If there is one thing we don’t like about electric sports cars (we emphasize ‘sports’) in general, it is the lack of engine sounds, you know, the banging thunder of a brawny V8 or the symphony of a finely tuned straight six. Sure EVs may be just as fast as any gasoline-powered model but when it comes to aural pleasure, you might as well be listening to your electric shaver…

Take a look at the following video of the Nissan Leaf Nismo RC racer, which was filmed during a test session, after the break and you’ll see what we mean. And if you disagree, feel free to voice your opinion in the comments section.

The purpose-built prototype seen in the video is being prepared for the “Le Mans Vers Le Futur”, a support event for the 79th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which takes place June 11-12. The Leaf Nismo RC will be joined by several other eco-friendly racecars at the demonstration runs including a specially modified Honda CR-Z Hybrid, more of which you can read about in our previous post here.
