Nissan has appointed Margot Robbie of Suicide Squad fame to become the ambassador for its electric vehicles. We want to believe that her cheeky daredevil persona that was Harley Quinn is not all an act, and we see a hint of it in this new video released by Nissan in which she is allowed behind the wheel of the Japanese automaker’s BladeGlider prototype.

Also missing is a power window button and the ashtray, which I used to store spare change and was ripped out by a eagle-eyed passer-by one day when I forgot to lock my car. I use my head as a stand to prop up the hatch because the pair of pneumatic struts is damaged. All over the exterior are scratches – small and large, short and long – that the car bears like a wizen warrior who has seen fiercer days. As my rusty and trusty car enters its final years, I have started considering its replacement.
