2011 The Best Nissan GT-R Features

Last year Nissan hit one out of the park with their 2009 GT-R. It won numerous awards including the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year, Kelley Blue Book 2009 Best Resale Value Award and Automobile Magazine's 2009 Automobile of the Year.

With the release of the 2010 GT-R Nissan seems to have done it again. Industry professionals and auto enthusiasts alike are gushing over this new "supercar". No wonder, it looks and performs like a rocket ship and has the genetic blueprint of a racecar. Its' handcrafted 485-hp twin-turbo V6 engine can reach 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a blistering top speed of 193 mph. The GT-R has a dual clutch 6-speed transmission with three selectable modes; normal shifting in less than 0.5 seconds, R-mode or fast shifting at 0.2 seconds and snow mode for gentler starting and shifting on slippery surfaces. The Nissan/Brembo® braking system - 4-wheel disc brakes, 15" front and rear two-piece floating-rotors with diamond-pattern internal ventilation allow the GT-R to stop as effortlessly as it accelerates. The double-wishbone front suspension and - multi-link rear suspension combined with rigid front and rear suspension subframes, give the driver a one-of-a-kind racing experience even if only driving around the corner to pick up your dry cleaning.

As you can imagine a vehicle with this much machinery and superior power is not even in the same hemisphere as economy class vehicles. The base sticker price is a little over $80,000. Upgrade to the GT-R Premium model for about $3000 more and get a hand polished Super Silver paint job, Bose audio system with eleven speakers and dual subwoofers, heated front seats and a near-black metallic wheel finish. All and all, what a small price to pay for a rocket ship.

100% ELECTRIC NISSAN LEAF PICKS UP EUROPEAN CAR OF THE YEAR 2011 TROPHY


The trophy recognizing the revolutionary Nissan LEAF as Europe's Car of The Year 2011 was handed over to Nissan Motor Co.'s President and CEO Carlos Ghosn in a special ceremony at the Pavillion Gabriel in Paris.

To win the award, the 58 CoTY members - leading motoring journalists from 23 European countries - placed Nissan LEAF ahead of six conventional new cars on the shortlist. It is the first time in CoTY's 48-year history that the annual award has been won by an electric vehicle.

"I am convinced that we will see other electric cars named Car of the Year in the future. But when we do, we must always remember that only one can be the first. And that is why Nissan LEAF Car of the Year 2011 is - and will remain - so very special," said Håkan Matson, president of the CoTY jury, speaking at the ceremony.

"It is a great honor for Nissan LEAF to be recognized as the European Car of the Year - the first all-electric car to receive this distinction. Like previous Car of the Year winners, Nissan LEAF is an appealing, competitive car, with no compromise on style, features, safety, performance or handling. Yet it stands apart as an innovative car that reflects a clear vision of the future of transportation - a vision of sustainable mobility," said Ghosn after receiving the trophy.

Nissan LEAF is powered by an in-house developed compact electric motor and inverter in the front of the car driving the front wheels. The AC motor develops 80 kW of power and 280 Nm of torque, enough for a maximum speed of 145 km/h (90 mph). The electric motor is powered by an advanced laminated lithium-ion battery with a power output of more than 90 kW. Developed by the Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC), a joint venture between Nissan and electronics giant NEC Corp., the breakthrough battery has the capacity to store twice as much energy as the previous generation battery.

The zero-emission car is fully equipped with features such as regenerating braking, air conditioning, satellite navigation and a parking camera. Innovative smart phone connectivity will allow an owner to heat or cool the interior of the car remotely via a mobile phone. The single option is a solar panel mounted in the rear spoiler.

Pre-orders for Nissan LEAF have reached more than 27,000 units globally. The zero-emission car is currently built in Japan, but will also be manufactured in the United States and United Kingdom when new manufacturing facilities there open in late 2012 and early 2013 respectively. Deliveries to individual customers in Japan and the US began in December. In Europe, deliveries will start shortly to Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands followed by more markets later in the year.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance aims to be a global leader in zero-emission mobility and is taking a comprehensive approach encompassing both the product and the infrastructure required to support the mass marketing of electric vehicles. To date, the Alliance has entered into more than 90 partnerships with governments, municipal authorities and companies worldwide to prepare the markets and infrastructure for the successful adoption of electric vehicles.

* The current version of the coveted marble trophy, introduced in 2004, was created by Emmanuel Zurini, a French artist famous for his automotive sculptures. Zurini was a leading Grand Prix photographer in the 1960s before turning to sculpture in 1975. It is the third specially created trophy in the history of the Award.

Nissan has won the CoTY award before. In 1993, the Micra became the first Japanese-badged car to win the accolade and started Europe's love affair with the little car that continues today with the recent launch of the latest generation Micra in late 2010.

The newly released 2009 Nissan Murano combines the elevated seating position and the versatility of a sport utility vehicle into its driving attributes. The Murano's spacious interior and classy sculptural lines really stand out when compared to other vehicles in its class, and the Nissan Murano has been one of Nissan's best-selling SUV's for years. The rounded edges on the Nissan Murano actually work as a mask hiding the crossover's massive size, yet it is due to its size that the Nissan Murano can handle a surprising amount of cargo, as well as provide adequate passenger space inside.

2012 The Nissan NV 200 Interior Design

The light weight champion for 2010 is the Nissan NV200. It may look small, but don't be fooled as lots of room comes in small packages. With a 4.2m3 capacity, this van has plenty of space, whether in use for commercial delivery or employed in helping moving house. So how did Nissan obtain this huge amount of space within a short but sweet van? In order to get greater room, they have put the seats further forward, leaving still ample space for the driver. The fuel tank has also been moved to be fitted under the driver's seat, creating plenty of room in the back. With over a 700kg payload, this van can handle a large amount without feeling too strained. It's an easy drive too as it glides along the roads with as much as ease as you would expect from a small car. Moreover, parking is no problem with this compact van, which can be easily maneuvered in and out of tight spaces.

Peace be the journey
In the 1960s and 70s campervans gained a countercultural symbol when their owners expressed anti-war sentiments. This was done by painting their vans different colours, and replacing the VW logo with the peace symbol.

2011 The Nissan Altima Hybrid offers

The Nissan Altima Hybrid offers the sharp handling and spacious interior of the Nissan Altima, and the added fuel efficiency of a hybrid powertrain. It’s available in only eight states, however, and pricey enough to make some question whether the hybrid is really worth the investment.

Before visiting the Nissan Altima New York dealer, one must be done with all the homework so that the car can be purchased at the best deal possible. The sales person is there to give profits to the dealer and the car keys to the buyer. One must be well prepared with the price details gathered from different sources before engaging the smart sales person. This ensures that negotiation is done from the advantage point, and one cannot be fooled by all the sweet talks. It's a good idea to visit two or three dealers to get the expected reasonable deal.

The car maker performed a thorough research on the Indian market, and finally, in 2004, the Nissan X-Trail set foot on the Indian roads. In this article, let's have a look at Nissan's cars in India; the car maker's journey in India.
