Don't know.  It is the name it was shown under in the UK.
I actually marked my picture down as the EUAuto MyCar but changed it when I found so many pics under the NICE banner after Googling it..
Didn't see any mentions of ItalDesign mind, although I wouldn't be surprised if they did design it because it is very competent..
I'll have to look into it further.

The car is made in Hong Kong by EU Autos so the NICE name (No Internal Combustion Engine) is for marketing in Europe (apparently it will be sold through EV Stores, although one website called it EU Stores!).  Apparently NICE has fairly recently been acquired by French minicar maker Aixam. 

It's still a MyCar whether it's sold by EU, NICE or Aixam!

And of course you are right that it was styled by Ital Design - in fact by The Boss Himself, Giorgetto!  Thought it looked remarkably good!

Fellow AutoPuzzlers, would I be correct in thinking that this is the only car ever made in Hong Kong? ???

Now there's a good question.
I had dozens when I was a kid but they were only an inch or 2 long and made of the cheapest plastic possible..
But this might be the only 'proper' car?

It isn't clear if the car is actually manufactured in HK though, or only designed there, even if I think ID did much more than the mere styling, as usual.
