Nissan planning more model swaps Just last week details of Nissan’s deal with Chrysler were announced, each producing a vehicle for the other to help fill out both companies’ product lines. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn says more deals like it are in the works, with many different makers, though details on the coming model-swaps are still hazy. Ghosn was quick to note that Chrysler isn’t destined to become the North American partner Nissan has been seeking, saying “I don’t think the opportunity is there today...

Nissan GT-R V-Spec to have close to 510kW (that's 693bhp!) If the new Nissan GT-R’s 353kW isn’t enough for you, wait until the debut of the GT-R V-spec, which promises 510kW of power courtesy of an increase in boost for the twin-turbo V6 engine.Caught here at the Nurburgring test track in Germany, the GT-R V-spec has been set a target lap goal of under seven minutes and 25 seconds for the tricky, demanding circuit.

Has the Nissan GT-R got Toyota running scared? It was Ed Loh who first noticed: "Funny," he said. "Once the production GT-R arrived, the Lexus LF-A prototypes disappeared from the Nurburgring." He has a point. Corvette engineers have been at the Nordschliefe in the 620-horse ZR1 running what appear to be comfortable 7min 40sec laps in other words, better times than former Formula 1 ace Jan Magnussen in full commando attack mode managed in the Z06. But the LF-As, 'Ring-side spy shots of which arrived here almost on a weekly basis over the past few... Article added: 2008-04-12 22:12:04 Article Views Rating: 388
2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD REVIEW When I first heard of this new vehicle from Nissan, the name alone conjured up all kinds of thoughts in my mind. After all, who names their new born fledgling "a Rogue"?? In my mind, that's almost like Chanel calling its latest fragrance "Pong"!Mind you, after seeing and driving the vehicle, I can't honestly think of a better nameplate to describe this delightful new CUV offering from Nissan.Obviously, the Rogue is built on a slightly smaller scale than the Murano.Yes, it's a rogue...

Nissan GT-R Spec-V prototype burns upNissan GT-R Spec-V prototype burns up the 'Ring at 7:25 Rumor has it from those who have been trackside at the 'Ring during testing of Nissan's GT-R V-Spec prototype, that the car is churning out lap times in the 7:25 range that's roughly three seconds quicker per lap than Porsche's Carrera GT supercar. The Spec-V GT-R is, of course, the higher performance variant that is expected to have not only more power, but also to trim down the standard GT-R's somewhat portly curb weight through the use of lighter carbon fiber components. Just how much lighter will it... Article added: 2008-04-10 06:01:57 Article Views Rating: 270

Nissan GT-R V-Spec lap times stun observers Click above for a high-res gallery of the Nissan GT-R V-Spec. The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the "Victory Specification" designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004. In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the...
