Pinnacle Nissan Reveals NISMO-Inspired Sentra SE RS Tuner Sedan

After teasing it last month, Pinnacle Nissan and NISMO Nick have finally revealed the new Sentra SE RS. Built in-house at the Scottsdale dealership, this NISMO-inspired sedan aims to bring back the spirit of the early-2000s tuner scene in a fun, affordable, ready-to-drive package.

The car definitely catches your eye. It comes with a bold graphics package featuring red accents on the front bumper, side skirts, mirrors, and rear diffuser. The stripes along the sides - red, black, and gray - fade into a checkered flag pattern on the rear fenders, giving it a playful, track-ready vibe.

Under the skin, the Pinnacle Nissan Sentra SE RS gets a NISMO cat-back exhaust, 18-inch black NISMO wheels, and a revised grille that ditches the usual SR badge. Adjustable coilovers help firm up the ride, while the cabin gets a mini makeover with black-and-red Katzkin leather seats, complete with “SE RS” embroidered headrests.

All that extra kit will set you back $6,995. Since the SE RS starts life as a $25,000 Sentra SR, you’re looking at a minimum of $31,995 for the full setup. Not bad if you’re into the tuner look.

Performance, though, is kept simple. The Pinnacle Nissan Sentra SE RS sticks with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. This car is more about style, nostalgia, and having fun than pure speed.
