Renault's announcement Thursday follows its decision earlier this year to take part in a similar project in Israel that Renault executives described as potentially the first mass commercialization of all-electric cars to individual customers. The Renault-Nissan alliance has teamed... Full article...

Last month, CARB's staff said in a 52-page report that it should reduce by 90 percent the number of zero-emission vehicles -- fuel-cell and battery-electric vehicles -- would be required to 2,500, down from 25,000 under the current...

They have secured one of them, a white pre-production car handed over by Nissan's engineering team. That's it above with IL's 308 long-termer. With editors Scott Oldham and Ed Hellwig at the wheel, that car will get driven 3,000 miles over the next three days, and they're going to share the wealth! For added coolness, they'll bring the whip to a few selected Inside... Full article...

We'll count the Geely GT among that last group. Details are sparse at the moment -- we have no clue what the proposed powertrain consists of, for example -- but Geely's coupe concept this year looks to be substantially more ambitious...

We've already reported on the trials and tribulations owners have faced when trying to throw on some new hoops or attempting to get past the Nissan-imposed 111-mph speed limiter, but as we suspected, both issues have been resolved post haste by the auto-obsessives across the Pacific.HKS has begun selling a standalone speed-limiter defeat that...

CARB Chairwoman Mary Nichols told reporters in a conference call Tuesday that the board is likely to revise a proposal its staff recommended last month that called for cutting the vehicle count 90 percent, from 25,000 to 2,500. She said the final proposal... Full article...

Initial testing showed that even simple mods such as adding new wheels or breathing mods makes the ECU go haywire, but it appears Japan’s tuners have now cracked the code. Some of the big firms such as Mines, HKS and Top Secret are starting to fill their... Full article...

We brought you another shattered GT-R in Hong Kong in early January, and a GT-R fender bender a few days later in Shibuya Tokyo. An Autoblog tipster just sent us a link to yet another bashed-up GT-R in Malaysia. As a purely objective observation, the latest incident does a decent job of demonstrating the integrity of the Nissan GT-R's safety cage. Too bad it's at the expense... Full article...

It seems that the Korean car company has already sent Universal a bright red Genesis Coupe SE powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
