Nissan Pulsar Nismo Concept unveiled

It was almost inevitable that Nissan would create a high-performance Nismo version of the new Pulsar hatchback. And now that car has been revealed, at least in concept form.

A purposeful look is provided by a full body kit that comprises a restyled front bumper, side skirts, wheelarch extensions and a rear diffuser. Also fitted are 19” ten-spoke alloy wheels and a carbon fibre spoiler.

The sporty theme continues inside, where the Pulsar Nismo Concept has been equipped with Alcantara-trimmed front sports seats, alloy pedals and unique instrument graphics.

Chassis tweaks include a lowered suspension set-up which benefits from recalibrated dampers and springs. The steering is said to be more responsive, too.

However, Nissan hasn’t disclosed anything about the engine. One of the more likely candidates has to be the 1.6 litre turbocharged petrol unit from the Juke Nismo that develops 197 bhp (147 kW / 200 PS) with 250 Nm (184 lb/ft) of torque.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
