Nissan Note get Nismo treatment

Ever since the release of the Juke Nismo in February 2013, the lineup of Nissan's specialty division, Nismo, has steadily grown to include the March Nismo, 370Z Nismo and GT-R Nismo. The expanded lineup has allowed Nismo to offer a broad range of road going cars to the public.

Adding to the collection is the Nissan Note Nismo, the sportiest iteration in the Note lineup and the fifth vehicle to be marketed under the revitalised Nismo production car banner. In order to satisfy a wide range of motoring enthusiasts, the Note Nismo will be offered in two grades, the standard model and the Note Nismo S.

The standard Note Nismo caters to customers who enjoy spirited driving, but who also regards fuel efficiency as an important motoring factor, while the main purpose of the Nismo S is to appease the pure high-performance needs of the sports driver.

Highlights of the Note Nismo include a high level performance with upgrades to several components including the power train, chassis, suspension and aerodynamic technologies from Nismo's experience in motorsports that offers high performance with flawless balance.

Aesthetically, the Nismo model is enhanced with Nismo Red in addition to a custom front grille, bumpers, roof spoiler and the Nismo Red electronic folding side mirrors. Occupants are greeted with custom sports seats, which are standard on the Note Nismo S and offered as a factory fitted option on the standard Note Nismo. Additionally, special Nismo Recaro sports bucket seats are offered as a factory option on the Note Nismo S.
