Nissan Pulsar Nismo RS

[Sunglasses_Ron]

So I've been hearing a lot about the Nissan Pulsar Nismo RS.

Nissan are launching it at the Paris motor show but it's not going into production until at least next year.

I'm most probably going to be in the market for a new car in around 18 months and this is seriously getting my attention.

Looks f**king awesome imo.

It's a bit like a proper car version of the Juke. It's kinda cool looking but we need spec info!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

This is a direct lift from auto express-:

Our sources suggest the standard Pulsar Nismo S (shown in our exclusive images) will have in the region of 247bhp – placing it head-on with the Focus ST. But an RS should produce something more like 275bhp, taking it into Leon Cupra territory.

Of course, there’s more to performance than just power, so both versions will come with bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, lower ride heights and recalibrated steering and gearboxes than the standard Pulsar.

The RS model will take things further with a reinforced chassis and a limited-slip front differential. Less clear is which engine will provide the power. However, last November Nissan showed a Nismo concept version of the Sentra (a US-market saloon not sold in Europe), powered by a 240bhp 1.8-litre turbo. With some light tuning it could be the perfect candidate. Alternatively, Nissan could tune the Juke’s 1.6. The Peugeot RCZ-R proves that 270bhp is possible from a 1.6-litre turbo.

Very cool!

The normal Pulsar looks generic. Even the name Pulsar sounds like a hot hatch not a standard Focus competitor!

The original pulsar gti was a bit of an animal. I had a GT turbo at the time they were out. The pulsar was very underrated back then by my circle of friends.

 

[Jay.S]

That is pretty cool

 

[Mr Burns]

I really like that... It's about time Nissan stopped p*ssing about with the Juke and made something decent!

Yeah I totally agree! This has the potential to be a big seller if they get the spec right.

 

[DanielJames]

You get the feeling this is a proper Nissan car, not a Renault like the Juke and Qasqai or however its spelt.

Looking forward to it being on sale at the same time as the new Type R too.

 

[JamesBryan]

I'd own one. Looks really good, maybe have the wheels all black though.

 

[aucky]

Good looking thing!

 

[Ray Gin]

Lets hope the gearbox doesn't blow up every few months like the old Pulsar!

 

[Advikaz]

Like that.

Hope they stick a decent gearbox in it! & it has a bit of poke.

Nothing worse than being all wheels and no cannon.

 

[Addicted]

Looks pretty smart, though the Pulsar itself isn't getting the best of reviews, so would be interesting to see how much this differs .

 

[Advikaz]

100000000x's better looking than this abortion

 

[Ray Gin]

My poor eyes!!! ensive:

You can't polish a turd.

 

[Matt W]

Not bad!

Should be good fun.

 

[Jaff.]

ohh look a clio 200t with a bigger engine and more power

looks better too!

 

[cat171]

I like the back & front of it. Hate everything else in between.

 

[banther]

Looks good from the side.
Interiors a bit 'try hard'

 

[Matt W]

Favourite seats!

Looks like they've learned from renault and used leather on the bolsters to stop them wearing out.

 

[daydotz]

I like shame it won't be arriving in the uk [emoji53]

Really? Who says?

 

[Jaff.]

can somebody please confirm that this is just a clio with a bigger engine and a few diffrent body panels?!?!

£10 says those recaros fit straight into a clio and it will be the "choice mod" in the future unless renault offer it in a facelift

 

[JackJack]

Looks really cool

 

[-J-]

Really? Who says?

No one... Yet.

Hoping it gets put on the Company Car List... That said I'm happy with my current Nismo, may chop it in for the new RS if it's available in Jan 15 when I have to change.

That's good to hear! And from the horses mouth so to speak

 

[MaLicE]

All I can say is it better have the umbrella in the door!

 

[daydotz]

It's focus sized nothing is definite about them even making it

My wires were crossed it's the note nismo that won't be coming to the uk

 

[Paul.M]

That looks fantastic.
If it is anything like the specs make out it could be serious competition to the other hot hatches out there.

 

[Ian_182]

I don't really like the look of it tbh,

Love everything about it.

Ideal spec, there will be 2.
1. 1.6t 230bhp FWD GTi.
2. 1.6t 300bhp 4x4 GTi-R.

Would be bloody awesome.

 

[lemonnobby]

I'm liking that alot. Looks better than having a 265 with only 3 door. I like my 5 door 225.

 

[celicaturbolly]

The pics I saw the other week it had the old skool style bonnet scoop?

 

[Chris V6 255]

Really liking the look of these! Will be an ideal car for the wife in a couple of years.

 

[Adam93]

Looks fantastic.

 

[Daz.]

Yep I could have one of those me thinks...
