Overview

• Nissan is collaborating with its Formula E division on plans to build limited-run Nismo EV prototypes that leverage next-generation dual-motor all-wheel-drive systems.
• Discussions remain at the proposal stage and no formal partnership or production decision has been finalized.
• Gen4 regulations for the 2026-27 Formula E season will unlock roughly 800 hp and AWD capability, technologies Nissan aims to validate on the road.
• Initial test cars would use standard Nismo chassis to assess race-bred powertrains and refine electric traction management.
• CEO Ivan Espinosa envisions four to five halo EV sports models as part of a broader strategy to rejuvenate Nissan’s performance image.
