Actor Margot Robbie has been revealed as the 'new face of Nissan electric cars' and has staged a promotional 'race' video in an electric BladeGlider through the streets of Monaco.

The high performance car was designed by Nissan to 'showcase the fun and excitement of pure electric vehicles and offer a glimpse of the all-electric sports car of the future'.

In the short film, The Wolf of Wall Street and Suicide Squad star is seen drifting around Fairmont Hairpin, arguably the most famous corner in Formula One racing, and executing a daring overtaking manoeuvre along the sweeping Massenet corner.

Margot Robbie 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."

Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles for Nissan Europe said: "We want to inspire people to take small steps towards cleaner, safer cities, and working with Margot is the perfect way to do just that."

The BladeGlider is part of Nissan's Intelligent Mobility vision, showing how cars could evolve to connect with the world around them.
