Nissan hasn’t constructed a game compact efficiency variant of its venerable Sentra sedan because the sixth-generation fashion went out of manufacturing in 2012. And it’s a rattling disgrace, too, since the Sentra SE-R was once a fairly reasonably priced technique to inject some efficiency into your another way accountable grownup existence. Nissan simply unveiled its most fun Sentra in years, a NISMO idea for the SEMA display subsequent week, and it’s an actual ripper. It’s now not to be had on the market, however come on Nissan, it might be!

Does it have a stick? You guess your ass it has a stick! After all you’ll’t these days order a Sentra with a stick from Nissan (until you’re Canadian), nevertheless it’s SEMA, the rest is imaginable when you dream onerous sufficient. This system permits you to three-pedal dance with a turbocharged jig, because the engine now sports activities an enormous Garrett turbocharger and a host of additional energy. Nissan doesn’t give any energy figures or a lot details about the automobile, actually. It appears amusing, regardless that.

To beef up the G25 turbocharger, the automobile is handled to lower-compression Manley pistons and Eagle rods, a collection of Bosch secondary injectors, a Garrett intercooler, and Motec stand by myself engine control. The exhaust is a NISMO cat-back, and with a bit of luck sounds excellent. The transmission includes a light-weight flywheel and game snatch, plus a Quaife restricted slip differential to care for the ability and stay the revs up.

The suspension is a collection of NISMO coilovers and sway bars, to be had to your Sentra at this time. The wheels had been swapped for a collection of NISMO-branded six-spokes, black on one aspect and bronze at the different, wrapped in Yoko Advan Neova tires. At the back of the ones wheels are a complete set of Nissan Z calipers and rotors, which is lovely rad parts-binning.

Whilst the garish NISMO wrap is rarely my taste, I love the entirety else about this automotive, and hope it portends a long run full of sporty Nissans. In my view, I’d love to peer this now not simplest constructed and introduced to the general public, however to be joined through a Versa SE-R as smartly. I’ll most likely must stay dreaming on that one. My desires are even too bizarre for SEMA and Las Vegas.
