Nissan has looked to celebrate 20 years of its London design studio operating by unveiling a new electric hot hatchback concept. Known as the 20-23 Concept, the car was created by a team of young designers who were told to create a car without any constraints.

Speaking about the 20-23 Concept, Nissan's senior vice president for global design, Alfonso Albaisa, talked about where the inspiration for the car came from. He stated: "The young team here at NDE was given a simple brief: design a fun electric city car that you'd like to drive every day in London. The 20-23 Concept that they designed is a compact hatchback which is strongly influenced by the online racing world. I love the story it tells about how the worlds of modern city living, online gaming and zero emissions mobility intersect."

As this is a concept car, don't expect to see one on the roads anytime soon, even if it does serve as an interesting glimpse into what the future of EV hot hatchbacks could look like.
