2008 Ultimate Performance Car Test: 2009 Nissan GT-R vs. the World We're in a 2009 Nissan GT-R, helmet on, seatbelt fastened, left foot poised to release the brake and unleash Godzilla's wrath. But we're not on a racetrack. In front of us there are 22 miles and 402 turns of the best driving road in the world, Southern California's Glendora Mountain Road. We've covered this ground thousands of times, but today it's different. Today there are two California Highway Patrol cruisers stationed at either end of this twisting strip of sun-drenched blacktop. It is our personal... Article added: 2008-05-28 08:53:47 Article Views Rating: 195

Nissan begins EV push with joint venture, test project We’ve been covering Nissan’s plans for an all-electric car since 2007, but until now there has been little tangible progress, at least in the public eye, aside from the concept debuted at this year’s New York Auto Show. A joint venture with NEC to mass produce advanced lithium-ion batteries and the establishment of a study project in Japan mark the first real steps toward full-scale electric vehicle production for Nissan. Earlier this month Nissan unveiled its GT 2012 plan, which... Article added: 2008-05-20 06:35:45 Article Views Rating: 240

Stock Nissan GT-R fares well in One Lap Photo by Mary SeelhorstSlightly over shadowed by all the drama surrounding the Vanishing Point Dodge Challenger, Car and Driver competed in the 2008 One Lap of America event behind the wheel of a stock Nissan GT-R. Typically a magazine editor going for an extended joy ride in a pre-production sports car isn't expected to severely push the vehicle's limits, which is why Tony Swan cruised to a decent 11th place overall finish in the event. Not a bad placement, but also apparently not good enough for some... Article added: 2008-05-16 07:20:07 Article Views Rating: 205
Check out the 2009 Nissan GT-R To experience the full, gut-churning potential of Nissan's 2009 GT-R, you have to ride shotgun with Tochio Suzuki. The legendary test driver took automotive writers for hot laps around the Autodromo Fernanda Pires Da Silva in Estoril, Portugal, recently as part of the 2009 model's introduction. Suzuki still had his mojo working a few days after setting a record time for the GT-R of 7 minutes, 29 seconds at Germany's 22-kilometer Nurburgring. That shaved 9 seconds off the previous record and bolstered... Article added: 2008-05-12 10:09:42 Article Views Rating: 217

New info on Nissan's Ram-based Titan pickup More details have emerged about the next-generation Dodge Ram-based Nissan Titan pickup. Questions about how similar the two trucks will be have been partially answered, as Pickuptruck.com reports that the Titan and Ram will share only their doors and roof panels. The next-gen Titan will feature an exterior and interior designed solely by Nissan, which should put to rest concerns about a rebadged Dodge Ram. The two trucks will, however, share platforms, the Ram's new coil-sprung rear suspension, the... Article added: 2008-05-03 09:05:37 Article Views Rating: 239 |
