Nissan Reveals Concept 20-23 Show Car

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nissan Design Europe (NDE) being located in London, Makoto Uchida, Nissan’s President and Chief Executive Officer, visited NDE to unveil an all-new sporty urban electric concept car called Nissan Concept 20-23.

The Concept 20-23 name reflects 20 years of NDE’s position in the heart of London, as well as the company’s traditional number 2 (ni) 3 (san) and the current year. It also continues a long Nissan tradition of bringing eye-catching playfulness to the world of hatchbacks and city cars. With the heritage of Nissan’s so-called Pike cars, such as the Be-1, Pao, Figaro and S-Cargo, Concept 20-23 brings a 21st century twist to this small-car tradition.

Excerpt from this story from Nation of Change:

China’s largest automaker, BYD, is selling its Dolphin hatchback EV for a low-low $15,000, complete with a 13-inch rotating screen, ventilated front seats, and a 260-mile range. Here in the U.S., you have to pay more than twice that price for the Tesla Model 3 EV ($39,000) with lower tech and only 10 more miles of driving range. In case $15K beats your budget, the Dolphin has a plug-in hybrid version with an industry-leading 74-mile range on a single charge for only $11,000 and an upgrade with an unbeatable combined gas-electric range of 1,300 miles. Not surprisingly, EVs surged to 52% of all auto sales in China last year. And with such a strong domestic springboard into the world market, Chinese companies accounted for more than 70% of global EV sales.

It’s time to face reality in the world of cars and light trucks. Let’s admit it, China’s visionary industrial policy is the source of its growing dominance over global EV production. Back in 2009-2010, three years before Elon Musk sold his first mass-production Tesla, Beijing decided to accelerate the growth of its domestic auto industry, including cheap, all-electric vehicles with short ranges for its city drivers. Realizing that an EV is just a steel box with a battery, and battery quality determines car quality, Beijing set about systematically creating a vertical monopoly for those batteries — from raw materials like lithium and cobalt from the Congo all the way to cutting-edge factories for the final product. With its chokehold on refining all the essential raw materials for EV batteries (cobalt, graphite, lithium, and nickel), by 2023-2024 China accounted for well over 80% of global sales of battery components and nearly two-thirds of all finished EV batteries.

Clearly, new technology is driving our automotive future, and it’s increasingly clear that China is in the driver’s seat, ready to run over the auto industries of the U.S. and the European Union like so much roadkill. Indeed, Beijing switched to the export of autos, particularly EVs, to kick-start its slumbering economy in the aftermath of the Covid lockdown.

Given that it was already the world’s industrial powerhouse, China’s auto industry was more than ready for the challenge. After robotic factories there assemble complete cars, hands-free, from metal stamping to spray painting for less than the cost of a top-end refrigerator in the U.S., Chinese companies pop in their low-cost batteries and head to one of the country’s fully automated shipping ports. There, instead of relying on commercial carriers, leading automaker BYD cut costs to the bone by launching its own fleet of eight enormous ocean-going freighters. It started in January 2024 with the BYD Explorer No. 1, capable of carrying 7,000 vehicles anywhere in the world, custom-designed for speedy drive-on, drive-off delivery. That same month, another major Chinese company you’ve undoubtedly never heard of, SAIC Motor, launched an even larger freighter, which regularly transports 7,600 cars to global markets.

Those cars are already heading for Europe, where BYD’s Dolphin has won a “5-Star Euro Safety Rating” and its dealerships are popping up like mushrooms in a mine shaft. In a matter of months, Chinese cars had captured 11% of the European market. Last year, BYD began planning its first factory in Mexico as an “export hub” for the American market and is already building billion-dollar factories in Turkey, Thailand, and Indonesia. Realizing that “20% to 30%” of his company’s revenue is at risk, Ford CEO Jim Farley says his plants are switching to low-cost EVs to keep up. After the looming competition led GM to bring back its low-cost Chevy Bolt EV, company Vice President Kurt Kelty said that GM will “drive the cost of E.V.s to lower than internal combustion engine vehicles.”

So, what does all this mean for America? In the past four years, the Biden administration made real strides in protecting the future of the country’s auto industry, which is headed toward ensuring that American motorists will be driving $10,000 EVs with a 1,000-mile range, a 10-year warranty, a running cost of 10 cents a mile, and 0 (yes zero!) climate-killing carbon emissions.

Not only did President Biden extend the critical $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of an American-made EV, but his 2021 Infrastructure Act helped raise the number of public-charging ports to a reasonable 192,000, with 1,000 more still being added weekly, reducing the range anxiety that troubles half of all American car owners. To cut the cost of the electricity needed to drive those car chargers, his 2022 Inflation Reduction Act allocated $370 billion to accelerate the transition to low-cost green energy. With such support, U.S. EV sales jumped 7% to a record 1.3 million units in 2024.

