After announcing back in February that it would be entering Australia’s V8 Supercars next year, Nissan has now confirmed it will be competing with its latest-generation 2013 Altima sedan in the unique racing series. You may be wondering how a front-wheel drive car powered by four-cylinder and...

After all the spy shots and string of teasers, Nissan’s 2013 Altima has finally made its public debut, with the covers coming off this morning at the 2012 New York Auto Show. The current Altima, despite receiving relatively few updates since its launch back in 2007, is not only Nissan’s...

Dodge and Travis Pastrana have teamed up for RallyCross. Pastrana will be driving a new 2012 Dodge Dart with a 2.0-liter Tigershark engine with more than 600 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. With power being sent to all four wheels, the Dart will hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 1.9...

Last summer Nissan unveiled a new racing version of its GT-R supercar designed to meet FIA-GT3 regulations. That race car has since gone on to compete in the Dubai 24 Hours endurance race and later in the year will see the Nissan GT-R nameplate enter the GT300 class in Japan’s Super GT series...

Could the modified Nissan GT-R in this video clip be the world’s fastest Godzilla? It certainly seems that way, if by fastest you mean top speed only. While America’s own AMS Alpha Nissan GT-R recently ran the quarter mile in just 8.62 seconds, making it one of the world’s fastest...

Proof that all-wheel drive cars can be upset by too much power, even in a straight line, is this video footage of a drag race between two highly-modified Nissan GT-R supercars. The driver of the GT-R on the right loses control soon after launching, with his car then proceeding to twist and turn on...

We haven't seen a Nissan product in this series since the Datsun 810, way back in September, so we're due! I've thought about the odd-looking NX2000, but then someone on the 24 Hours of LeMons forums discovered this fine car for sale. Yes, the Datsun F10 (aka the second-gen Nissan Cherry), a weird...

Our man Kurt drove the 2013 Nissan GT-R to see if Godzilla's latest upgrades warrant the sticker price increase. After a day of driving he concluded the car is still insane as ever, but for the price it's hard to argue with its credentials. In our opinion, you should do anything you can to get...

In the latest from Jay Leno's Garage, SP Engineering brings an 800-horsepower Nissan GT-R to visit Jay Leno and the Big Dog Garage.

A promotional video of its Atsugi technical center accidentally (and briefly) revealed an undisguised 2013 Nissan Altima.

Nissan will reveal the Hi-Cross concept at the Geneva Motor Show, and it's expected that the concept will serve as the next generation of X-Trail SUV.

To be successful as a major automaker these days, building several models off a common architecture or platform and sharing components is the only way to go. Just ask Volkswagen or Volvo, both of which announced new modular platform designs for their next-generation of vehicles recently. Nissan is...

The Nissan GT-R has proven itself time and time again, both on and off the race track, but nowhere has it been such a formidable force than in its domestic market’s Super GT race series. The iconic Japanese supercar has numerous Super GT and previous JGTC titles under its belt but all of...

It may seem like just yesterday that the 370Z replaced the 350Z, but it's been three years--time for a mid-cycle refresh. For the 2013 370Z, it's a very, very mild one, as revealed today at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The most noticeable changes are the removal of the controversial "fangs"--small...
