The SURF-OUT is part of a series of four Nissan concepts that aim to demonstrate the company’s design language and commitment to solid-state batteries.
The price may be small, but your smile certainly won’t be – even if it is slow as hell.

Nissan has shown a new Leaf Nismo RC pure EV race car. The dual 120 kW motors can deliver 478 lb-ft of torque through an AWD system. But the big thing is that the extensive use of carbon fiber reduces the weight of the Leaf RC to 2690 lb. That torque:weight combo allows a 3.3 sec 0-60 time and the low CG should help with handling. We think it looks better than the street car version, too.
Along with the debut of a refreshed R35 for 2017, at this year’s New York Auto Show Nissan also brought along some incredible examples from each generation of the Skyline GT-R. From its fairly humble beginnings in 1969 as a high performance lightweight runabout to its current state as an all-wheel drive, 565 horsepower supercar, check out how Nissan’s sports car has evolved over the decades.
Back when the Skyline R35 made landfall on American shores as the Nissan GT-R it quickly became clear that this car was a game changer. Packing all-wheel-drive, twin turbos, a dual clutch gearbox, and sophisticated electronic enhancements, the GT-R offered legitimate supercar performance for well under $100K.

Ride along with us as we drive the 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo around Autobahn Country Club the 2015 Midwest Automotive Media Association Fall Rally.
Ride along with us as we take some laps around Mid Ohio Sports Car Course with Scott Francis in his 2013 Nissan GT-R, outfitted with 19″ Forgestar wheels, Pirelli slicks, Alcon J-hook rotors and Carbotech brake pads.
This week we have the keys to something particularly special, courtesy of our friends at Smokey’s Dyno & Performance. While the Nissan GT-R is certainly no slouch straight off the showroom floor, there’s still those among us who yearn for even more performance. That’s where the folks at Switzer Performance come in.
While The Stones sang that “You can’t always get what you want”, they added that “If you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need”. With Nissan’s unveiling of the GTR-LM (during the Super Bowl, interestingly) WEC LMP1 endurance racing may indeed get what it needs.
This week we’ve got the keys to Nissan’s sporty crossver, the Juke Nismo, here in the uprated RS trim. We don’t normally think of crossovers as the sort of vehicle that one might consider taking to a local autocross or track day, but after a week with the Juke Nismo RS it’s clear that the engineers from Nismo weren’t content to just give the Juke a bodykit and wheel makeover and call it a day.
The Nissan DNA garage in Japan is a veritable treasure trove of iconic production cars, race cars, concept vehicles and other extremely rare one-offs. Only accessible to Nissan employees, our friends at Motorsport Retro and Speedhunters recently managed to infiltrate the hallowed walls of the facility, capturing the incredible gallery of images you see here.
It’s been seven years since the R35 Skyline first made landfall in the US, and in that time, year-over-year changes to Godzilla have been largely incremental. But while none of GT-R’s updates have been revolutionary, with each revision of Nissan’s supercar it has gotten consistently faster and, theoretically, easier to live with. We decided to get behind the wheel of a 2015 model, here coated in the new-for-2015 Gold Flake Red Pearl pant, to see what Nissan’s engineers have come up with to face the recent onslaught of new contenders for the budget supercar crown.
Debuting in 1969, the Datsun 240Z has since garnered a devout enthusiast following that has grown with every new addition to the Z car roster. Each year Nissan celebrates these cars with the enthusiast community at the ZDAYZ event, and this year they decided to give fans a little something extra by debuting the significantly updated 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo at the show.
Earlier this week at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, Nissan showed off their latest design study in the form of the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept. Part of a retooling effort of the brand’s overall style, the Sport Sedan Concept is likely a thinly veiled teaser of the design cues we should expect to see in the next Maxima.
This is the overview page for the 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo. Rumors, news, reviews, road tests, specifications, videos, awards, and other relevant information will all be included here as they become available.
Currently holding the production car lap time record around the Nurburgring by a wide margin with a time of 7.08.679, it’s clear Nismo’s engineers have created a machine which is very much at home on a road course. Without question, it’s the most track-focused version of the R35 road car we’ve yet seen. But what’s it like to actually drive?
Nissan has debuted the 2014 Juke Nismo RS at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The Sporty compact crossover is the most powerful in the Juke lineup and receives a set of features that make it more sporty and entertaining.
This week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nissan rolled out a NISMO performance concept version of its compact sedan. But before you start to yawn, you should be aware that this is a Sentra you’d actually want to drive.
Nissan is showing two new concept cars built on the same architecture at the Tokyo Motor show, called the IDx Freeflow and IDx Nismo. The futuristic coupes have a somewhat retro personality to them and, according to Nissan, the concepts represent “a new approach to product development.”