Most important of all, that funding stimulated research for a next-generation solid-state battery that could break China’s present stranglehold over most of the components needed to produce the current lithium-ion EV batteries. The solution: a blindingly simple bit of all-American innovation — don’t use any of those made-in-China components. With investment help from Volkswagen, the U.S. firm QuantumScape has recently developed a prototype for a solid-state battery that can reach “80% state of charge in less than 15 minutes,” while ensuring “improved safety,” extended battery life, and a driving range of 500 miles. Already, investment advisors are touting the company as the next Nvidia.

But wait a grim moment! If we take President Donald Trump at his word, his policies will slam the brakes on any such gains for the next four years — just long enough to potentially send the Detroit auto industry into a death spiral. On the campaign trail last year, Trump asked oil industry executives for a billion dollars in “campaign cash,” and told the Republican convention that he would “end the electrical vehicle mandate on day one” and thereby save “the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration.” And in his victory speech last November, he celebrated the country’s oil reserves, saying, “We have more liquid gold than anyone else in the world.”

I've had a good week for diecast acquisitions, bringing forth a rainbow of neat stuff and a rare chance to take a few shots outside:

I discovered some cars from the G case for the first time, including the badass Kia EV6 custom. I had already decided to grab one of these on the grounds of not having enough Korean cars, the nice colour and itasha (or Korean equivalent; on which note, as best I can tell the word 귀여운 apparently means 'cuteness' and is pronounced 'gwiyomi') livery, but the real treat here is the significantly more custom bodywork than I had originally realised. Not only does the car boast widebody flared arches and an aggressive ducktail spoiler, the front chin spoiler forms an unbroken ramp up behind the 'grille' much as you might find on racing supercars like the Ferrari 488 Pista, and continues at the same angle with barely a crease up to the roofline, and the rear window tapers inside the car's bodywork much as seen on the Ford Supervan IV (the quest for peace) and VW T3 custom. Inside, the car has a central driver's seat as you'd find in a McLaren F1 and all other seats are eliminated. Whatever your attitude to electric cars, the degree of customisation deserves all respect.

Another purple addition to the collection from the G assortment is this much more conventional 1968 Dodge Dart, with no more specific name given, but the hood scoop and stance implies this is a Dart Hemi with a 7-litre engine, built y Hurst for drag competition. The visuals are superb with fantastic striping fully appropriate to the era. I've seen the Dart many times but never found one I really liked until now. Everything here is exactly as I'd expect for a drag-spec muscle car except one thing: it's part of the 2025 'Compact Kings' series. This being a compact car makes absolutely no sense to me - but then I am a European and how Americans classify their cars has always totally confused me, so I might as well admit defeat. Sure, it's a compact car. 'Compact' is about interior volume, not, like, how big the whole car is. Whatever.

From that same series comes this, the 1976 Chevrolet Chevette. While the Dart seems likely to be a drag spec car, this is undeniably one, as attested by the NHRA livery and wheelie bar. I'm not that into drag racing but I do love a hot hatchback, and besides, it's based on the T-car platform that in the UK became the Vauxhall Chevette, one of the earliest British-built hatchbacks, and a car that was still on the roads when I was a kid learning how to spot cars. Its shovel nose was an easy tell in traffic. I still remember the weird feeling of realising 'Chevette' was a name that had to have come from Chevrolet rather than Vauxhall, and that the GM badge really did mean it was at least sort of American, just like Ford was sort of American, even if they were built here and not sold over there. Understanding global markets is tough when you've barely started school.

There was a Matchbox restock too, and I was able to finally come across something I was annoyed to miss the first time: the Radical Motorsports SR3 XXR. This is a fabulous roofless track car that seems designed to be a baby Ferrari 333 SP. Rather than the Ferrari's V12, Radical generally kits their cars out with a 1.5 litre Suzuki GSX-R inline-4 from the Hayabusa sport bike, reworked by Radical's own performance engines subsidiary, making 232hp in a car weighing 720kg. They even make a street-legal version. They run in one-make racing series all over the world and Radical have made over 1100 of them; this car feels like discovering a cool secret.

