Paris 2014: Nissan Pulsar NISMO Debuts
The Nissan Pulsar NISMO made its debut at the 2014 Paris Auto Show Thursday, but it’ll never turn up in North American showrooms.
The mad scientists of Nissan’s performance division gave the Pulsar a full makeover with double-layered side skirts, redesigned front bumper with larger air intakes, a rear diffuser, center exhaust et al, all riding on 19-inch wheels with a lowered suspension aimed at the track.
Speaking of the track, though no word on what would power the hot hatch has been stated by either party, a likely candidate would be a 1.6-liter turbo-four delivering 200 horsepower. There’s also no word on whether the concept will go into production.

I think it's a great alternative to the Mazda 3 hatch (which I think looks awesome). It's a real shame it doesn't come here... although maybe Nissan can do what Honda does and at least give this to us as a Canada-only model.
Not weird enough to wear the Pulsar badge. Where dat EXA Canopy be at!?
