Nissan ZEOD RC brings zero-emission racing a step closer

Nissan's goal of taking electric vehicles to the racetrack took another leap forward last month with the public unveiling of the ZEOD RC in Japan. This breakthrough electric race car, which uses similar technology to the Nissan LEAF Nismo RC, was unveiled at Nissan's Nismo headquarters in Yokohama.

Back in February, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced the company's intention to race the 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours race using electric power. The original ZEOD RC prototype was first shown at this year's Le Mans race in June. The current version has been considerably improved with new cooling inlets, better aerodynamics and streamlined styling.
