1987 Nissan Sunny Pickup Debuts At SEMA With Leaf Power via insideevs.com
This very cool looking Leaf-swapped 1987 Nissan Sunny pickup is one of the official Nissan concepts shown at the 2022 SEMA show in Las Vegas. It was built for Nissan by Tommy Pike Customs and it looks far sportier than the original truck, with its big front apron, oversized wheels and lowered stance., but curiously it’s not the more powerful 215 horsepower unit. They opted instead to use the 147 horsepower motor with 240 lb-ft of torque, which pushed the Leaf to sixty in around 7.5 seconds.
Powering this concept is the Leaf’s 40 kWh battery pack with a usable capacity of 36 kWh. Nissan probably isn’t planning to do anything especially dynamic with this vehicle, given that it wasn’t given an excessive amount of power and a complete reengineering job, like Ford did with the latest SuperVan.Surfwagon, which is a very bold blend of vintage and cutting edge - it's a woodie.
