Nissan promises us the new Leaf Nismo RC shares a few parts with the ordinary, road-going Leaf. The lithium-ion battery and power inverters, for example, it says are exactly the same components it uses in the standard car. But we suspect that"s where the part-sharing ends because, well, just look at this thing A follow up to the Leaf Nismo RC of 2011, which also borrowed tech from the normal Leaf, this new one is a graphic illustration of how far EV tech has come in the last seven years. Like the 2011 car, it"s an exercise in seeing how far Nissan can push its commercially-available tech, which means it"s still not and was never going to be the quickest EV in the world.
