Nissan 370z Great Sport Car Top Review and Price

The Nissan 370Z is a first half of the rear traction motor two-door sports coupe. The vehicle features the long hood short-deck design common to the Z-Car family continues the tradition of exchange of trunk room for increased performance.

Exterior design highlights a sloping fastback style roof line, waist high, angular headlights / taillights and bulging fenders that are driven into the corners of the vehicle.

Interior cabin design is simple. The main indicator pod is mounted directly to the steering column allowing their movement to match the settings of the wheel. Additional gauges are mounted in a center triple gauge group. The gauge display for gas and the engine temperature is replaced by a dotted meters in front of a traditional meters, and the steering wheel and climate controls are similar to the Nissan Maxima.

A navigation system with iPod integration replaces a box in the center console storage unit with a control and monitoring that is used with the Nissan Maxima, Nissan Murano, and several models of Infiniti.

The changes include a 350Z and a more upright pillar (similar to the GT-R), new headlights inspired aggressive, smart key system, more pronounced fender arches, new rocker panels and a new liftgate. In addition, the 370Z does not make use of a conventional glove box.

During the development of the 370Z, Nissan claims that the Porsche Cayman was the goal of performance, but the end result is a car that is similar in weight, with more power and a lower price. The new design Cayman produces 265 hp (198 kW) in its basic configuration, with 320 hp (239 kW), Cayman S worth almost $ 10,000 more.

Nissan to introduce iconic sports car 370Z next month

nissan 370z
Japaneses auto maker Nissan today announced to introduce its iconic sports car model 370Z next month in India.
"The new sports car model 370Z would be introduced in India from January and shall be third in the series of fully imported cars launched here, after Teana and X-Trail," company spokesperson, Suresh Rangarajan, told reporters.

The company has plans to introduce four models in India under its fully imported category cars, and is yet to decide on the fourth model, he said.

"The fourth model proposed to be imported by Nissan and launched here is likely to be a SUV," sources said.

"Nissan has global market share of 5.67 per cent and targets to achieve 5.5 per cent market share in India within 3 to 5 years span post launch of manufacturing facility at the upcoming plant in Chennai, by May 2010," Managing Director and CEO Nissan Motor India, Kiminobu Tokuyama, said.

He was here to inaugurate the first dealer outlet of Nisaan in Gujarat and the ninth in India.

Nissan has already decided to stop production of its MICRA model of cars at the UK manufacturing plant and shift its production at the upcoming plant in Chennai, Tokuyama said.

"Chennai plant having the V-Platform facility shall be initially manufacutring premium hatch back cars in the B-Plus segment, and shall be the hub for global sourcing," Tokuyama said.

"The company plans to export 110 thousand units in the first year to more than 100 countries especially 30 countries in Europe," he added.

Mini E trials kick-off (UK)


The Mini E electric car trial kicked off in Oxford yesterday as 40 customers picked up their cars from the factory. The first phase of the project will run for 6 months and is designed to evaluate the psychological, social and technical aspects of living with an electric car.

More than 500 people applied to take part in the trial through Mini's website, and the 40 successful applicants (hailed as 'the pioneers' by Mini) have all had special charging points fitted at their homes.

Every Mini E is fitted with a data-logger, with the information collected over the coming 6 months by Oxford Brookes University, and then shared with governments and other car makers across the globe. The aim is to improve the design and the infrastructure of electric cars.

The Mini E is based on the Mini hatchback, but it has just two seats because the space usually reserved for rear passengers is needed to store batteries.

The 35kWh lithium-ion battery powers a 201bhp electric motor, so performance is impressive. In fact, the 'E' accelerates faster than a petrol-powered Mini Cooper, even though it weighs around 300kg more. If you charge it at home, the overall CO2 impact equates to roughly 68g/km.

That's around half the CO2 emitted by a 1.25 litre Ford Fiesta and will reduce over time as more of the UK's electricity is generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind- and solar power.

BMW charges £550 a month for every Mini E, but thanks to a helping hand from the Government's Technology Strategy Board, each of the 40 UK customers has to find only £330 a month. That's about the same cost as leasing a Volkswagen Golf, and includes all servicing, insurance and maintenance bills.

