Nissan has certainly put the spark into electric vehicles following the debut of the sleek ESFLOW Concept in Geneva. The ESFLOW is an all-electric sports car that borrows styling cues from the Z sports car and melds it with the electric powertrain found within the Leaf EV.
Visually, the ESFLOW borrows very little from the Leaf passenger car. But, the powertrain unit, which employs the same technologies installed in the Nissan LEAF, is tuned to offer a sporty driving experience.
The two-seat ESFLOW is a rear-wheel drive model that has two electric motors driving each of the rear wheels. Nissan promises that this setup is capable of producing a 0-60 mph time of around five seconds.
If you ask Nissan, owning an ecologically sound car doesn't have to come at the expense of driving enjoyment. The ESFLOW concept certainly proves that premise, but the question is: will this stunning vehicle make it into production? Nissan's Francois Bancon attempted to answer that question.
“We have to decide what Nissan is going to do in the future on zero emissions. Do we go with a spicy sportscar like the ESFLOW, or do we go with something more compact and affordable? It’s under discussion.”
