A limited edition of the new Nissan Micra C+C coupe-convertible city car is going to be unveiled soon in London, UK.

Created together with a renowned designer Sebastian Conran, who also lives in London, the spec.ed. model is based on the C+C Essenza trim, which is powered by a 1.6-liter 108bhp gasoline engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

They called it Nissan C+C+Conran.

How original.

The Nissan C+C+Conran’s design is centered on the new color scheme, developed by Sebastian Conran and called Blushing Black.

Inspired by the deep black seen on Japanese traditional lacquer-ware and accented with red reflections, the scheme gets rid of traditional for both European and American automakers chrome decor in favor of a new dark grey color called Titanium Black.

The color replaces chrome and silver on the wheels, headlamps and instrument panel giving the originally cute and fragile-looking car really menacing look.

The vehicle’s interior also features different shades of grey and red. There is red leather upholstery with laser-printed overlapping leaves on the sits. Instrument panel, doors, boot lid, and even glovebox also feature red and black leather swathes.

In its press release, Nissan says that ‘based on reaction to the car from visitors to the show the C+C+Conran, or a car very much like it, could possibly make production’.

Compared to Micra C+C’s current competitors, Opel / Vauxhall Tigra, Ford Street Ka, Mini One Convertible and Citroen C3 Pluriel, this little baby looks like a real stunner. I mean, girls would really love it.
