electric vehicle technology can deliver exciting yet quiet, zero-emission
power ñ a key component of the companyís Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision.

Nissan unleashes all-new LEAF NISMO RC electric race car 0:46

You may look at the Nissan Leaf and think “green urban runabout,” but the
automaker’s NISMO racing specialists saw serious race potential in the
electric car. Witness, then, the all-new – and seriously appealing – Nissan
Leaf NISMO RC, the regular Leaf’s bonkers racing sibling, complete with a
whole lot of power.
Nissan may have brought refreshes of the Murano and Maxima to the LA Auto
Show 2018 this week, but it saved the Leaf NISMO RC all for itself in Japan.
It’ll debut on the track on December 2, at the annual NISMO Festival at Fuji
International Speedway. There, it’ll take pride of place next to the new
Nissan Formula E car.
As with an old friend with new plastic surgery, you have to look closely to
see the regular Leaf hatchback underneath the NISMO RC changes. The bodywork
has been seriously overhauled, with an aggressively long hood leading to
Nissan’s V-motion grille. Silver and black paint is picked out with NISMO’s
traditional red accent color.
The front and rear sections are removable, and the whole car is almost 15
feet long with a 9 foot wheelbase. However it’s significantly lower to the
asphalt than a regular Leaf. In fact, at at under 48 inches tall, it’s about
a foot lower down.
Underneath is a full carbon-fiber racing monocoque structure, to which
Nissan and NISMO have bolted a variety of new parts. The regular Leaf
donates its high-capacity lithium-ion battery and inverters, but here they
feed the Leaf NISMO RC’s two 120 kW electric motors. Together they deliver
240 kilowatts and over 470 lb-ft of torque.
It’s all-wheel drive, with power managed independently to the front and rear
axles. The battery pack is placed in the center to help with balance, while
the electric motors and inverters are positioned right over the wheels.
Total weight is around 2,690 pounds.
Of course, the big thing here is performance. Nissan says the Leaf NISMO RC
will do 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds, making it 50-percent faster than the old
car. That’s courtesy of more than double the maximum power and torque of the
racer’s predecessor.
“The all-new Leaf NISMO RC shows how we’re setting our sights even higher
when it comes to raw power and performance,” Executive Vice President
Daniele Schillaci, Nissan’s global head of marketing, sales and electric
vehicles, said of the car, “making electric vehicles even more exciting for
customers.”
Sadly, that doesn’t extend to actually selling them. While this might seem
the perfect addition to Nissan dealerships – we can see it sitting nicely
alongside the Nissan GT-R for those who demand some green with their grunt –
the automaker only plans to make six of them in total. They’ll be used as EV
halo vehicles around the world, with demonstrations at major shows along
with Formula E races.
