Nissan`s B-segment sedan will soon be sportier than ever
During the SUPER GT raceday,Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn.Bhd.(ETCM) and Nissan Motorsports International Co.,Ltd.(Nismo) unveiled the Nissan Almera Nismo Performance Package concept car at the Sepang International Circuit.The Nismo boffins have worked their magic on the standard Almera to make the B-segment sedan look,feel and sound a lot sportier.
This new performance package features new front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts ,rear spoiler and 17-inch alloy wheels.Nissan`s tuning arm has also fitted the Nismo Almera with a Nismo Exhaust Muffler,which will provide the car with a sportier engine note to complement the aggressive styling.
According to the company,the aerodynamics of the performance package has been specifically optimised for the Almera.Coupled with a sports suspension,the aero pack enhances the handling characteristics of the standard car, allowing it to be more agile and an offer an improved dynamic driving experience.
From what we can gather,there is no performance boost.Besides the sports suspension,ETCM hasn`t divulged any information regarding upgraded internals,so this package is pretty much a cosmetic boost. Despite not being able to sample the interior,we managed to get a sneak peak.From what we noticed,the car was fitted with sports seats.Whether or not the Almera during the launch of this performance package is fitted with them is pure speculation right now.
According to ETCM, the Nissan Almera Nismo Performance package has been scheduled for launch in the fourth quarter of this year,so we will have to wait and see if the company adds anything more to the package`s list of enhancements.
