You have to love how Nissan has a habit of putting a sinister spin on the most innocent vehicles. The most recent example being The Juke-R By RML. The Carbon-Fiber-Happy Racing Leaf by Nismo Offers a 2,068lb curb weight which paired with the stock leaf 80Kw AC Synchronous Motor gives a 0-100Kmh of 6.85 Seconds instead of the factory 7.9 seconds. The other interesting modification is movement of the motor to achieve a RWD drive train. The vehicle is built with the dual intention of helping Nissan learn how to improve the drag coefficient of future vehicles and joining Fisker and Tesla in the coup de grace of the concept that electric vehicles are slow, limited, boring, glorified golf cart with power windows. By the way I love how easy it is to not mention names and imply something about the competition when there's only one other brand with an electric vehicle on the market.
