Leading up to the official reveal of the Corvette ZR-1, a rare week went by when we didn’t see spy shots of the General’s new super coupe eating up the Nurburgring. But still images don’t tell the whole tale, so InsideLine sent its spies to the North Loop with a video camera to capture an […]

With only 20 miles separating us from North Lake Tahoe, it’s obvious that I hadn’t secured the hood of our Super Silver Nissan GT-R after poking and prodding inside the engine bay. The left side of the bonnet is raised about a quarter-inch and flapping slightly at speed, so we pull off into a newborn […]

Scorching fast. That’s the word from Car & Driver on a Nissan GT-R they were allowed to instrument up and abuse for a few hours. 11.5 in the quarter mile and a 3.3 second run to 60 mph are incredible numbers from any car, but this one only costs $70,000. That price tag would be […]

By mid-2009, Nissan plans to cover the entire gamut of the automotive spectrum, ranging from the compact Cube to the supercar-fighting GT-R. That’s the word from Nissan this morning as they announced that the new Cube will come to the US market next year to fill the void left behind by the dearly departed first […]

The season opener for Japan’s SuperGT series is a little over a day away, and the organizers have finally deemed one vehicle worthy to lead the GT300 and GT500 racecars around the track. A new Nissan GT-R, swathed in white and sporting the required safety stickers and light bar, will make its way around Suzuka […]

One of the few problems with being the purveyors of a highly desired commodity is that people will do anything to get their hands on it, sometimes before you’re willing to give it to them. Such is the case with Nissan and people importing GT-R’s into Australia through the “grey-market.”
A supposedly leaked memo from Nissan […]

A forum member over at Fresh Alloy has posted scanned pics of the coming Nissan 370Z from a Japanese magazine, and it looks like things are going to get a lot curvier. It appears that the hood-to-fender dip on the current car remains on the new Z. However, at the front of those fenders appears […]

When a friend tipped us that there might be an R35 Nissan GT-R drifting around Southern California, we tried to get more details. As the facts started trickling in, we realized we might actually be able to get some seat time if we played our cards right. Well, we did get some seat time and […]

Contrary to a few reports that began surfacing around the web this morning, Nissan will not be showing off a hopped-up version of the GT-R at the Geneva Motor Show next week. With all the spy shots, general speculation and history of the GT-R badge, it’s just a matter of time before Nissan evolves it’s […]

While an Infiniti-badged GT-R sedan might seem semi-plausible, this rendering from Best Car is about as probable as a mentally balanced child star. A GT-R SUV? Why not? Well, let’s start with the ugly factor. The Nissan GT-R isn’t the prettiest vehicle on the block to begin with; jack it up, add a couple of […]

As every automaker knows, new models aren’t without their growing pains. Aside from all the other issues to contend with while launching a new vehicle, there’s always the possibility that something is going to go amiss after deliveries begin. Such is the case with Nissan, who just informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that […]

The new Nissan GT-R isn’t short on power — this much is known. Whether its sizable punch calls for the addition of an adjustable race-style rear wing is debatable. After all, the stock machine conquered the ‘Ring in 7:38 without raiding the Boeing 757 parts bin for stuff to bolt to the rear deck. Engineers… […]

The debut of the production Nissan GT-R remains one of the hottest happenings in the automotive world this past year, but the return of the GT-R to Japan’s SuperGT series is of equal importance. We’ve already seen what the new racer will look like as it gears up for its assault on the GT500 class, […]

Nissan’s original Murano was a successful and difficult act to follow. The elder statesman of crossover utility vehicles saw its sales increase every year since it was introduced in 2003, but with the segment going from crowded to standing room only, Nissan realized changes were needed to compete.
“Murano-ness” – that’s what Jarrad Haslam, Nissan’s product […]

Nissan’s in-house tuning arm, Nismo, is looking to expand its reach both in its home market and abroad, beginning with an S-Tune package for, of all things, the Tiida.
Beyond the Tiida (Versa here in the States), Nissan plans to offer Nismo parts and professional tuning at every one of its dealerships in Japan, with plans […]

The Tokyo Auto Salon opened up last week and our comprehensive coverage has been slightly delayed due to the madness known as Detroit. We’ve partnered up with our friends from Autoblog Chinese to bring you as many live shots of the show as we can procure.
There was only one car to kick off the coverage […]

To go with its newly trimmed styling, Nissan has treated the Murano’s price to a nip and tuck, too. The 2009 model has had $1500 removed from the MSRP across all trim levels, and a new dual panel moonroof makes the options list along with three new exterior colors. Inside, the seats and instrument panel […]

Why, dear God? Why do bad things happen to good cars? We have no idea what circumstances were at play when this gleaming new grey Nissan GT-R got a sizeable love tap in the right front quarter panel. We’re willing to give the owner the benefit of the doubt and assume that someone backed into […]
