Video: Nissan GT-R R35 585Hp by Amuse on the Race-Track

From what we where able to gather, the modified GT-R features several upgrades including a engine kit that boosts the twin-turbocharged V6’s output from 480 to 582 Hp, an aero package, Recaro seats and new tires.

Video: 2009 Nissan Maxima 290Hp 3.5 V6

Unveiled during the 2008 New York International Auto Show, the sixth generation 2009 Nissan Maxima is bigger and more powerful than the outgoing model but it also features a polarizing exterior design.

Video: Car Magazine Co-Drives The 2008 Nissan GT-R

Car magazine’s Ben Barry must have felt like a ravenous child in candy store when Nissan’s marketing boss Shingo Suzuki (now that’s funny) unexpectedly suggested that he jump into the GT-R’s passengers seat for a quick spin. See, while Car and a bunch of other major auto magazines were invited by Nissan to photograph the 2008 GT-R in Hokkaido, it was on a strictly “look and drool but don’t even think about driving” basis. Now that sucks. (Links: GT-R Promo Video click here, images & specs click here)

Nissan GT-R Promo Video

Featuring a new 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 “VR38” engine, producing 473 Hp (353kW) at 6400rpm, the all-new GT-R is definitely one of the most anticipated sports cars of the year. Available in Japan from December 6 and the rest of the world in 2008, the Nissan GT-R promises to offer more adrenaline than a Porsche 911 Turbo at half the price. Something tells us that Nissan intends to keep its promise. For official specs and high-res images, click here.

2008 Nissan GT-R Spy Video

Yep, here’s another spy video of the forthcoming Nissan GT-R. Only difference here is that, judging by the quality of the video, it wouldn’t be far fetched if we agreed with our fellow bloggers at WFC who claim there’s a possibility that the video was produced by Nissan folks themselves. Not that it matters since we’re not far away from the presentation date which is set for October at the Tokyo Motor Show.

Video: 2008 Nissan GT-R Filmed At The Goodwood Festival

The guys over at “GTR Owners Club” managed to grab the… pole position at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed that took place a couple of weeks ago in the UK, filming the Nissan GT-R prototype that appeared at the event up close and personal. Among other things we get to see the higly-anticipated GT-R’s interior and especially the instrument cluster which is dominated by the large rev counter. The GT-R, due to be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2007, is expected to be powered by a twin turbo V6 engine delivering more than 400Hp. -Click “Read More…” below to see the video
