Last year Nissan announced that self-driving vehicles were not too far away from a reality. In fact the Japanese auto manufacturer said that they would become a commercial reality by 2020. They made a similar promise years ago before they launched electric vehicles – which made them the leader in new technology in previous years. Nissan Chief Executive Officer, Carlos Ghosn, took his comment back from the previous year by saying, “Self-driving cars remain a long way from a commercial reality.” However, Google is ready to push auto manufacturers towards a driverless paradigm – recently, the popular search engine added Ford Motor’s, well respected former CEO, Alan Mulally to its board of directors. This recent addition to the board has made the possibility of driver-less vehicles more credible. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

The new 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO is an upgraded version of Nissan’s power machine – since this vehicle model was first launched in 2009, Nissan has tweaked and upgraded the vehicle every year. This next model will receive an extra dose of power with a revised suspension that promises better ride quality and improved grip on the black top. Nissan has also implemented new spring rates and re-valved dampers along with new softer front anti-roll bar bushings. These are the type of changes that you can actually feel from the driver’s seat – previous model year cars typically followed grooves and ruts in the road, but this new car tracks free and smoothly on the highway. Bilstein dampers can be adjusted to a ‘Comfort’ setting to provide a more relaxed trip. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Nissan likes to shake things up with their driver line-ups before big races – the No. 35 Nissan GT-R team is the latest team to receive changes before this month’s Spa 24 Hours race. The team that consists of a two-time Super GT GT500 Champion Masataka Yanagida, Katsumasa Chiyo and Miguel Faisca will be joined by Mark Shulzhitskiy, the winner of the 2012 GT Academy Russia competition. He said, “Racing a P2 car is a big opportunity for me – My recent experience at Le Mans was very special. Le Mans is such a fast, dangerous and unpredictable race. Coupled with that, I was in a very fast car with very fast teammates and a top team, so the pressure was on for me. I learned a lot and just that one race has made me a lot stronger.” Shulzhitskiy, is excited to join the team. Darren Cox, NISMO Global Head of Brand, Marketing and Sales, said, “We like to shake up our driver line-ups every now and again. I’ve said it before that winning GT Academy doesn’t guarantee anyone a race seat for life. We expect maximum effort and top performances from our guys and recently Mark and Wolfie have shone.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