Another Matchbox I was overjoyed to find was the 1970 Citroen 2CV, often known as the "deux cheveaux" (a word which, as a kid, I was convinced was spelled "dershavoh" based on how it sounds). This is one of those diminutive, cheap, simple 'people's cars' that just make you smile. They are all dreadful boneshakers by any modern standard, but the Beetle, the Cinquecento, the Mini, the Isetta, the Maluch, the Subaru 360 all have the same quality of chunky, squat, vaguely comical dumpiness of proportion that makes them silly for everyone and therefore demeaning to no-one. We all lack dignity extracting ourselves from one of these things; they are great levellers. The snail-like 2CV in this case is maybe doing double duty; I believe it may be a stealth Bond Car, the most well-known appearance of a yellow 2CV being in the semi-comical but no less awesome for it chase scene in For Your Eyes Only. Best Roger Moore Bond film, no question.

Matchboxes are 3 for 2 in Tesco, so for the third I grabbed a curious but not unfamiliar model, the Coast 2 Coast. I don't know much about boats but the detail touches on this model appeal to me, with a set of scuba gear on the swim deck and a coiled rope in the bow as well as cast propellors underneath. Given the recent throwback fantasy castings coming out of Mattel, like the Rapid Pulse and Slide-Burn from HW that resemble Matchbox fantasy models of the 70s and the return of the fantasy MBX Field Car as both an enclosed and this year also open-top, a rework of another 70s Matchbox, I wonder if this is a modernised call back to the old Police Launch. It's an extremely coherent design and I'll be surprised if I don't get more of them in future.

Meanwhile, in the German supermarket quarter, Aldi continues to have an excellent HW restocking policy. They had got a B case in shortly before I got there, so the R32 Skyline that appears in the background of Han's funeral in Fast & Furious 7 hadn't been plucked. I have a few R32s but I do like to have iconic versions of cars where possible. The road car was usually promoted in a dark grey metallic finish, and while I did plan to buy the Tomica Premium version eventually, events conspired to shut that door for me before 'eventually' arrived. This is a very attractive and understated rendition of this car and the metalflake paint is a lot nicer than plain gloss. Mind you, for all I prefer the car to the R33 or R34, I think I'm done for R32s, though; a reasonably-priced Advan Team Transport (together with the truck) or an exceptional new colour scheme is about all that I would really consider at this point.

Across the car park from Aldi is Lidl, which on my first visit had no diecasts at all, but last time in addition to a quick raid on the bakery I stumbled on a basket of 2024 D case Hot Wheels, a box that seemed to completely evade Tesco, Poundland, Home Bargains and all the local dedicated toyshops alike. From it, this week I plucked the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS in acid green, one of a number of HW concept cars that have transitioned to become emergency vehicles once their novelty fades and part of the 'first response' series. This phrase, near-exclusive to American English and therefore exotic in its unfamiliarity, is intriguing to me since it covers a huge variety of types of emergency personnel: cops, medics and firefighters, certainly, but also dogcatchers, coastguards, biohazard cleanup guys, community nurses, plumbers…and with the 'RESPONSE TEAM' graphics, this tough, fast and undeniably cool emergency vehicle gives no clues as to who would drive it or what response their team will bring.

Finally, the Hot Wheels universe has been going bonkers for the Silhouettes premium series. Needless to say, the one shop I can easily reach that has any premiums has seen no sign of these, and is still clogged with Exotic Envy Aston Martin V12 Speedsters nobody wants - but in a rare flash of sense, Amazon had some in stock. Not the RWB, of course, or the Nissans, or even the Mazda, but the McLaren. The McLaren 720S with Liberty Walk LB-Works body kit may be in the shadow of the RWB and Liberty Walk R34 skyline in its debut, but unlike both of them, it's a fantastic colour. HW metallic teal is one of my favourite colours for cars, and as soon as I saw pics of this series I knew I'd be focusing on the McLaren. Most McLarens don't move me particularly and I don't have any other 720s, but the bolt-on widebody and silly wing bring much-needed personality to what I've always considered an anodyne and forgettable blob of a car. The complicated contours show off the shine of the paint, and without a coloured livery to portray, the dodgy inkjet-looking tampos that plague recent HW premiums aren't an issue, as I expect they are with the R34 and Mazda. As a result I find myself revising my opinion on the 720S while I gaze at the sparking turquoise thing on the desk and catch myself enjoying design I'd previously rejected. It's nice finding new stuff to enjoy.

That said, though, the Silhouettes series is a mess and I'm surprised people are so into it. I will admit on paper this is a great roster, but the actual designs are for the most part a big letdown. The RWB is a basic-ass colour (so many people have called it 'clean', but if that's you, I have news you won't like: there's a high risk you have boring taste), the R34 has a deco that's already been done twice (and pretty badly on the R35), the 300ZX is an uninteresting and rather half-hearted pastiche of the Calsonic livery and the Mazda is just fugly, licenced livery though it may be. The scalpers can fight over them.
