Nismo, the in-house performance brand for Nissan, has just introduced a new line of off-road parts that will debut at this years Rebelle Rally.
There is no better place to introduce off-road gear than at the Rebelle Rally, which is an off-road race for women that covers 2,000+ kilometers across the Nevada and California landscape. It starts in Lake Tahoe and ends at Glamis, with navigation ranging from GPS to compasses, with challenges placed along the way.
Nissan will be sponsoring a team called, Wild Grace, who will be running a 2020 Nissan Frontier that will be outfitted with a Nismo/Bilstein suspension kit, off-road bumper, Nismo/Rigid off-road lights, and Nismo off-road wheels. All of which make this the ultimate Nissan branded off-roader.
Nissan is the only automaker to sponsor a team since the Rebelle Rally debuted 5 years ago. This years Team Wild Grace co-captains Sedona Blinson and Lyn Woodward are hoping to improve on their previous results and are hopeful the new 2020 Frontier with an improved drivetrain, best in class 310 HP motor, and updated Nismo products.
