# Watch Margot Robbie Drift the Nissan BladeGlider Concept Car around Monaco

Nissan has officially revealed its first electric vehicle ambassador in a [new short film](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdGHwotnQGc>) starring her, the one and only Margot Robbie—the Australian actress who has starred in *Suicide Squad* and *The Wolf of Wall Street—*and the Nissan BladeGlider, an EV concept with styling that loosely resembles the [DeltaWing](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/6027/deltawing-we-hardly-knew-ye>).

As if Margot Robbie weren't exciting enough, she gets behind of the wheel and takes the BladeGlider onto the Formula One circuit at Monaco for a race set at midnight on wet, shiny tarmac.

Regarding the future of EVs, the Australian actress said, "It's a really exciting time for electric vehicles. More people are choosing to go electric, leading the way to a more sustainable future and the Nissan BladeGlider hints at the future of smarter performance cars."

The BladeGlider, a three-seat 268-horsepower EV, gets to 60 miles per hour in five seconds, Nissan claims, and has a top speed of just under 120 mph. This prototype is not for sheet metal bragging rights, either, although it will be displayed at the Geneva Motor Show next month; Nissan says "the prototype is part of Nissan's Intelligent Mobility vision of how cars should be driven, powered and integrated into society."
