2009 Skoda Superb V6 FSI, 1.8 TSI And 2.0 TDI First Drive Review“With no manual gearbox to worry about, excellent outward visibility and compact proportions, the Micra is a cinch to drive.”
FOR MANY PEOPLE, a car is little more than a means to get from one place to another. Basic transport, but a lot more convenient than public transit.
For this type of motorist, there’s a veritable smorgasbord [...]
THE NISSAN GT-R is wowing both fans and naysayers alike with its super-quick laps of the Nurburgring - most recently pulling a 7 minute 26.7 second lap - and its victory in the 2009 World Performance Car of the Year awards back in April.
Now the Japanese supercar has made its way into the Italian [...]
NISSAN ANNOUNCED today that it plans to mass-produce a range of zero-emission electric vehicles from 2012, to be offered through its dealerships worldwide.

The company will then move [...]
V8 SUPERCARS AUSTRALIA has called time on the Nissan GT-R’s run as pace car for the championship after abruptly announcing the end of its agreement with Nissan Australia.
The decision to sever ties was revealed ahead of the Hidden Valley round of the championship after the Japanese manufacturer rejected V8SA’s request for the car to be [...]
NISSAN AUSTRALIA has confirmed that it will bring the front-wheel-drive version of its compact Dualis softroader to Australia, to sit alongside the current all-wheel-drive model and offer young buyers a more affordable option.
The FWD version of the Dualis, sold internationally as the Qashqai, has been a hit with buyers, accounting for more than 70 [...]
LUXURY CARMAKER INFINITI is spreading its wings, with Europe and Russia having recently been added to the growing list of regions selling its multi-award winning vehicles.
The upmarket vehicle division of Nissan boasts fifteen countries where it now has a dealership presence, including the North American, Middle-East and Chinese markets.
The US was the first market (way [...]
THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE REVOLUTION is well under way.
To bolster its position as one of the leaders of the emerging propulsion technology, Renault-Nissan has announced the first details of the recharge system to be used on its forthcoming electric vehicle range.
When Renault’s first EV goes on sale in Europe in 2011, owners will be able to [...]
Not this car and not this style: Nissan’s EV will be all-new.
NEWS FROM NISSAN Motor Co in Japan is that Nissan will be heading into new territory with the design of its upcoming electric vehicle. Instead of a slab-sided hybrid look, Nissan’s all-electric warrior will instead feature bold new “flowing” lines.
This suggests that earlier [...]
Japanese R35 GT-R and GT-R SpecV owners in Japan now have the opportunity to improve the performance credentials of their rides via an ECU and TCM (transmission control module) upgrade from Nismo.
Available only on a lease basis, the upgraded electronic modules will not cause any issues with the factory warranty during their time in the [...]
There’s an old adage in fighter-pilot circles that goes along the lines of: “You don’t fly the ‘A’ model of anything”. Early adopters may get their hands on the latest and greatest doo-hicky before anyone else, but as with a lot of new technology, there nearly always needs to be a couple of revisions before [...]
The screen-grab above might look like a fella handing you a plate of steaming hot 2009 Nissan 370Z (hold the anchovies), but it’s actually a shot of Nissan’s new online ‘Take The Wheel’ feature, which invites you to hold the new Z car in your hands (virtually) and look at it from just about any [...]
Certain thieves in the US city of Los Angeles might think they’ve won big, but they couldn’t be further from the truth.
One of the Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R replicas driven by Paul Walker in the most recent instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise has been stolen from a warehouse in California, the thieves also [...]
After taking home top honours in the Nissan, Sony and Polyphony Digital GT Academy program, Lucas Ordoñez decided he could make something of a career in racing.
It turns out he might have been right, with last weekend’s efforts proving that Ordoñez’s win in the GT Academy experiment was anything but a fluke.
Ordoñez, along with experienced [...]
The new 370Z. It’s here, it’s as good as the hype suggests, it’s a blast at the wheel, and you can buy one now. And because I’m a lucky dog, I’ve driven it.
Lighter, shorter, lower and more powerful, the new Zed is a quantum advance over the out-going model. It is also blisteringly fast and [...]
Nissan has officially launched the highly-anticipated Z34 370Z in Australia, and in the process revealed pricing for the delectably-styled coupe.
While available in a number of different spec levels overseas, the 370Z will be sold in just two flavours ‘Downunder’: manual, or automatic.
That’s not a bad thing though, for despite being offered in just one trim [...]
