Nissan is upping the ante with their concept for the LEAF NISMO, a supercharged version of the all-electric vehicle that aims to thrill driving enthusiasts everywhere.

Revealed at Tokyo Motor Show 2017, details are still a bit light, but weâ€™ve been able to glean some intriguing likely specs from the carâ€™s appearance and Nissanâ€™s official release. Tentatively slated for the 2019 model year with a delivery as early as fall 2018, this new LEAF will incorporate NISMO racing tech into its black, white and red body for greater aerodynamics and decreased lift. High-performance Continental summer tires will also be featured on the exterior.Â

The interior, which will boast aggressive red accents, brings its own technology aimed at making this a race-worthy EV. A new sport-tuned suspension distinguishes it from the regular 2018 LEAF, as does a specially-calibrated computer that aims to make instant acceleration at any speed a reality. Further, it seems likely that both a punchier motor and more advanced battery are in the works, the latter of which may provide approx. 60 kWh and a 225-mile range.
