First Videos of Nissan's New NV200 London Black Cab

Nissan is trying to get a piece of the London Black Cab pie with a new version of its NV200 taxi van, which has already been chosen as an official cab for Tokyo and the exclusive New York City 'Taxi of Tomorrow'.

Following the release of the first pictures of the NV200 London Taxi, Nissan has now dropped two new videos of the six-passenger model that hopes to compete against the traditional LTI TX4 and the more modern Mercedes Vito in the city's 22,600-strong cab market.

After winning the hearts and minds of New York City officials with the NV200 Yellow Cab, Nissan is aiming to do the same in the city of London.

While athletes from all over the world compete in the 2012 London Olympic Games, Nissan presented its vision for the city's black cab of the future aptly named the 'NV200 London Taxi'.

You may have noticed from the pictures that the 'black cab' version of the NV200 features a visibly wider front track (200mm to be precise) than the NYC model with blistered wheel arches as well as new side steps.
