VIDEO: An INSIDE Look Into The Nissan Leaf NISMO RC

Regardless of what one may say about electric cars, one of the cooler cars that caught my eye at the 2011 New York Auto Show was the Nissan Leaf NISMO RC. Maybe because it was the first Leaf that looked cool, in my eyes.

While the Leaf Concept may not be the fastest thing on four wheels, it gives us an early idea about what may exist in the world of racing if it goes electric. That may lead to the fastest races ever since the Leaf can only run for approximately 20 minutes when it is operating as full tilt, according to Nissan.
