About the Nissan Primera P10
The P10-generation Nissan Primera eGT was a landmark for front-wheel-drive dynamics, featuring a sophisticated multi-link front suspension system that offered class-leading handling. Powered by the legendary SR20DE 'Red Top' engine, it delivered a high-revving 150 PS that made it a formidable rival to the BMW 3 Series and Peugeot 405 Mi16. While its styling remained understated, its performance was validated by significant success in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Today, it is a sought-after modern classic, prized for its mechanical purity and reliability.
