Nissan used the 17th Tokyo Motor Show in 1970 to present the 126X Concept. The radically futuristic wedge-shaped four-seater was powered by a rear-mounted, transverse Nissan L-series straight-six engine. Its stand-out feature was a strip of lights along the hood that lit up with either three red, two yellow, or five green lights depending on whether the vehicle was braking, at constant speed, or accelerating. A die-cast model badged as the "Datsun 126Xβ was produced by Matchbox from 1973 to 1985.
