NISSAN is gearing up to launch its new 108bhp Micra Street Racer or SR.

The 1.6-litre SR will be available from this summer and although no performance figures are available, the SR will be kitted with 16-inch alloy wheels and spoilers.

Pricing has yet to be revealed but Nissan bosses claim it could be less than the Citroen C2 VTR, Ford Fiesta Zetec-S and the Mini One.
