While Nissan in the United States is busy promoting its new turbocharged Sentra SR, the company's counterparts down in Mexico are marking the end of an era: the Nissan Tsuru, which was sold here as the Sentra in the early 1990s, is finally going out of production. With more than 1.8 million built...

Nissan on Thursday announced the successful acquisition of a 34 percent stake in fellow Japanese automaker Mitsubishi. The deal, valued at 237 billion yen (approximately $2.28 billion), was first announced in May following the emergence of Mitsubishi’s own emissions cheating scandal, which...

Faulkner famously told us the past isn't dead; it isn't even past. We can't prove it, but we think he had the Nissan Sentra SE-R in mind. The 1991-1994 SE-R set the cheap-car benchmark for a generation: a flyweight car with feathery controls and a lamprey lock on the pavement. Think ersatz M3 with...

The Nissan GT-R for the 2017 model year has undergone its most significant update to date. Nissan says the 2017 GT-R will eventually offer four models for customers to choose from. Two of these have been revealed in the form of the GT-R Premium and GT-R Nismo. Now we can add a third to the list...

Nissan today announced pricing for the 2017 GT-R Nismo in conjunction with the 12th Annual Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, California. The track-oriented Nismo is priced from $176,585, a large step up from the $111,585 Nissan charges for the GT-R Premium model. CHECK OUT: 2017 Nissan GT-R...

It's been forever since the Nissan Sentra SE-R was a machine to be feared--but this year, a new Sentra SR Turbo gives us hope that its tossable, rev-happy spirit lives on. The 2017 Sentra SR Turbo gets its start as a stock Sentra SR, complete with its 124-hp, naturally aspirated inline-4. Yank that...

Nissan has priced its 2017 Armada from a very reasonable $45,395, including destination. That’s a rise on the starting price of the previous Armada, which in its last year on the market listed from a little under $40k, but the new Armada is a much more substantial vehicle. Its pricing also...

Nissan unveiled the BladeGlider, an electric sports car, as a concept car at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. Today, the company showed two working prototypes in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Like the concept, the prototypes feature a 1+2 layout for 3-passenger seating. The front end has a narrow track, while...

Those lamenting Nissan’s decision to go with car-like unibody construction for the latest Pathfinder will be happy to note the automaker is working on a new body-on-frame SUV, though whether we see it in the United States remains to be seen. The vehicle is an SUV version of Nissan’s...

Nissan’s GT-R is one of the most popular cars for modifying, and with good reason. But there’s such a thing as taking things too far. Case in point is this GT-R with turbochargers where the headlights would normally sit. Yes, it makes the car look downright nasty, in a good way, but it...

There are few cars more complex and sophisticated than Godzilla, also known as the Nissan GT-R. Our friend at Engineering Explained, Jason Fenske, has a knack for making the most complicated topics far easier to understand, and his latest project is dissecting just how the GT-R puts its 565...

Nissan is in the car business, but it has commissioned a special drone that is capable of keeping pace with the high-performance GT-R on a racetrack. The GT-R Drone, as Nissan is calling it, was designed by World Drone Prix Champions. Its most impressive spec is that it can reach 62 mph from a...

The compact, rear-wheel drive show car we got so excited about at the Nissan stand a few years ago is back, but it isn't headed to dealers. Instead, as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson pointed out in a post on his Instagram channel, the IDx NISMO show car will apparently play a role in the upcoming eighth...

Walk up to the counter, tell the Nissan dealer the trim model of the 2017 Nissan 370Z you want, take two steps to the left, hand the cashier your money, take your keys and go home. Nissan has announced the 370Z will live on for at least another year—the ninth for the current model (a Z34 to...

Electric cars are showing up all over the place, but hydrogen fuel-cell cars have lagged behind, with only three Asian makers committed to offering them in the U.S. That's partly because setting up a network of hydrogen stations to fuel them is slow and expensive. Now Nissan has a better idea...

I’ve just snaked through legendary Eau Rouge and Raidillon S-turns at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, careful not to drive over the rumble strips because, in the rain, their paint has a different traction coefficient than the asphalt and that could send the 565-horsepower 2017 Nissan GT-R off...

Those gloriously fluffy rings of fried, glazed dough aren’t the only donuts we’re celebrating on National Donut Day. We also love the stinky, smoky, rubbery kind. Here’s a collection of some of our favorites, including one from Nissan featuring Formula Drift icon Chris Forsberg...

Nissan has announced pricing for the 2017 GT-R, and it's getting more expensive. The first model to be offered, the Premium, will start at $111,585. That reflects the $109,990 base price plus $1,595 for destination. The outgoing Premium model started at $103,365, so the price has increased $8,220...

Nissan used the Nürburgring as the backdrop for the unveiling of its 2017 GT-R Nismo, where the automaker is competing this weekend in the racetrack's annual 24-hour enduro. The latest GT-R Nismo, which saw much of its development at the Nürburgring, goes on sale later this year alongside...

The next Nissan to receive some performance tweaks from in-house tuner Nismo is likely to be the Sentra. A partially camouflaged Sentra prototype wearing a sporty body kit has been spotted testing in the United States and is thought to be a new Sentra Nismo. The prototype, photos of which can be...
