Nissan Leaf Nismo Debuts

As mentioned earlier, the Leaf Nismo concept is the sporty version of the Leaf electric car from Nissan. The Leaf Concept has a sporty new exterior designed by Nismo, which is the tuning division for Nissan. The black interior features Nismo's signature red accents, creating a high-performance feel. The new Nissan Leaf Nismo Concept offers a sport-tuned suspension and high-performance tires, not to mention a custom-tuned computer that delivers instant acceleration at all speeds. The Leaf Nismo Concept combines the characteristics of an electric car with the driving experience.




Nissan has, however, not revealed the specs of the Leaf Nismo as of now, but according to the company, it will come fitted with a "custom-tuned computer that delivers instant acceleration at all speeds." While the deliveries for the new generation Leaf has already started in Japan, the company has not made any such announcements for the Leaf Nismo Concept.
Just weeks after showcasing the 2018 Nissan Leaf, Nissan has introduced the Nissan Leaf NISMO Concept. The sporty fifth-gen Nissan Leaf will debut at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show that opens Oct 25.
The Nissan Leaf NISMO Concept gets a number of styling enhancements from NISMO, Nissan’s motorsports and in-house tuning division. The Leaf NISMO Concept is fitted with a sporty aero kit consisting of front-lip spoiler, side skirts and diffuser-style rear bumper – all with red highlights.
The restyled front bumper has horizontal LED DRLs too on the sides. The white-black exterior colour scheme sees the central portion of the hood also painted in black. On the sides, the mirrors have red highlights, and larger six double-spoke alloy wheels have replaced standard wheels. At the rear, the diffuser-style rear bumper houses a brake light in the centre. Lastly, NISMO badges are there at the front and rear.
Inside, the performance-oriented theme continues with red stitching on the seats and steering wheel, red accents around the air vents and the start-stop button. There’s a red mark on the flat-bottomed steering wheel at the top. Reports say that Nissan equipped the Leaf NISMO Concept with a sport-tuned suspension and a tweaked power unit controller that aids for improved acceleration.
The 2018 Nissan Leaf has a 40 kWh battery pack as standard. Its EM57 electric motor generates 150 PS and 320 Nm of torque. It has a driving range of 400 km as per the JC08 test cycle. Changes to these figures for the Nissan Leaf NISMO Concept, if any, are currently unknown. Nissan has not confirmed whether it intends to put the concept into production.

Nissan Note

The premium hatchback market in India is a growing segment for sure. Some of the big players such as Maruti , Hyundai , Honda , and Volkswagen etc. have a good presence in this particular segment. Nissan, on the other hand, has never had a premium hatchback in its portfolio for India. There might be a possibility of Nissan changing this situation. We mean to say that the Nissan Note has been spotted testing in India. The Note is a sub-four metre hatchback from Nissan which could be introduced in India and rival the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno , Hyundai i20 , Honda Jazz and so on. The model that has been spotted testing is a 'Medalist' variant, which we are guessing, is the top-spec variant which gets a bunch on premium touches such as newly designed 15-inch alloys, cosmetic updates and newly designed fog lamps as well. The rear bumper has parking sensors along with the tail-gate getting a 'Medalist' badge. The Note gets a 1.2-litre petrol engine whi...

Top 10 rarest car

10. 1957 JAGUAR XKSS Robb Report One of the most sought out classic Jags, only 16 of the 1957 Jaguar XKSS were ever made. While the first on our list, due to the comparatively larger number of cars produced, this by no means indicates a lesser value or cost. These rare classic cars were first sold in the 50s and went for about $5,000. Now, of course, we know that today it is worth far more than its original price in 1957. As of 2014, the estimated value of the Jaguar XKSS owned by Steve McQueen’s is $30 million . So, while there may have been a larger amount made, it is possibly one of the most rare expensive cars as well for now. With recent news that Jaguar is producing  nine more XKSS’s  it is possible the estimated value of the XKSS might go down.  The story behind the making of the XKSS begins with the iconic Jaguar D-Type. Faced with a problem of what to do with the remaining 29 unsold D-Types back in the 50s, Jaguar went forward with the idea of transf...
