ENTER THE SPORTY LEAF

The Nissan LEAF NISMO Concept car will debut at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show. The NISMO Concept version of the new LEAF has a sporty new exterior designed by NISMO. The application of NISMO racing technology to the car’s body results in enhanced aerodynamic performance and less lift, without sacrificing the LEAF’s excellent drag coefficient. The black interior features NISMO’s signature red accents, creating an exciting, high-performance feel. On the road, the LEAF NISMO Concept offers an exciting drive, thanks to a sport-tuned suspension and highperformance tires, not to mention a custom-tuned computer that delivers instant acceleration at all speeds. The LEAF NISMO Concept combines the environmentally friendly character of an electric car with the exciting driving experience that’s always been a hallmark of the NISMO brand.
