    Nissan’s third-generation Murano crossover, which is launching as a 2015 model, has been revealed in full at the 2014 New York Auto Show. The new Murano features the bold styling first shown on Nissan’s Resonance concept in 2013 and should stand out from the crowd in the competitive midsize crossover segment. Key elements of the design, which Nissan calls “V-Motion”, are the LED boomerang lights, floating roof and sculpted surfaces. The interior is just as modern and features a wide center console and panoramic moonroof. ALSO SEE: Man Makes Car With... Expanding Foam?...

  • 2014 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 race car

    In 2013 Nissan made a return to touring car racing in Australia using its Altima sedan, after exiting the sport two decades prior. The Japanese automaker was famously forced to exit the local competition in 1993 when its R32 Skyline GT-R, which at the time was dominating the field, was banned due to a rule change that ended the FIA Group A format in Australian touring car racing. Now, Nissan is bringing back the GT-R to race at one of the central locations of Australian motorsport, the legendary Mount Panorama racing circuit in Bathurst. Nissan will field its latest 2014 GT-R NISMO GT3 race...
