Nissan Leaf hot hatch review: Twin-engine electric car tested

Electric car skeptics might be tired of hearing about the slingshot acceleration of battery-powered vehicles – once the wick has been turned up – but here’s a statistic that might put things into perspective. This Nissan Leaf all-wheel-drive prototype has more torque than a Nissan GT-R supercar. For the technically-minded, that’s 680Nm versus 632Nm. And before the keyboard warriors get clicking, yes we know the GT-R trounces the Frankenstein Nissan Leaf for power (419kW versus 227kW).
