The Nissan GT-R Is The Fastest Drift Car

2017 GTR Cardinale Nissan

The Nissan GT-R has become the fastest drift car on the planet after the team at NISMO modified to reach speeds of 190mph, while going sideways. The car was never meant to be a drifter – it was meant to be a fast-paced thrill on the race course.

The modifications for the car include a complete overhaul of the interiors and dual-clutch transmission. They have been replaced with racing seats, a cage and a sequential gearbox. Rear-wheel drive has replaced the car’s original all wheel drive system. To get the beast roaring, a 4L twin-turbo V6 engine resides under the hood and is paired with a good nitrous injection system. It can now produce an eye-pooping 1390 horsepower.

To help with the drifting, the front tires are bigger than the rear ones. The suspension has undergone a complete overhaul to accommodate this. The GT-R was always meant to be quick on the lap but everything on the car was scrutinized and revised to make it go as fast and as sideways as possible. The GT-R set the world record with Japanese driver Masato Kawabata behind the wheels.

Although, the car does not quite scary to drive with the right expertise, anything is possible. The original GT-R is an amazing car in itself and can leave competitors behind with ease. Coast Nissan offers the GT-R and other stunning Nissan models.

Most of the Pathfinder’s safety systems are similar to last year’s model. However, it is easy to see that the safety measures have improved on this model with the introduction of the front emergency braking and intelligent cruise control. A major introduction is that of the Around View Monitor that lets you track moving objects as you drive.

Conclusion

The Pathfinder has it’s own base of fans and rightfully so. It can offer some amazing features and makes sure nothing is complicated for the drivers to learn. Price is another major factor as to why the car is so popular.

It will also give Nissan the opportunity to keep the car for the next few years without it being too many upgrades. Overall, the Pathfinder is definitely a car that is recommended that want to have fun in an SUV and still feel the power.

A Breakdown Of The Nissan Pathfinder’s Top Competitors

2017 Pathfinder

The new Pathfinder is a great car that is affordable. In terms of competition, the car is up against the Ford Explorer and the Honda Pilot. Both of these cars have similar specs and we’ll take a look at them below

Honda Pilot

The Honda Pilot underwent some major changes last year. These changes involved a completely new exterior that made it look less like a box and more like a sleek machine. The car comes with a V6. 3.8L engine and is available in 5 trim levels. On 4 of these trim levels – LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring – all-wheel drive is available and they operate on a six-speed automatic transmission. The top most trim – Elite – comes with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic. The nine-speed automatic makes the car more powerful, saves fuel and improves various driving characteristics. The car delivers 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.

Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer also underwent changes in 2016 and comes with a new engine – a 2.3L four-cylinder engine – that delivers 270 horsepower and 300 pound feet of torque. If you’re looking for more power then you have to go for the range-topping EcoBoost option that offers 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The 3.2L, V6 engine option offers 290 horsepower option and 255 pound-feet of torque.

The only cars that compare to the Nissan Pathfinder are the top versions of these models, which are more expensive. The Pathfinder is a good car overall and comes at a better price than both these cars. You can check out the Pathfinder at Coast Nissan.

The Maxima Midnight Edition- Part 1

th

When the Nissan Maxima in its 2016 edition first rolled into the market, it amazed almost everybody with its dramatic redesign. The initial suspense over, the Nissan company is exhibiting what the buyers of this car can do with their possession. The Nissan Maxima SR Midnight is a sports car having four doors.

The extra equipment which builds up the 2016 edition of the Maxima SR Midnight provides this sports car a sporty and dark appearance. Although the cosmetic changes are great, car enthusiasts finds nothing extraordinary under the hood or otherwise. The Midnight is just a standard SR with a few optional equipment that comes with the car.

The 2016 year saw the Maxima model undergoing substantial transformation. This provides it with an increased daring and bolder appearance. The fact is that the car’s appearance is so daring and bold that many would either love it-or hate it. The Midnight model continues with the polarizing appearance and adds a smidgen of extra sportiness to the car body. The noticeable addition is the mandatory deep-black exterior hue which Nissan terms Super Black. To match the hue, Nissan has added rocker panel moldings, rear diffuser, rear sports spoiler and splash guards. The car rolls by 19-inch aluminum wheels. The interiors of the car also went through a transformation, thus enabling this four door sports vehicle into the club of more expensive sedans.  Got to have a Nissan car? Do not fret. Simply come over to Coast Nissan in California.

Review of Interior and Exterior Looks and Features of the 2016 Nissan Versa

 

Nissan 2 coolest versa car under

 The 2016 Nissan Versa is vying for attention in the highly competitive subcompact space with the likes of the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Sonic and Ford Fiesta to go against. The advantage that the Versa holds over all of them is that it provides a level of value and features that is virtually impossible to beat.

Interior looks and features

What really draws you to this Nissan offering is its bucket loads of space inside the cabin, be it the front or the rear or the cargo. This is probably the only subcompact sedan where a 6-foot tall person can sit without his head touching the headline of the car confidently. The front seats are comfortable for city rides and offer amenities to be a realistic vehicle for everyday use for a driver and several passengers.

The dash is easy to read. There is the standard trip meter, the analogue tachometer and speedometer, etc. There is a large glove box and also 3-knob climate control. The audio display and controls are simple yet practical and provide the expected features for a modern vehicle.

Exterior

The Versa has an appealing design, particularly considering its very reasonable sale price. You get 15inch steel wheels on the base model which gets upgraded to 15inch aluminum alloy on SV and 16inch alloy on SL. The design keeps up with modern trends and focus has been kept on comfort rather than looks or breakneck speed. The car gets all season tires and there are options like rear trunk spoiler, splash guards and accented chrome trunk that you can choose from. The side panels however, get character lines, which Nissan has named “squash lines”.

Performance and Safety Review of the 2016 Nissan Altima

2016-nissan-altima-rear-view-gun-metallic

 

The 2016 Nissan Altima is focused on improving its performance and fuel efficiency, making it a leader in its class. It does pack a punch under the hood and the SR actually feels quite nimble and sporty.

Performance specs

It comes in two engine options: the 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, DOHC and the 3.5 liter, V6 DOHC. A Hybrid variant is no longer available. The 2.5 liter produces 180 bhp power and 180 ft-lb torque at high rpm ranges. Redline rpm is at 6800 rpm. If you rev up the SR too close to the redline, the car software automatically downshifts significantly. But the engine feels nice throughout the range. The V6 produces 270 bhp power and 258 ft-lb torque. The CVT manual transmission feels nice and smooth. The gears are simulated in the SR and SL to copy the gear ratios of automatics. The others come with manuals.

Safety

This 191.4 inch (109.3 inch wheelbase) long sedan is packed with safety features. ABS, traction and stability controls as well as rearview parking cameras are standard on all models. Some of the top get blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with front collision warning with emergency auto braking (only SL). Nissan also provides emergency assistance and lost car location assistance. It has a tire pressure monitor and is easy to fill, which means a warning system sounds buzzing when the tires have been inflated adequately. No separate monitors are required. The 2015 Nissan Altima, similar to this one, had got the highest possible ratings on crash safety tests from IIHS and NHTSA.

Nissan is giving you a “substantial” car for a reasonable bargain. It starts from the $23,000 level and goes up to just below $35,000 level, for the fully fitted top trim SL. So, it can cater to a wide section of the market. To know more, contact us at Coast Nissan.
