Nissan's brand Datsun is looking to cater
Indonesia's young car enthusiasts with the new Go Live Concept. Based on the
Datsun Go hatch, the study features a lot of customization, and it looks like
it came from a tuner, rather than an automaker.
Changes include the camouflage-style paint, bring
yellow accents, large hexagonal grille, new headlights, bulging fenders,
different bumpers, sporty side skirts, a roof-mounted spoiler, and 17-inch
alloy wheels.
The brand's executive design director, Kei Kyu,
said: "We didn't want to just have a sporty execution of the design – like
having it sit low to the ground and extra wide – because that's so typical and
predictable in today's world. Instead, we wanted to show that this car makes a
strong design statement to our customers, who express themselves through their
vehicles and help them celebrate their passions."
Datsun hasn’t released any images with the
interior of the concept that can be seen at the 2017 Indonesia Auto Show, from
August 10, or details about its powertrain, but the production version is
powered by Nissan's 1.2-liter petrol unit that's linked to a 5-speed manual
gearbox.
