A Nissan Leaf and superbike aren’t exactly synonymous, that is unless…you’re talking about Derek Young’s creation. He started with a 2013 Nissan Leaf that had a seriously degraded battery, so what better way to fix the issue than by picking up a Kawasaki ZX-10R engine?

Sure, the Nissan Z may be popular with JDM enthusiasts, but it just doesn’t have the wow factor to win over the traditional crowd. Industrial designer Valentin Komkov’s Nissan 500SX Concept aims to change that.
Have $450,000, live in Japan, and want completely tuned R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R? If so, then look no further than this beauty by Built by Legends. Power comes from a MINE’S MB7 engine making 650hp, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
In case of emergency, you’ll want to be driving the Nissan X-Trail Mountain Rescue concept. Why? First off, its wheels have been replaced with snow tracks, providing extreme traction on slippery pistes, while the rear seats have been removed to allow the installation of a stretcher, as well as a seat for a medical professional.
Sleek and stylish, the Nissan Ariya NISMO EV is based on the automakers’ e-4ORCE platform and has a second electric motor at the rear axle for all-wheel-drive fun. B6, the base model, makes 362 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, connected to a 66.0-kWh battery pack.
