Nissan makes a hot hatch, will never let us have it.

This little gem popped up on my Facebook feed today. It is part of Nismos Mashup series and I reckon it's probably the closest to reality of happening. And if it doesn't we riot.

This is what happens when you cross a Versa Note with a 370Z. It retains the Versa body (obviously) but stuffs the 370Z's 3.7L V6 with a NISMO exhaust and upgraded suspension and brakes.

Personally I think the wing is a bit much but this is the hot hatch we deserve. Oh and it comes with the Rev matching 3 pedal out of the 370

Which brings me to the question..

WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS!

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VERSA NOTE TODAY.

Unfortunately this was not an option.

Just finished. I don't understand why I'm greyed out because I'm an author, but oh well. Btw, you can hate on the Versa twins all you want, I've heard it all at this point.

well then it's up to you to do the swap. I'm sure their are plenty of junked 370s in junk and tow yards

Definitely will be a simple job putting a RWD v6 drivetrain into a FWD econobox. I'll let you know when it's ready for "testing".
