Brace Yourselves: The Nissan Pulsar NISMO is Coming (Probably)
Back in May when Nissan announced the Pulsar for Europe, we mused that they might be well served to create a NISMO model that plugs in a turbocharged four-cylinder that cranks out 200-or-more horsepower (adding, of course, that they should seriously consider bringing such a little badass to the States).