Japanese sources have picked up a whisper that Nissan is working on a hybrid drive-train for both its large and high-performance cars.
The Fuga sedan (Infiniti M35/M45) will reportedly be first to make use of the hybrid system, but the big news is that the 370Z, to be let loose on the Australian media today and [...]
The winner of Polyphony Digital’s GT Academy experiment - a competition that put players of the popular Gran Turismo racing game into the cockpit of an actual race car - has announced that he intends to continue with a career in motorsport.
Lucas Ordonez beat thousands of other contenders to win a spot in a Nissan [...]
Japanese aftermarket manufacturer Wald has unleashed a veritable torrent of photographs depicting its very fetching ‘Black Bison’ bodykit for the R35 Nissan GT-R and heck, we couldn’t resist putting ‘em up for your viewing pleasure.
The Black Bison kit (or more correctly, the Nissan GT-R R35 Sports Line Black Bison Edition) features a bucket-load of scoops, [...]
The lap times continue to fall at the Nurburgring, with Nissan’s R35 GT-R having reportedly reeled-off a blisteringly-quick 7:26.7. This time, though unofficial, is just four-tenths behind the more powerful (but rear-wheel-drive only) Corvette ZR1.
Porsche has also joined the mix by also announcing an unofficial 7:40 lap time for the 2010 911 GT3. This seems [...]
Last month we showed you the first video of Nissan’s all-new Z34 370Z hitting the track and taking on a tuned version of the previous Z flagship, the Z33 Nismo 380RS. Needless to say, it was a pretty lopsided battle.
But the Z34 isn’t out for the count, and to the settle the score a lightly-tuned [...]
Interesting car the new Maxima. Visibly leaner, smarter, with better on-road balance and more ‘connected’ handling, it is a greatly improved unit over the solid but dynamically flawed outgoing model.
Starting at $33,990 for the 250 ST-L, it is also very sharply priced. The entry model ST-L comes with Nissan’s 2.5 litre VQ25DE V6 producing a [...]
New ‘two engine’ strategy debuts 2.5 litre V6 in 250 ST-L model
Leather upholstery and luxury equipment standard
Priced from $33,990
3.5 litre V6 models from $37,990
While TMR’s Tim O’Brien is out at the press launch today, the full details and images for the all-new 2009 Nissan Maxima have been made available.
Utilising a two-engine strategy, the Maxima line [...]
Even though Nissan has gone out of its way to get everything about the GT-R just right, there’ll always be a way for the aftermarket crowd to stuff more in.
Some of those parts will make it go faster, others will make it handle batter, and some will simply make it, um… cost more? Take the [...]
If you’re a user of that snappy whiz-bang ‘RSS’ technology, you might have already subscribed to Nissan Australia’s 2009 Nissan 370Z feed, which drops a few of the ‘370 Reasons To Z’ in your RSS reader of choice, from time to time.
This one, reason 235 (“meet up with distant relatives”), popped up in mine today.
I’d [...]
Available in US and European markets, Nissan’s luxury arm Infiniti is set to release its EX all-wheel-drive ‘crossover SUV’ in Japan, where it will be badged as a Nissan Skyline Crossover.
It might seem odd that the vehicle has previously not been available to Japanese buyers (after all, it’s made there), and even odder to slap [...]
As the first Korean-made car to break into the world of top-tier professional driving, our eyes have been keenly watching the progress of the Red Bull sponsored, Rhys Millen Racing Hyundai Genesis drift car.
In previous reports we said that the Genesis drifter would be powered by Hyundai’s newly-developed Lambda V6, which would be bored and [...]
Nissan said it wasn’t done with the GT-R and Germany’s mighty Nurburgring Nordschliefe, and it wasn’t kidding. After setting a blistering 7 minute 29 second best lap in a bog-standard R35 GT-R a year ago, Nissan has managed to raise the bar once more; this time logging a best lap of 7:27.56.
The car used was [...]
While the Fiat 500 has scooped the 2009 World Car Design of the Year award, the giant-killing Nissan GT-R – affectionately known in the past as ‘Godzilla’ – has beaten all-comers to take the crown as 2009 World Performance Car of the Year.
Making it to the top three finalists – whittled from the top ten [...]

If you were sitting there with a list of pros and cons for which supercar-based super-saloon you should be hauling the kids to school in, you can look a little harder at the Porsche Panamera and cross the GT-R-based Infiniti four-door off your list.
Intended to be an all-wheel-drive flagship for Nissan’s [...]
