Nismo Mashes Up Vehicles To Create Concepts

Nismo deserves some creativity credibility on the following pictures above, and we wish they weren’t just concept cars. Just recently, to shake things up,Nismo decided to mash up vehicles to create concepts, and the creations are pretty interesting. Nismo even asked fans to get crazy and put their own pieces together to create a mashup vehicle.

Rewind back to February when Nissan made a strange combination, the GT-R-Leaf. This by far wasn’t the most attractive combination, but the Nissan Sentra 370Z and Maxima GT-R actually look like something that could be created.

Nismo drivers and designers are more than just creativity but the thrill of power, agility, and technology. Together they combine these elements to make some of the most impressive and advanced vehicles on the market. For thirty years now, Nismo has based their beliefs on the following statements, “We believe in power-but it must have purpose. We believe in agility-but it must be refined. And we believe in technology-because we must always be moving forward.”

Nissan’s motorsport division has been getting gutsy lately, and we’re curious to see where things are headed. Previously, they would only release one, maybe two models at a time and we wonder what would happen if Nissan ever let the Nismo division design and release its own vehicles. (Not likely to happen any time soon…or ever.)

As of right now, there are Nismo versions of the following vehicles, the GT-R, 370Z, Juke, Versa Note, and Sentra. Sports cars we so much could have suspected but now they’re extending their reach to the SUV and sedan segment. So when you run out of vehicles to fine-tune and make as sporty as possible, what are you supposed to do? Mash them up and make your own, and that is exactly what Nismo has done, and is inviting you to do on their Facebook page.
