Nissan DUALIS Powered Suit

This mecha version of the Nissan DUALIS SUV was designed by anime creator/mecha designer Shoji Kawamori and stands stands 3.5 meter tall. It will be on display at the Nissan Gallery in Ginza from May 23 to June 13 and at the Sony Building in Ginza from June 25 to July 1. Check out a few videos of the DUALIS Powered Suit in action after the jump, although there's no way the real thing moves like that. Because if it did, Japan would've already unleashed these on the world and conquered us. I suspect the real thing moves similar to this or not at all.
