Japanese custom car projects are really tricky to find on the internet – apparently, broadband is uncommon there, so high-res photos don't make sense. Not that many are interesting anyway, but we're pretty sure you guys will agree there's never been a car quite like this one.
Apparently, this unique Nissan Leaf was presented at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2015, having recently been completed by a shop called Obayashi Factory, who've also put together a Rocket Bunny green Leaf recently. From bumper to bumper, it's a completely original car, with almost nothing left of the EV's original figure.
The makeover includes a new bumper with a more LED lights than a Christmas tree and strobe lights that blink and spin; apparently, this is a Bosozoku trademark, as is the lowered stance. There's also a widebody kit to admire and a set of very expensive Forgiato allow -wheels.
But the true stand-out feature are the scissor doors. Apparently, the Leaf has been fitted with Lambo doors before, but this is the first time reverse scissors were fitted on the back of the car. The interior has also been stuffed with more speakers than a J-Pop concert; because nothing ruins fuel consumption quite like a thumping sub.
In any case, you can check out the car in the photo gallery below and in the only video we could find, which seems to show two Japanese idols/race queens in Chinese dresses. According to the description, their names are Yasue Eyes and Sotsuki Nana, though Google may have gotten it wrong.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
