Nissan's Sentra Spec-V Unveiled at SEMA Suggests the Brand Still Prioritizes Sporty Performance in Small Cars
The concept is equipped with a 300-horsepower turbocharged engine, GT-R Nismo brakes, and racing elements added to the body.
Nissan introduced the Sentra Spec-V Concept ahead of this year's SEMA show. The project was created as a tribute to the Sentra SE-R owner community—35 years after the model's debut.
The engine received new connecting rods, pistons, 550cc injectors, and a Garrett G25-550 turbocharger. Power delivery is managed by an upgraded six-speed transmission and a helical limited-slip differential from the Nismo Juke RS. The suspension was reinforced with new front shock absorbers featuring remote reservoirs, stiffer springs, and stabilizer bars.
For the Sentra, a Bomex body kit was developed, including widened fenders, a redesigned bumper and grille, and a hood with ventilation ducts. The concept also features a GT-R Nismo rear wing, side exhaust pipes, 19-inch Nismo LM-RS1 forged wheels, and Advan Neova AD09 tires. The interior is fitted with GT-R Nismo Recaro front seats, a Nismo steering wheel, and a custom harness bar for seatbelts.
