Nissan 20-23 Concept and Design Centre Walk-around

Nissan Design Europe celebrated it’s 20th year by gifting itself a new pocket rocket EV concept

Early this week, I was invited to a media event at the Nissan Design Europe Centre in Paddington, London, where they were celebrating their 20th birthday by gifting themselves the extraordinary Nissan 20-23 concept car, an all-wheel drive track-focussed hot hatch style city car. No spec was revealed as this is merely a design concept, but virtual videos of the astonishing interior were revealed. It was launched by Nissan President and CEO Makato Uchido and we met Global Head of Design Alfonso Albaisa and Europe Design boss Matt Weaver and were given unique access to the inner workings of the design centre. From the first sketches, to seeing them translated to 3D digital renderings, and finally to a full-scale clay model.

The first video below focusses on the reveal of the new concept and in the second video we see the design centre and listen to the incredible insights of the design gurus.
