NISSAN REVEALS EV SPORT CONCEPT

It looks like a sports car, handles like a sports car and performs like one too. But ESFLOW is different to every other sports car yet built: it's electric. Using technology pioneered in the award-winning Nissan LEAF, the EV concept shows that driving can still be as much fun tomorrow as it is today.

At a glance:

• ESFLOW - a pure EV sports car concept

• Rear-wheel drive two-seater

• Two electric motors, each driving a rear wheel

• Laminated lithium-ion batteries mounted low for best weight distribution

• Dramatic styling with wraparound windscreen for unobstructed visibility

• 0-100km/h in under five seconds

• Over 240kms on one charge

Nissan has a reputation for creating some of the most exhilarating sports cars on the market. Nissan has also developed the world's first practical Zero Emission family car, the Nissan LEAF. Now Nissan has put that expertise together. It has captured the excitement of a sports car and the environmental benefits of an electric vehicle and blended them into one dramatic two-seater concept: ESFLOW.

The ESFLOW concept will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, 1st - 13th March
