During the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan unveiled a
NISMO-tuned Leaf EV, wearing a bulbous aero kit that didn't really scream
"sporty".
Since the Leaf is technically a compact hatchback,
the best it can hope for when it comes to aesthetics is to look more or less
like a hot hatch, which for all intents and purposes, this second-generation
Leaf NISMO Concept does.
Making its public debut in Tokyo, the
new Leaf NISMO Concept is nothing if not more aggressive. The sporty bumpers,
side skirts, rear diffuser and red accents definitely help with that. These
upgrades are only meant to enhance the car's aerodynamic performance, while the
red accents, contrast stitching and sporty steering wheel improve the overall look
of the cabin.
The new Leaf NISMO Concept also
features special software that delivers instant acceleration at all speeds. Add
the sport-tuned suspension and high-performance tires and voilà , the most fun
Leaf ever built.
