    Nissan Pulsar (Versa?) Nismo Concept at Paris Auto Show

    Top Gear has an article about the Nissan Pulsar (Versa?) Nismo at the Paris Auto Show. What caught my eye in relation to the Micra appears below:

    Same engine displacement as the Micra's. I wonder if Nissan could squeeze it into a Micra Nismo? Even if the engine doesn't come over, some styling cues may transfer to the Micra eventually.

    Looks like a Mazda3 fighter.

    I wonder if that's the same engine as the turbo Juke?

    Probably. It'd have to be uptuned further, though, as the Juke Nismo RS only makes 215 horsepower, at least in North America.

    Yeah, that is scary close to being a Mazda3!
