Yes, it's an old video, but let's compare… my production 2015 BMW i3 BEV is 2635 pounds with 184 lb/ft of torque and 170hp (or 180hp per dyno run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z24-jenc5yM).
Nissan is ahead of everyone when it comes to affordable electric cars. If they continue in this direction they can have a new golden era.
The regular is the worst car I think
Leaf owners stand up
NISS-AN Not NICEAN…. ahahaha AMERICANS
That Nissan leaf is
T H I C C
How much is it
Goddamn that's a sexy car
There's very little of the of the original road going Leaf in this race car. It's like comparing a Lotus Elise to a Toyota Auris. They both share the same power plant, but everything else is different.
This racing leaf's design looks better than the ugly leaf you see on the road
I should show my dad he has a 64 Reg nissan LEAF in the deep red the NISMO version would be good at the lights
Electric cars with actual technology is very very big mistake. Only right way is power source in car, no batteries. Nikola Tesla knews it. And one of big reason, why people like racing, is sound!!!
What is the techno smooth jazz song at 3:00?
Tesla has to get on this electric sports car/race car thing.
Put a 100kwh in it!
rip headphone users amirite guys
If they made the leaf look like this and added all the basic shit inside that makes it a regular car I would go for it
is it possible to buy one of these ?
2014?
Electric cars rock!!! You won't know until you try one. An electric race car puts awesome performance within reach of the average guy. Check my channel full charge motorsport
Too bad Tesla is the only one making electric cars that look pretty. Wtf at Nissan and Chevy! Ugly cars!
So basically, here's a fun car that will never see production ever but since it won't, go buy a leaf.
