The Nissan Note Nismo Black Limited edition is the
latest in a long list of JDM models denied to the rest of the world. As the name suggests, it’s a
special edition treatment that can be applied to the Note e-Power Nismo, Note
e-Power Nismo S, and Note Nismo S. The package is designed to give the Note
Nismo an even sportier appearance courtesy of a black hood stripe, black roof,
as well as black exterior elements including the shark fin antenna, roof spoiler,
and side mirrors.
The Note Nismo Black Limited is only available with
two exterior colors: brilliant white pearl and dark metal grey. The Black
Limited pack also makes some popular options standard such as the LED
headlights, Intelligent Cruise Control (excluding Note Nismo S), and navigation
system preparation.
As this is strictly an appearance and equipment
package, the mechanical side of things remains unchanged. The Note e-Power
Nismo series hybrid delivers 109 hp and 253 Nm of torque
from a 1.2-liter gasoline three-cylinder generator that feeds a small 1.5-kWh
battery. The e-Power Nismo S version offers 134 HP and 320 Nm of torque from an upgraded version of the same hybrid powertrain.
As for the non-hybrid Note Nismo S, it packs a
1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine making 138 HP and 163 Nm of torque. Following its debut at the Tokyo Motor
Show later this month, the special edition model will go on sale across Japan
in November with a starting price of 2,682,900 yen (US$ 24,975) for
the Note Nismo S Black Limited.
