Nice; it looks more aerodynamic, and it's lost quite a bit of weight.

This prototype vehicle will debut at the upcoming New York Auto Show and will thereafter help Nissan research better aerodynamics and, presumably, slightly better energy efficiency.
They're not fooling anybody. Aerodynamics is a mature field. They could hire me as a consultant (I'm not expensive!) and I'd give them more than a few pointers about where the Leaf went wrong aerodynamically. But Nissan don't need my advice. There where plenty of skilled engineers already involved in the development of the Leaf.

I like the looks of the race version, two doors instead of four, whole car looks to be lower profile, less computer built in to every corner of the car, now if they would only produce a car like this only without the rear wing.
