Nissan Debuts Aura NISMO RS Concept at Tokyo Auto Salon With e‑Power AWD

The hot hatch serves as an early testbed for a broader NISMO revival under the Re:Nissan plan.

Overview

  • Nissan says it is exploring a production version of the concept and evaluating possible racing applications.
  • The series‑hybrid setup pairs a 1.5‑liter power‑generation engine with 150 kW front and 100 kW rear electric motors using e‑4ORCE all‑wheel control.
  • Bodywork is widened by 145 mm and the ride height drops by 20 mm, with NISMO front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and a dedicated rear wing.
  • Hardware upgrades include four‑piston front and two‑piston rear opposed‑piston calipers, 18‑inch NISMO LM GT4 wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.
  • Media position the car as a credible step for NISMO’s return to hot hatches, with reported output above roughly 350 hp and curb weight near 1,490 kg not confirmed by Nissan.
