Nissan Leaf Nismo
N
NISSAN has released pictures of its all-new LEAF NISMO concept ahead of official launch at the Tokyo motor show.
The sporty EV hot hatch looks the part with larger wheels, lower sport suspension and a bespoke body kit – including a rear-diffuser – boot lid spoiler and redesigned front splitter. And there is no shortage of red-accent NISMO styling cues.
While Nissan hasn’t released any technical, according to some reports, the ‘concept’ can be rushed into production if it’s well received by key global markets.
Once confirmed, it’s thought the world’s first pure-electric hot hatch will produce more power and torque than the standard car which runs a 110kW/320Nm single electric motor.
Launch of the sporty pure-electric hatch will follow a long-range version of the standard LEAF which is expected to offer a range between battery recharges in excess of 500km.
