About twenty years ago, Nissan did something that created a stir in the world of cars. Yes, we are talking about the Nissan Micra 350SR. This mid-engine hot hatch used to blow everyone's mind with the power of its V6. Now in 2025, Nissan has brought this legend back to life. When I saw its pictures, I just thought - this is a modern makeover of an old racing vehicle. Its return gave a shock to car enthusiasts.
This story began in 2003. Nissan UK introduced the Micra R to the world. Well, this vehicle was first made for the track but it was also made roadworthy. RML designed it and initially it had a 2.0-liter touring car engine. Then in 2005 came the real fun - the 350Z's 3.5-liter V6 engine. It gave 310 horsepower. So much power in a small Micra? Man, this was the magic of engineering. The mid-engine and rear-wheel drive made it even more fun to drive.
Now in 2025, Nissan has introduced the Micra 350SR in a new look. Say goodbye to the previous red theme. Now it comes in a liquid silver finish. The blue shine makes it even cooler. To be honest, if it runs on the roads of Delhi, people will just keep staring. Have you ever seen such a stylish Micra? Nissan upgraded everything inside and outside so that it can compete with today's cars.
The heart of this car is its 3.5-liter V6 engine. It still gives around 300 horsepower. The engine has been taken from the Murano crossover and fitted in the middle of the car. This balances the weight so well that the car dances on the track. With rear-wheel drive and upgraded suspension-brakes, it performs like a rockstar in fast corners. The fun to drive? It gives the feel of an old racing car.
