This week, Nissan pulled the cover off its latest electric race car in Tokyo. Called the Leaf NISMO RC, this second-generation track star has more than double the maximum power and torque of its predecessor, which originally debuted in 2011.Â

The first-gen model featured a single electric motor with 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, along with rear-wheel drive. The latest rendition now boasts a motor on both the front and rear axle for all-wheel drive capabilities to create 322 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque. Power is generated from a high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack mounted in the mid-ship position of the car.Â

According to the press release, the 2,690-lb carbon fiber monocoque racer is capable of hitting 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds, making it 50 percent faster than the previous car. The second-gen model Leaf Nismo RC is also slightly longer than the original and sports a Nissan V-motion grille up front. An adjustable rear wing can also customize the ideal downforce on the tarmac for the utmost in track performance.Â
