Nissan To Produce Leaf-Based Electric Sports Car
This could be tempting. Of the options mooted, I'd like to see them go for the Z!

Nissan To Produce Leaf-Based Electric Sports Car

I think the Z would make an excellent platform for this project.
A sports car based off of a Leaf? Somehow I get the feeling this car won't get out of it's own way.
This is the LEAF I want to drive:
Electric hot rod: Nissan turns a new Leaf into a racer
Yes, very cool. Too bad the current leaf doesn't look more like it.Originally Posted by benji4
Stick a LEAF in this to approximate the look
0-62
Hmm. It'll zip from standstill to 62 mph (equivalent to the 0 to 100 kilometers per hour that most countries use for timed acceleration) in 6.9 seconds, Nissan says.
That leaves a little too much snooze time for me.
First, a pic so we know what we're talking about. (I like how it looks)
Next, I'd like to know what the people behind this thing were thinking. I mean, why would you spend so much money building a "race" vehicle and then make it markedly slower than the Esflow "sports car" concept you just showed off a couple months ago. Dumb.
^ My thoughts too. Is the Esflow actually able to do those numbers or are they complete fantasy?
I bet what we will see with the Esflow, (if it is ever produced) is that the prototype is very cool, then the production model turns out to be completely different from the concept. Major automakers have been doing this for years, kind of a "bait and switch".
