Datsun Sunny Sedan?

Yes, this prototype was derived from a Sunny - but it has a specific name.

And do not forget about the gimmick...

That´s just the internal Datsun/Nissan code for the Sunny base car.

This is the Nissan GR-2 Concept vehicle from 1977.

Indeed!

Do you know about the special gimmick?
That would be another potential point...

"Instead of padded bumpers, the GR-1 utilized a "soft" nose cone."

Not this one - soft noses have been used quite often since the end of the 1960´s.

I´m thinking of a different feature.

Well, here's a crummy picture of the GR-2.
There was a Nissan GR-1 concept displayed during 1975, and that vehicle had significantly different styling.  It's interesting to note the reversal of body design between the two cars.  The 1977 GR-2 had front end styling that was much closer to the 1974-1976 Sunny/B210/Y130.

Yes, the GR-1 was far more inventive in its styling.

I completly agree that the GR-2 was a step back...

As it was a safety car type concept, I am thinking radar assisted braking.

Hows about an intercom/loudspeaker to communicate with people outside of the car without having to roll the window down?