The only other cost to Mini E drivers is for the electricity and, by charging it overnight at home, that equates to about a penny a mile – that's £1.50 for a full charge from empty. During peak hours, the cost rises to about £4.00.

To sign up for the second stage of the trial – due to start in mid 2010 – log on to www.electricmini.co.uk.

About the Mini E:

Top speed – 95mph (electronically limited)

0-62mph in 8.5 seconds

Maximum range – 155 miles

Charge time – 4.5 hours

Power – 201bhp

Torque – 162lb/ft

Battery – 35kWh, Lithium-ion

Weight – 1,465kg

Ford Focus & C-Max recalled (EU)


Ford is recalling 30,000 of its Focus and C-Max models in the UK because of a safety problem.

The American car maker has warned salt from gritted roads could damage its cooling system and cause the engine to catch fire. The safety recall affects all 1.8 litre and 2.0 litre Ford Focus and C-Max TDCi diesel models built between 20th February 2004 – 31st May 2006.

The problem was first identified in the Summer, but many owners are only now receiving recall letters. The Winter gritting season has also made it more urgent for owners to react. Ford said there was a risk of corrosion build-up in the cooling system from salt and grit put on roads during the Winter months. Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a water shield to prevent the car's fan control module from corrosion.

Owners are being urged to book their car in for a short service free of charge. Up to 65,000 models could be affected in Europe, with 29,451 of them in the UK.

Owners who are unsure whether their car is affected or not can call the Ford customer relationships centre on 0845 841 111.

Bentley Mulsanne pricing announced (UK/U.S)


Bentley's flagship Mulsanne begins production at the Crewe plant next Spring 2010. First deliveries of the Mulsanne will happen in Summer 2010 in the UK, while U.S deliveries will begin in fall. The Mulsanne has a £220,000 price-tag and that’s before you start adding in your options. For the U.S, the MSRP of $285,000 excludes taxes and delivery charges. Over 1,000 potential customers from the Europe and the U.S have been given a live preview of the car.

Said to be the most luxurious Bentley ever built, the Mulsanne puts its occupants in the very cusp of luxury motoring. Buyers will be offered a choice of 114 paint colours or a unique colour of their own making, 21 carpet colours, 24 interior leather hides tanned using a decade-old process and a total of 9 wood veneers. It takes about 9 weeks to complete one Mulsanne from scratch.

Though classic in its general approach, the uber-limo will also get very modern features such as Bluetooth connectivity, SIM card reader, iPod connection, 3G MMI system and what Bentley says is the world's most powerful sound system installed in a production car – a 20 channel 2,200w mobile music station.

Power is supplied by a lightweight 6.75 litre twin-turbo V8 producing 500bhp and 1,000Nm (740 lb-ft) of torque. It comes with a cylinder de-activation and variable cam phasing feature to help cut fuel consumption and C02 emissions.

As a consequence, the new 911 Turbo offers increased performance, lower weight, enhanced driving dynamics and greater fuel efficiency.With respect to dynamic performance and fuel economy in particular, the next generation Porsche 911 Turbo now stands apart from its competitors even more. The new model will be presented to the public for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show from 17 - 27 September, 2009.
2010 Porsche 911 Turbo
The heart and highlight of the seventh generation Porsche 911 Turbo is the new power unit displacing 3.8-litres and delivering maximum output of 500 hp (368 kW). The first entirely new engine in the 35 year history of the Turbo comes with features such as Direct Fuel Injection and twin turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, the latter attribute being unique to Porsche on a petrol engine.
2010 Porsche 911 Turbo
The new six-cylinder engine can be combined with the option of the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch gearbox; and, for the first time, a further new feature of race car-inspired paddle-shift technology can also be specified. Fitted firmly on the steering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up through the gears, and the left paddle for shifting down. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo, both the paddle-shift steering wheel and the PDK steering wheel with its shift buttons feature integrated displays for Launch Control and the Sport/Sport Plus mode.
This unique combination of supreme technical features ensures an unprecedented standard of responsiveness, agility, performance and efficiency.
