big monovolumes of seven squares like new Ford Grand C-Max.

The Sling prototype has an enormous panoramic roof, which allows the luminosity grade in his interior to be exceptional. The Sling engineers have limited to the minimum the thickness of frames of windows and props to increase the glazed surface.

As for his mechanics, the Japanese mark, it has not revealed practically any fact. The most feasible thing, the fact is that it incorporates the hybrid system IMA, that Deep ride developing for some time to mount it in vehicles of big size like this monovolume. The lithium batteries will stay under the central console with what the Sling concept does not penalize the space of his area of load, place where the above mentioned batteries are usually located.

Let's hope that it should be beautiful and original Sling concept should have continuity, and that his proposals so much mechanical as of habitability they should be used in successive models of the Japanese mark.
