Note e-POWER NISMO Brilliant White Pearl

Since the release of the Juke Nismo in February 2013, the lineup of Nissan’s specialty division, Nismo, has been consistently expanding with the addition of the March NISMO, Fairlady Z NISMO and the venerable Nissan GT-R NISMO, thus allowing the company’s performance division to offer a broad range of road-going cars to the public - from compacts to SUVs to sports cars - all armed with the sporty DNA derived from NISMO’s motorsports activities.

The new Note e-POWER NISMO, based on the Note e-POWER mass-production model launched in November is tuned specifically for NISMO in order to offer NISMO models not only to hardcore motorsports fans and sports driving enthusiasts but also to a wider range of car lovers. Furthermore, the Note NISMO and the Note NISMO S now come with improved specifications featuring new interior and exterior design. Safety features, such as Intelligent Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Warning (LDW), are also installed in the Note NISMO.

Maximizing the characteristics of the e-POWER’s motor drive system by NISMO tuning, the Note e-POWER NISMO, featuring new advanced driving feel, exhilarating acceleration performance and great quietness, is targeted to customers who want to experience new NISMO.  

With custom structural enhancements and the adoption of custom suspension with carefully selected springs, high-quality driving and sportiness are optimally balanced, delivering one-class-above ride comfort and handling stability. In addition, custom tuning computer (VCM) utilizing the e-POWER’s characteristics of being powered by electricity, which produces highly responsive acceleration feel in any situation, offers joy of driving NISMO cars. In normal and S modes, acceleration response and regenerative power unique to the Note e-POWER NISMO allow drivers to enjoy exhilarating driving from everyday situations to winding roads.

The Note NISMO with improved specifications meet the needs of customers who want to express him/herself with stylish, sophisticated sporty design while the Note NISMO S with enhanced features satisfies customers who like sports driving and want to get performance that NISMO gained in motorsports.   

With the new Garnet Red (CP) <#NBF> (special color) added to existing exterior colors, the Note NISMO series is now available in five colors.
