With CES 2019 kicking off on January 8, 2019, in Las Vegas, automotive watchers are starting to chatter about what consumer technologies and innovations will be unveiled at the show. Nissan is playing into the buzz with their latest “See the Invisible†campaign. According to a press release, the automaker is planning a display that demonstrates the future of driving and the electrifying potential of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which is the company's vision for moving people to a better world.

CES will also see the US debut of Nissan's Leaf Nismo RC race car concept. Based on the second-generation of the EV, the Nismo RC has an electric motor on each axle, providing a powerful 322 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque. Due to its lighter chassis made from carbon fiber, the Leaf can hit speeds of 62 mph in only 3.4 seconds. Incredible!

Industry insiders are also speculating that Nissan will debut a new vehicle introduction at CES 2019, which some are saying will be the longer-range variant of the Nissan Leaf. The automaker hasn’t confirmed this report, but it is believed that the EV will be powered by a bigger, more powerful 60-kWh battery, which will extend the Leaf’s range from 150 miles to somewhere in the 200-mile range.
