At the point when Nissan Motor Corporation's powertrain engineers found out about the venture, the Prototype 9 took a left turn. Rather than a period interior burning motor, they ran with a cutting edge electric powertrain. Truth be told, this powerplant presently can't seem to be utilized as a part of any Nissan or Infiniti auto. It comprises of a 30-kwh battery collaborated with a model electric engine that produces 148 pull and 236 pound-feet of torque. The power is sent to the back wheels by means of a solitary speed transmission.
