Todt , which came in 3rd overall in the 41st Rallye Monte-Carlo in January 1972.

Could preview a sub-compact crossover.

Nissan has dropped a new teaser of their latest concept that will be unveiled at the 2015 IAA in Frankfurt. The design study concept could preview a future sub-compact crossover, judging by the enhanced teaser.

It features Nissan latest design language, as seen in the prominent V-shaped grille, boomerang headlamps, and the floating roof impression. Being a concept, Nissan designers have been let loose on its styling, sporting striking lines, bulging arches, large rims, and a two tone black and red paint job.

The crossover concept is Nissan's way of demonstrating to the public that they can "raise the bar" in the segment. So it could either be an all new model, or the next generation of their smallest crossover offering, the Nissan Juke, which has already undergone a facelift in its first generation guise.
