Leaf-based EV sports car coming?

That is what I'm counting on

Are they planning to add external speaker so that car would make sound of a real sports car when you accelerate 0-60? :lol:

That's what I'm thinking, as well. At least I hope there is something electric and sporty by 2014, whether it's from Nissan/Infiniti or someone else.

You won't need or want it. The electric motor screams like a jet fighter when its pushed to the limit.

Renault DeZir to be the basis of the Nissan EV sports car?

Oh my...that would make for a sweet Nissan sports EV....

Price it at 40k and I would pass on a LEAF and get that.

Nice.

EV version of the GT-R rather than a 370Z?
