Nissan has released the first teaser for a new NISMO concept set to debut on January 9 at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2026. The image gives away very little, yet one thing is obvious at a glance: a massive rear wing and an RS badge hint at a particularly fierce character. Even in silhouette, the hardware speaks for itself, pointing to stronger track intent and a sharper focus on aerodynamics.The concept arrives as part of a broader plan to expand NISMO. The brand intends to grow its road-going lineup, taking the number of production NISMO models from the current five to ten, and to move into new markets. In parallel, Nissan targets roughly a 1.5x increase in annual NISMO sales by 2028 and aims to lift the export share from 40 to 60 percent.Official details remain under wraps, but the teaser suggests this is more than a styling exercise—potentially a preview of a new wave of production NISMO models. The RS designation is usually reserved for the most focused versions, which points either to a more powerful engine or to an updated electric platform tuned for performance. Either way, the message feels clear: the priority here is speed and precision.
