日产在最近举行的“日产未来”发布会上公布了聆风Nismo概念车图片，该车将在东京车展进行展示。日产还发布了这款车的一些细节。从图片看，该车的车身进行了改款，主要的不同是车身红色装饰替代了蓝色装饰，引擎盖带有硕大黑色装饰条，车身造型扔很保守。据日产介绍，新的车身气动布局有助于抵抗车身抬升，同时看起来更具运动和侵略性。与车身搭配的是运动风格的内装，包括红黑涂装装饰件和红色缝线。座椅也更具支撑性，比标准版支撑力度更大，对于车迷是完美的选择。带装饰条和麂皮装饰的平底方向盘也提升了内装的运动风格。当然，作为一款Nismo车型，最重要的是机械结构升级，该车悬挂获得升级，操控性更优异，轮胎的抓地性也获得提升。动力总成电脑也获得重新调校，“可在任何速度提供瞬间加速性”。日产并未透露该车任何规格以及车辆动力系统功率。预计重新调校的电脑只是提升了油门反应。虽然聆风Nismo被称为概念车，但它的改变很细微，更接近量产车。如果该车不投产将会令人感到意外，预计该车将搭载取自e-Plus车型的电机和电池组，功率将超过标准版的147马力，续航里程将达到225英里（约合362公里）。
Nissan Leaf Nismo concept brings better handling and aerodynamics
At Nissan's "Nissan Futures" event, the company revealed a quick photo of the Leaf Nismo Concept that would be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show. Now the company has finally released official photos of the sporty Leaf, along with some details about what has changed. It sounds fairly promising.
Obviously the bodywork has been tweaked. The main differences were red accents instead of blue, a big black stripe on the hood, and actually more conservative bodywork. According to Nissan, the new bodywork does help fight lift. It also looks suitably sporty and aggressive without being over-the-top.
The exterior is matched by a sportier interior. It's finished in black with red-painted accents and red stitching throughout. The seats appear to be more bolstered and supportive than the standard units, perfect for enthusiastic driving. It also gets a flat-bottom steering wheel with a center stripe and some suede accents.
But the most important parts for creating a Nismo model are the mechanical ones. For the Leaf Nismo, Nissan upgraded the suspension for better handling, and added grippier tires. The powertrain computer has also been recalibrated and "delivers instant acceleration at all speeds." Nissan hasn't given any specifications as to how much power the Nismo's motor produces. We suspect that the retuned computer just improves throttle response.
The Leaf Nismo is officially called a concept, however the changes appear quite mild and production friendly. As a result, we would be surprised if it didn't reach production. We also would expect the Nismo to use the motor and battery pack from the upcoming "e-Plus" model which will have more power than the 147-horsepower standard model, and should deliver a range of about 225 miles.
