Nissan Almera Nismo Performance Concept in Malaysia
Nissan has quietly unveiled the Almera Nismo Performance Package concept at the Japan Super GT International Series in Sepang, Malaysia on the 16th June 2013.
Apart from this, the new Nissan Juke Nismo was also on display next to the Almera here. However, there was no price of info about the smart-looking vehicle.
Designed to preview a production model that will be introduced later this year, the Almera concept features an aerodynamic body kit with a front lip spoiler, revised side skirts, a rear diffuser and a trunk-mounted spoiler.
The car is also equipped with a sports suspension, a Nismo exhaust and 17-inch alloy wheels. Despite being aimed at enthusiasts, the model is reportedly powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that develops 102 HP (75 kW) and 139 Nm (102 lb-ft) of torque.
The price in Ringgit Malaysia was seen set at about RM79,000 without insurance. So speculation is that it will cost about RM85k-90k on-the-road when launched here in Malaysia.
While the model might not get your heart racing Nismo President Shoichi Miyatani said: “We are glad to have our Nismo brand in Nissan’s mainstream models as it offers something special in terms of advanced motorsports technology, dynamic performance capabilities, and distinctively sporty design that is embodied in Nismo, Nissan’s motorsports, performance and personalization brand.”
Nissan fans are now patiently awaiting more news of the Nissan Almera Nismo Performance Concept car here in Malaysia.
