Meet the "Super Leaf": Nissan's all-electric prototype ups the grunt with twin-motor setup

If you’re one of the people who thinks the Nissan Leaf is a little underdone on the performance front, the brand has just revealed the solution.

Dubbed the “Super Leaf” by Nissan staff, the “twin-motor all-wheel-control test car” marks the next step in Nissan’s EV journey. And happily, it’s a journey that will put the focus more on fun than frugality.

It doesn’t have a name yet, but it does have two motors, one at each axle, which combine to provide the kind of outputs that will have hearts beating just a little faster, along with sportier suspension and some clever high-tech driving aids designed to make you a better and faster driver.

While the leaf was all about eco-friendliness, this car is squarely focused on performance, with the brand promising acceleration, braking and dynamics “on par with a sports car”.
