Nissan will debut three custom vehicles at next year’s SEMA event, featuring the Sentra Spec-V concept as one of its highlights. Under the hood, the Spec-V retains the standard Sentra’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine but adds forced induction, boosting output to 300 horsepower.
The annual SEMA gathering serves as a showcase for automakers and tuners to unveil experimental designs and partnerships. Nissan has a history of participating in this event, having previously introduced the NISMO GT-Z in collaboration with Forsberg Racing.
Sentra Spec-V Concept Specifications
The Spec-V concept blends components from Nissan’s high-performance lineup. Its Brembo braking system comes from the R35 GT-R, while the six-speed manual gearbox originates from the Juke NISMO RS. The 19-inch LM-RS1 wheels match those used on the Z NISMO, now fitted with Yokohama ADVAN NEOVA AD09 tires in a 265-section width.
The suspension setup draws from the previous-generation Sentra NISMO, including its anti-roll bars and coil-over shocks. However, these components have been adjusted for track performance, incorporating stiffer spring rates and front-mounted external reservoirs. Unlike other Nissan models, the engine remains the stock 2.0-liter four-cylinder, though it gains a turbocharger, reinforced internals, and an upgraded fuel delivery system. A lighter flywheel and clutch assembly further enhance its performance, pushing power from the standard Sentra’s 149 horsepower to the new 300-horsepower figure.

Styling and Interior Features
Nissan has enhanced the Sentra’s sporty appearance with a BOMEX widebody kit, creating a more aggressive silhouette. The front bumper now features an enlarged opening to accommodate the intercooler, while the side skirts incorporate a side-exit exhaust design. The hood includes functional air intakes and vents, all finished in a glossy white exterior with a black roof and rear bumper.
The concept will be displayed in the Central Hall of Nissan’s booth at SEMA, running November 3–6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Inside, it features Recaro bucket seats with integrated harnesses, a NISMO-branded steering wheel, and custom black interior trim. The rear spoiler is a direct transfer from the R35 GT-R NISMO, reinforcing its track-ready aesthetic.
By presenting the Sentra Spec-V at SEMA, Nissan shows its dedication to performance engineering and innovation. The concept represents a bold reinterpretation of the standard Sentra, catering to enthusiasts seeking a high-revving, track-oriented driving experience.
