 In an attempt to prove the Leaf EV can be a performance model, the Leaf Nismo will reportedly begin production this summer in Japan.



Love it or hate it, Nissan is a believer in its pure electric Leaf. Its rather stupid name aside, the Japanese automaker recently handed it off to its in-house performance division in order to turn it into something that could actually be appealing to enthusiasts. According to UK publication Autocar, Nismo chief Shoichi Miyatani confirmed that the Leaf Nismo would begin production this summer in Japan albeit in limited numbers.

For what it is, the Leaf is a decent looking vehicle. These changes make it a better looking car.

They should release this car in the U.S., but the fact they are only bringing it to the Japanese Domestic market leads me to believe that this version will carry a heft premium.
