    Saw a 192 plate Pulsar on Townsend St Dublin today. It was a very brief glance but noticed it had Nismo badging and dual exhaust, bodykit etc.

    Googled and understand Nissan had this as a concept and were going for fastest FWD lap time in Nurburgring and aiming this car as an alternative to usual suspects -GTI, Focus ST, Leon Cupraetc.

    Cant see this car officially launched though?

    Wondering if this was just bodykit or there is a "Hot" hatch model officially released. Normally up to date on cars but this could have complete passed me by?

    Wasnt mad on the styling, just curious

    They stopped selling the Pulsar in Europe earlier this year.

    Which confused me even more. It was a 192 plate. Nismo badge. Sounded the part. I'm not going mad Ted?

    There is a 1.6T Pulsar with a Nismo spec available. Not seen one though before.

    I know you mention dual tail pipes but could it be a Leaf Nismo?

    It definitely wasn’t a lowered Qashqai?

    Brother has one, moves quite nicely
    Did he import it? I've wondered would they be a nice discreet fast car on the cheaper end of the scale.

    Funny thing is the 1.5 diesel pulsar in the sportyer spec is a surprisingly good handling car.

    Very good handbrake and brakes in general.

    Basically a great fun car only let down by low power. Saying that you can drive it to bits and still get 45 mpg
