A LEAF-powered rear-drive electric sports coupe
The Esflow was a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive electric sports coupe designed from the ground up as an EV, showing that battery cars could still be fun to drive. Its lightweight aluminium chassis and composite body wrapped a LEAF-derived powertrain, with an electric motor dedicated to each rear wheel and a laminated lithium-ion battery pack positioned low for optimal weight distribution. The seats were sculpted into the rear bulkhead while the pedals and fly-by-wire steering adjusted to the driver.
