The second
generation Nissan Leaf is one of the most successful EVs in the market. It’s no wonder that it has attracted a number
of tuners. Take this car by Kuhl Racing, for instance. By adding wider fenders,
new bumpers at both ends, different side skirts, a large roof-mounted spoiler
and a rear diffuser, the Japanese company has significantly transformed the
exterior of the electric hatchback.
Kuhl Racing has chosen a not-so-ordinary hue and aftermarket wheels with a
silver finish on the left side and a golden look on the right side. An
adjustable air suspension rounds up the package, turning this compact electric
car into a true low-rider.
Since no changes
regarding the electric powertrain are mentioned, we presume it remains stock.
In the standard model, it puts out 147 horsepower and 319 Nm of torque, while the Leaf e+ gets an upgraded electric
motor with 214 hp and 340 Nm.
None of them will
break any speed records, but at least they have decent acceleration. As for
driving range, the standard Leaf can travel for 241 km before it
runs out of juice, whereas the upgraded e+ goes on for 364 km on a
single charge, as per EPA’s estimates, thanks to its 62 kWh lithium-ion
battery.
