The recently concluded Nismo Festival became the perfect venue for the debut of the all-new Nissan LEAF Nismo RC.

The unveiling took place at Nissan Crossing in the city’s Ginza district in Tokyo, where it appears alongside with Nissan’s new Formula E electric race car.

The key component of the car is Intelligent Mobility vision, where it focuses on Nissan’s core: Intelligent Driving, Nissan Intelligent Power, and Nissan Intelligent Integration.

The dual electric motors, all-wheel drive and an aggressive, restyled body shape, demonstrates how Nissan’s electric vehicle technology can deliver exciting yet quiet, zero-emission power.

Packed with advanced battery technology and drivetrain components, the Nissan LEAF is considered as the world’s best-selling electric car.

The Japanese car brand plans to build six all-new LEAF Nismo RC vehicles to deploy across the globe, so that loyal fanatics can experience the power and excitement firsthand.

EV with all-wheel DRIVE

Powering the all-new Nissan LEAF Nismo RC are two electric motors at opposite ends of the chassis. The motors produce 240 kilowatts combined (120 kW each) and an astounding 640 Nm of instant torque to the wheels.

A new all-wheel-drive system gives the LEAF Nismo RC its outstanding cornering prowess. Power is managed independently to each axle, instantly supplying torque to the tire with the most grip to let the car maneuver quickly and efficiently around the track.

Ready to Race Styling

At first glimpse, it has a sporty more aggressive exterior. A long hood and Nissan’s signature V-motion grille highlight the totally restyled front end. The distinctive silver-and-black paint scheme with Nismo red accents—similar to the Nissan Formula E car—make the LEAF Nismo RC seem like it’s in constant motion, even when sitting still at the starting line.
