Nissanâ€™s performance brandâ€”â€œNISMO,â€ the shortened form of "NISsan MOtorsportsâ€â€”has carried the banner for performance cars in the global space for six decades. And now, the company is primed to celebrate the full sixty years of its dominance during their 21st-annual fan appreciation event to be held in Japan on Dec. 2.

The 2018 NISMO Festival will feature a grand total of more than 50 performance cars that have competed both locally in Japan and worldwide since Nissanâ€™s class victory at the 1958 Australian Rally. Featured machines include rally cars from the 1950s through the 1980s; 1990s prototype machines; and modern-day GT cars.

The icing on the cake? The 2018 NISMO Festival will provide the public with its first opportunity to witness the Formula E car in action on the track. Itâ€™s an all-electric vehicle courtesy of Nissan Intelligent Mobility that will see its first competitive action weeks after its festival debut in a race in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
