Nissan brings array of electric models to Japanese Classic Car Show

For the 2017 edition of the annual Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS), Nissan brought out some things old, some things new and some things that blew the doors off the competition. As always, Nissan had one of the largest and most diverse selections of Datsun and Nissan vehicles on display at its booth during the 13^th running of the JCCS, which took place on Saturday, 23^rd September in the Harry Bridge's Memorial Park at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, U.S.A.

While the JCCS is 'dedicated to Old School Japanese Cars', Nissan took the opportunity to share a pair of new 2018 models. The all new Nissan Leaf is the latest and most advanced electric vehicle in the company's long history of battery powered vehicles, which traces back 70 years to the Tama EV1. The 2018 Leaf, which made its global debut earlier this month, goes on sale in the U.S.A in early 2018.

The new Leaf features a 241km driving range, aerodynamic exterior, a roomy high-tech interior and advanced technologies, including ProPILOT Assist and e-Pedal. It is the first step in the relaunch of Nissan's EV platform and will be followed in model year 2019 with a high-power version with increased motor power and battery capacity. Three other historic Nissan EVs joined the new Leaf - the 1999 Hypermini EV, the 2002 Altra EV and the 2011 Pikes Peak Leaf, the first ever winner of the Pikes Peak Electric Production Class.
