In February, CEO Carlos Ghosn announced Nissan would return to Le Mans - the world’s oldest sports car endurance race - in 2014 with an entry in Garage 56, a slot reserved for experimental vehicles pioneering new technology.

On Friday June 21 at 10:30 am, Nissan will reveal its 2014 Garage 56 entry - an all-new race car incorporating electric technology.

It has already been called the future of motor racing. The Nissan LEAF Nismo RC – all-electric, zero emission, all the performance.

Owners of the Nissan LEAF, invited to Japan to celebrate the second anniversary of the day the innovative car went on sale, experienced laps in the racing car at the GranDrive test track.
