Nissan Shows Potent Leaf Nismo EV Race Car
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.

Nissan’s ZEOD RC may be able to run an entire lap of the 24 Hours of Le Mans under full electric power, but after that, it will still call upon traditional internal combustion to keep things moving. Nismo president Shoichi Miyatani recently highlighted the light weight of the 1.5-liter three cylinder motor that provides that motivation in a very non traditional way, cradling the powerplant in his arms like a St. Bernard puppy.

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?

NISMO To Build Upgraded GT-R, Return Nissan To Le Mans
NISMO, Nissan’s performance arm, has always been a bit of an odd duck. It never had quite the sanctioning of AMG or M, or even F-Sport, instead being relegated to a 370Z with a tweaked suspension and an aftermarket parts catalog. That’s all set to change, as NISMO is now the official global performance car and motorsports sub-brand for Nissan.
