Nissan could be going all-electric with its flagship Nissan GT-R. Call it keeping up with the German Joneses or wild speculation, but a new report claims Nissan's Cheif Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga has hinted at the possiblity of turning Nissan's already heavily electronic sports car into a...

Few rites of passage get landmark status in a car fan's life. There's nothing in a car life like the birth of a first kid or the signing of a first mortgage--unless you have to do both just to get that "classic" Zimmer QuickSilver back on the road after Granddad left it to rot in a barn in New York...

Egoist: Noun. A believer in egoism; an egocentric or egotistic person. That's the definition of the new name reported to be attached to the 2012 Nissan GT-R luxury model that was expected to be called the SpecM. But how will that sit with Americans? Highly individualized, buyer-centric...

You have to be a certain kind of crazy to participate in a 24-hour endurance road race. You have to be even crazier to do it as both driver and crew, essentially ensuring you won't sleep for 30 hours or more. But that's exactly the kind of crazy we are, and we'd do it again this weekend if we...

Rumors on the Internet abound, and many of them relate to as-yet-unreleased cars. File this one in the "we'll believe it when we see it" category, but it's interesting enough to repeat: the 2012 Nissan GT-R could get some significant new features, including rear-wheel-drive only mode. Hidden under...

The Nissan GT-R gets a new, focused track edition--in Japan, at least.

There's been a lot of talk about electric rides lately, most of it having to do with the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf. (They're not the only EVs on the market, obviously, just the two getting most of the publicity right now.) What's weird is this: much of the chatter about the Volt seems...

The 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster is a great cruiser, and a competent bruiser.

The new technologies will be rolling out to the production range soon.

The Silvia could see a rebirth as Nissan ramps up its product plans.

Auto makers have gradually begun introducing their own interpretations of the plug-in electric vehicle, still a fairly unfamiliar concept to most consumers. Since their strategies are all a little different, it can be difficult to do across-the-board comparisons. Two big players, the Nissan Leaf...

Last year we saw the introduction of the limited-production GT-R SpecV model, a stripped down version of the already extreme Japanese supercar designed for hardcore club racers and performance nuts. As previous GT-R generations have shown, however, Nissan was never going to rest with just one...

With ‘just’ 485 horsepower on board, the stock-standard R35 Nissan GT-R is already capable of outgunning all but the fastest and most expensive of supercars. So just imaging what the car could do if output was increased to 900 horsepower! Thanks to the guys at Switzer Performance, we...

The Nissan GT-R SpecM is overdue already, but appears to be nearing completion.

The rumors are flying fast that Nissan's Z sports car could benefit from the new engine relationship.

With its arch rival, the Porsche 911 Turbo, now packing 530 horsepower, at least in “S” trim, the Nissan GT-R’s 485 horsepower output is starting to look a little feeble. Well that won’t be for too long as latest reports indicate that there will be some major upgrades to the Nissan GT-R’s...

The original Z was sold in October 1969 in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z and was also exported to the U.S. as the Datsun 240Z that same year. Since this year Nissan has been building and selling the newest Z, the 370Z, which is now the 40th year for the Z line of sport coupes and convertibles...

The all-acrylic car was used to demonstrate the distribution of Shell's oil throughout the engine.

Oberlin, Ohio isn’t the likely site for a company specializing in high-output power upgrades for exotic cars, but the state is home to Switzer Performance Innovations (SPI), a company churning out mega horsepower cars. Started by Tym Switzer several years ago, the tuning firm is now offering...
