Nissan recently released this ad for their Leaf that offers zero tail pipe emissions, 100% electric ride and their official spokesperson is none other than the seven time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong.

Nissan chose Lance Armstrong as the first recipient of the Leaf (he’ll be getting it September) and in this commercial the cycling champion narrates: “In 20 years of cycling even when I was ahead, I was always behind. Behind cars, behind trucks, behind those guys. Tailpipe after tailpipe after tailpipe. Until now.”

The Leaf will be sold in the United States in December 2010 and will also be available in December in Japan, the Netherlands and Portugal. Sales are expected to begin in Ireland and the United Kingdom in February 2011 and Nissan recently announced that it has sold out the 13,000 production run for the December launch of the car.
