Nissan’s new production model, shelved for release and sale in Europe in 2013, has just been announced at the Le Mans warm-up party.
And as the Le Mans weekend rolls around, this car is going to have it’s work cut out for it as it’s sharing the stadium with the quirky Deltawing and the feisty Juke R.
Since they helped invent the compact crossover segment in 2010, Nissan’s new Nismo feels quite at home extending the Japanese manufacturers range to include an enhanced tuned-up version of its 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged petrol engine, inspired by the one installed in Nissan’s revolutionary DeltaWing Le Mans race car.
Throw in some stiffened suspension settings and new steering modifications for sportier direct handling and improved traction control, and you’ve got some potent potential.
What else has Nismo, the sports arm of Nissan done lately? How about inventing the world’s first all-electric racing car which made the first run in front of the public at last year’s Le Mans 24h event? Decent!
