The Leaf Nismo concept seen on the Tokyo show floor builds on the more appealing looks of the second generation Leaf which was revealed in September. The Nismo badged Leaf concept incorporates a racy body kit with red accents. The racy body kit includes aggressive front and rear bumpers along with bigger side skirts. The Nissan Leaf Nismo Concept also sports unique alloy wheels whose spokes look like tuning forks

DriveSpark Thinks!

The Nissan Leaf Nismo concept is a more aggressive take on Nissan's all-electric hatchback which itself shed its boring skin earlier this year for a more attractive design.

We hope Nismo does something similar to its alliance partner Renault, whose foray into electric hot hatches resulted in the Zoe E-Sport which pushed out 454bhp. Who knows, with a bootful of battery power (we expect Nissan to not go to Renault levels of crazy), it may just bother the Tesla Model 3 when it hits the streets.
