Nissan Micra C+C+Conran

Nissan's relationship with London-based designer Sebastian Conran continues with the the latest product of their collaboration: the Nissan Micra C+C+Conran concept. Based on the 1.6 Essenza version of the neat little Micra C+C, the C+C+Conran is a design exercise that will be floated at this week's British International Motor Show to gauge potential interest in a production version. No mechanical changes have been made -- this one's all about style.

Conran's goal with the exterior was to emulate the finish of Japanese lacquer. The paint color used is called Blushing Black, named for the deep wine-red reflections it casts off. The lights and wheels are said to incorporate fleeting hints of red in their dark grey finishes, but in the photos that nuance is not immediately apparent. The trunklid paintwork also incorporates a subtle leaf pattern, which ties directly to the car's interior styling.
