Kinda like the intro to a good Nissan joke; "So a Leaf, a GT-R and an Altima walk into a bar ... ".

I wonder how much more competitive the LEAF RC would be if it had double the battery and 2-3x the motor power...
 
I think that they should attempt another challenge like this later this year after Le Mans w/ the ZEOD running on just its batteries. It might be able to run equal to the GT-R. (<-- IDK, that just might be wishful thinking on my part).

GT-R driver was clearly sand-bagging. Was probably trying to get that photo-finish at the end.
 
I couldn't find the range of the nismo RC. Does anyone have an educated guess of what it might be?

Here are somethings to keep in mind:

1. It has the same drivetrain as a normal Leaf, but it's 40% lighter.

2. 0-62 when from 10 to 6.9, about 30% better.
