It was inevitable, but that makes it no less exciting; Nissan"s electric car march is breeding performance cars, and the first could be this Leaf Nismo.We say could because it"s officially a concept. It"s been previewed in this image and will be shown in full at the Tokyo motor show in a couple of weeks. If Nissan gets a sufficiently positive response, the car will get made. You know what to do, then.And it looks production ready, doesn"t it? The interior is as per a standard Leaf, just with fancy red accents, and there"s not a 23in rim nor wing mirror camera to be seen. It"s as light as concept" treatment gets."We"ve been testing the market for some time," Nissan"s Europe president Paul Willcox told Top Gear. "We had RC Leaf and Bladeglider. But we"re trying to test the boundaries. We want to understand the acceptance from consumers. So if you think there"s a role for a performance electric vehicle then, I think we"ll go with it."The Nissan GT-R will get electric power too, don"t forget
