Making its world debut at Geneva, the Terranaut has been designed as a mobile laboratory for scientists (cue the bubbling test tubes and wild hair).
As a laboratory, the cabin only has space for three people and there are just three side doors - one on the passenger side, two on the driver's.
The single rear seat swivels to meet the computer workstation and sits under a glass dome to give a great view of the stars.
Monster 19in wheels are shod with chunky puncture-proof tyres that can have their air pressures adjusted on the move to aid off-road ability.
The Terranaut may be weird science at the moment, but Nissan insiders say it gives a clear indication of the way the next-generation Patrol will look.
