Nissan’s GT-R NISMO is famous for having lapped the Nürburgring in only 7:08.679, making it the fastest production car at the German circuit that can be had for under a half a million bucks. What’s not so well known is the fact that upgrades made to the car to enable the incredible...

Everyone knows Paul Walker was an avid car fan, but the late actor wasn’t the only member of the Fast and the Furious family to have a penchant for cars. Sung Kang, who played the character Han in some of the movies, also has a love for cars, particularly classic Porsches. However, he also...

The Nissan Patrol isn’t sold in these parts, although we do get its Infiniti QX80 corporate cousin. That’s a shame because the Patrol is a much better looking vehicle than the ungainly QX, and now it’s even got a performance-oriented NISMO version. ALSO SEE: Acura Bringing...

Mercedes-Benz confirmed earlier in the year that it was working on a pickup truck, though whether or not the vehicle will make it to the United States is still up in the air. The new pickup is to be a mid-size model based on body-on-frame underpinnings common to pickups from Renault and Nissan...

A couple of weeks ago, we heard that Nissan was tossing up a radical change in direction for its next Z car, one that would ditch the conventional sports car format in favor of a small, sporty crossover body.
