If you’re in California–actually where we expect most Leafs (Leaves?) to be sold, then the $32,000 and change base MSRP gets dropped to $20,280 after the $7,500 federal tax savings and the $5,000 statewide tax rebate. Same goes for Georgia. This is of course assuming that you have that much tax to pay. Pretty sweet [...]
Chuck Norris turns 70 today. Rumor has it he bought himself a Nissan GT-R for his birthday.
This is why:
Newton’s Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal to a GT-R.
Chuck Norris and Mr T. got into a GT-R and drove [...]
The mad wrenches at Stillen have worked up one helluva Nissan GT-R to tackle this year’s Targa Newfoundland. The team’s doing great so far thanks to a massive amount of testing and R&D pre-race. Leg three finished up yesterday and included everything from wide-open stretches of tarmac to a few technical bits through residential sections. [...]
The good Fiends at iMotor have finally gotten around to putting Nissan’s bad-mouthing to the test. The squabbling over the heavy-weight title in the ‘Ring has done much to draw attention away from the bantamweight fight between the 370Z and the Cayman S. Not too long ago, Nissan was fluffing its feathers and proudly proclaiming [...]
And by crap loads, I mean $465 million of our precious dollars. The loan from the federal government is part of a larger series of loans totaling $8 billion for new fuel-efficient vehicle research. Tesla plans to use the coin to develop the new Model S and the car’s battery packs, and if you think [...]
If you live in Japan and have a bent for all things Z, Nissan’s got something tasty for you. The company has just dusted off its factory tuned 370Z, and the results are delicious. Aside from an 18 horsepower bump in grunt, the car rocks a six-speed manual tranny or an optional seven-speed auto. If [...]
Why not throw in a little more “can’t have” this morning. The Fiends at Autocar have lined up the ever-impressive Nissan GT-R against Ford’s Focus RS on a stretch of public tarmac. Usually these sorts of comparos are pretty pointless because you can only go so fast on open roads no matter what you’re driving, [...]
But not the one we posted on last month. You see, the mighty green GT-R worked up by Freedom Autosport and Switzer suffered a few technical difficulties, but that didn’t stop team Cannonball in their own Godzilla from swiping the top spot from Porsche’s paws. The team took first by a full 205 points, beating [...]
The boys (and girls) in blue at the New York Police Department will be ticketing protecting citizens in brand-spanking new Nissan Altima Hybrids. The force plans to use 22 of the rigs as unmarked cruisers while the rest will don the traditional light bar and reflective livery of the law. The reason behind the move [...]
Last year, when the Nissan GT-R stopped by Tire Rack’s One Lap of America, it finished 11th in its class. That may seem lackluster, but considering the Nissan was bone stock and going toe-to-toe with some wild variations on cars like the Porsche 911 and the Corvette Z06, the car did fairly well. It looks [...]
