The Note Aura Nismo
Nissan has announced the launch of the Note Aura NISMO, sales of which are scheduled to start in Japan this autumn. The all-new Note Aura NISMO comes exclusively with Nissan’s e-POWER electrified powertrain.
What's Nismo About It?
The car's design is apparently inspired by a "swift electrified city racer" and Nissan has fitted a bunch of red accents you would expect to see on a Nismo-badged car. The car sits on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires and has slightly more aggressive bumpers as well as a chunky roof spoiler at the back.
The red touches continue inside where the Note Aura Nismo gets a pair of body-hugging Recaro front seats wrapped in fabric and synthetic leather.
A total of five body color variations are available, including four two-tone combinations.
That's One Way To Do EVs
The Note Aura Nismo is a range-extending EV. It is offered exclusively with a FWD setup by utilizing a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter gasoline engine serving as a generator to power a front-mounted electric motor and a small lithium-ion battery pack.
Can I Get Your Number?
Don't expect GTR Nismo numbers but yes the Note Aura Nismo packs around 134 horsepower & 300 Nm of torque.
Nissan says the styling tweaks bring real aerodynamic benefits and the car takes advantage of suspension upgrades and a stiffer body for sharper handling.
Pricing
Nissan is asking 2,869,900 yen for the Note Aura Nismo at home in Japan, which works out to about $26,200.
