I've never been a big fan of the Micra's styling (then again I'm not a fan of many Kei cars to begin with) but HOT DAMN I BET THAT THING TEARS SHIT UP. I'm guessing Ghosn and company had a hand in this as their Renault Clio V6 follows the same formula. Take a FWD hatch/small car, remove the rear seats and fill the space with a motor that is larger, packs more cylinders, and is just plain more powerful than any other engine that motivates any of the "lesser" variants (although the FWD Clio 182 is quite a pocket rocket itself), and finally convert the sucker to RWD and BAM, instant mid-engined hot hatch.
