Correction: At least two concept vehicles were made. The red one you posted, and this white one.

As for the connection to the Skyline (and other cars):
Quote:
The car was four-wheel-drive, dividing the power transmitted 33% to the front and 67% to the rear, with the aim to achieve good balance and road behavior at speed. This system was the first development of the following ATESSA - Nissan's 4WD system, adopted later for production models such as the Skyline, the Bluebird, the Cefiro, and some others.

The first MID 4 also had the "first stage" HICAS four-wheel-steering system, that looked for a better lateral roadholding, taking on account the lateral acceleration and the pass-through bends speed. This system, was adopted, once reworked, in the Z32 Fairlady-Z/ 90+300ZX, and middle /top Nissan's coupe and sedan ranges.
