| Nissan Sentra Nismo
Nissan Sentra Nismo, 2013 Los Angels Auto Show
In quick succession, NISMO has expanded its lineup from the sole 370Z NISMO to include a handful of new offerings such as the Juke NISMO, Juke NISMO RS and the GT-R NISMO. But the official tuner to Nissan has much more on the drawing board and at the Los Angeles Auto Show today it’s providing a taste of what’s in store.
NISMO has given a clear signal that its next model will be based on the humble Sentra by unveiling a striking Sentra NISMO concept in L.A. Before you smirk, just take a look at some of the concept’s specs. Among the Sentra NISMO concept's many departures from the stock Sentra are its race-inspired exterior with enhanced aerodynamic performance, a NISMO-tuned chassis and an Alcantara-lined interior.
The real highlight is the drivetrain, which consists of a direct-injected and turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder sending 240 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. That’s quite the leap on the stock Sentra’s 130 horsepower.
The stock model's independent strut front and torsion beam rear suspension also receive the NISMO tuning treatment, complete with custom performance shocks and springs. Also fitted are a set of 19-inch RAYS aluminum wheels shod with 225/35 Michelin Super Sport tires. Inside these sit red-painted Brembo brake calipers borrowed from the 370Z.
The exterior also features a deep front fascia with lower LED lights and wide lower grille that match the stock Sentra's standard LED daytime running rights and upper grille. Moving rearward, pumped fenders and sporty side sills lead to an aggressive rear diffuser that echoes the design of the one on the 370Z. The lights have all been given a smoked look, too.
Inside, NISMO enhancements include Recaro bucket seats up front, Alcantara trim, a sports steering wheel and a satin carbon fiber finish for many of the dash elements. Both the engine start button and tachometer include iconic NISMO anodized red rings.      |

Like any other sentra, I predict the resale value in 8 years will be pitiful

This looks nice but it still doesn't take away the fact that Nismo is practically dead.

If this is priced competitively with the Focus ST, I will buy it.

The wait is almost over | Not sure how people are already saying this is better than the Focus ST when no one's even driven it. Most of the appeal of the Focus ST is in the off-paper driving dynamics but I guess you bench racers are gonna bench race. Not to mention the extra power and hatchback practicality.
Don't get me wrong, I think this Sentra looks great and I really love how everything is well tied together especially on the inside. I just think it's WAAAYYYY too soon to judge.
New Speed 3, Civic type R, GTI Mk7, and WRX to look forward to as well, although we might not get the Civic.

Wow....was expecting it to look far worse.
This is pretty clean looking. Still a little plain, but looks good.

The car as a whole looks pretty good, and I'm especially enamored by those seats.
