    Why don't they just design the regular LEAF like this? It looks a hell of a lot better.

    That front bumper makes all the difference!

    Well, they have lowered it a centimeter or two...

    Now to find some more info about what they are doing.

    That's a pretty sweet machine. Evidence that electric cars don't have to be geeky-looking. Would look better though with a few cute race-queens standing alongside. Get your act together, JT!

    TopGear covered this car several weeks ago. Go to the TopGear site and search for Nismo Leaf RC if you want to see it in action. Pretty cool.

    Saw my first Leaf the other day - a real beauty! Now, if they could make one in the shape of a "kei van," I'd be all over it.

    I hope it's not a electric race car... I have nothing against electric cars, since they stay on STREETS and not on race tracks. Green tech will kill motorsports :(
