A second-generation Nissan Leaf Nismo RC
Back in 2011, Nissan unveiled the first Leaf Nismo RC, a unique racing adaptation of its pure-electric hatchback. Now there’s a completely new version, which is based on the current model.
The 2018 car boasts two electric motors and all-wheel drive. Total power and torque are rated at 321 bhp (240 kW / 326 PS) and 640 Nm (472 lb/ft) respectively, figures that result in an impressive 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of just 3.4 seconds.
Such performance is also due to a paltry 1,220 kg (2,689 lbs) kerb weight. Indeed, achieving lightness seems to have been a key objective for Nissan, as the structure comprises a carbon fibre monocoque chassis plus bespoke two-door, three-piece bodywork.
Although a competitive future for the Leaf Nismo RC isn’t envisaged, six examples are going to be built for demonstration purposes around the world.
