To commemorate two decades of Nissan Design Europe (NDE) based in the heart of London, Nissan‘s President and CEO, Makoto Uchida, has introduced the Nissan Concept 20-23.<\/p>\n
Reflecting 20 years of NDE’s London presence and blending with Nissan’s iconic numbering tradition, the Concept 20-23 has been conceived by a young team from NDE. The car represents their vision of the ideal city car, free from design constraints.<\/p>\n
Other inspirations take things out of the city and onto the track, with Formula E and modern-day simulator racing also playing a role in the concept’s design.<\/p>\n
Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s Senior Vice President for global design, mentioned, “The 20-23 Concept, a fusion of online racing inspirations and modern urban living, is a compact hatchback designed to resonate with everyday London life.”<\/p>\n
The design combines the playful aesthetics of Nissan’s Pike car legacy with 21st-century touches. Notable features include its aerodynamic design, unique front and rear LED light setup, cameras for mirrors, muscular wheel arches and an exterior painted in a textured grey that mimics a singular metal piece. The car’s sporty vibe extends to its interior, presenting a futuristic racing car atmosphere with scissor doors, deep bucket seats and a rectangular yoke steering wheel.<\/p>\n
Albaisa added that the Concept 20-23, “Symbolizes 20 years of NDE’s legacy, where innovative concepts come alive!”<\/p>\n
Whether or not there are plans to put the vehicle into production has yet to be shared by Nissan at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
