Well, that would be easier to arrange. Simply downsize the battery pack to be just large enough to deliver the current requirement for the run. No need for a 500km range if you only have to be able to do 3/4 of a lap slowly and 1/4 of a lap at full (?)noise(?).

The Leaf Nismo RC-sourced 62-kWh battery means this car is around 815 pounds heavier than a stock R32 GT-R.

Oof.

Could be worse I guess. I suppose they haven't put any effort into ally suspension parts or CF panels, seats, etc. So they could probably pull about half of that back out of the car. Not like a bunch of other EVs that already have CF everything and roll the scales at ~2t.

😜 hopefully we get this instead of a new R36 GTR due to recent financial problems at Nissan. Nismo to sell a complete kit with RB26 and driveline. All starts making sense (ok maybe not) once the Nissan Leaf's (Leaves?) with stuffed EV motors/batteries hit the market cheap
