Factory automotive tuning is big business these days. Why bother going to a random Japanese customizer to get a body kit if you can get a warranty and better build quality from the guys who built the car.
Nissan is taking such a step down its rad with the expansion of the Nismo range, which will become a sort of in-hose tuner. The company currently offers suspension upgrades and a small power boost for the 370Z through its Nismo program, but in the future it wants to give us a Nismo RS range with beefier engine upgrades.
This program is going to start with the Juke Nismo, which was recently show at the Le Mans 24 Hours and should be available next year. Autoexpress says it believes this will have around 215 horsepower coming from its 1.6 turbocharged engine, but there might also be a more hardcore 270 hp version in the form of a Juke Nismo RS.
To follow that up, the Leaf EV will also get a body kit which was previewed by the Nismo RC race car. Topping this off will be new customization options for the GT-R and potentially also an RS version of this.
