If it's one gear forward with a top speed of 92, will the Leaf do 92 in reverse? Just a funny thought but I'm sure electronic nanny's prevent this. I'm looking for new records to break. Wonder how it would do in Friday eliminations? No spin, just push and hold. No wavering performance to tiny fluctuations in weather. With such consistency and one's excellent reaction time, maybe this could be a street eliminator. Wonder what the 0-60 foot time is? It seems to pull hard from a stop. There is no Ferrari or Merc automatic that shifts faster (Ha ha). I hear reports of 9.2 seconds 0-60 mph and just over 17 seconds for the 1/4 mile, very slow. I'll report back in Spring.
Anyone know the reverse speed of the Leaf?

There is a limiter on reverse. I think it's 25mph, but it's been a long time since it's been discussed.

Found links to 25mph on KJUG and Fox news. Not posting the link because I find both objectionable.

There was also discussion of Nissan modding a car without the limiter for a "reverse" record.
...and here's some links:

I have personally tested my Leaf in reverse with full accelerator and it limited itself to 25 mph by the dashboard display.
Car and Driver took this one on.

Forget the speed. I demand an ECO mode in Reverse

Fast enough for a good J-turn. That's all that mattered to me!mkjayakumar said:Forget the speed. I demand an ECO mode in Reverse
