			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smart will be revamping its Fortwo with the addition of a pair of, seats and doors in the rear. The new model supposed to be called Fortwo+2 will be longer and wider than the current model to accommodate those extra set of seats and doors. This means increased wheelbase.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10415" title="Smart Fortwo+2 Model Spied" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/smartfortwo1.jpg" alt="smartfortwo1 Smart Fortwo+2 Model Spied" width="570" height="380" /></p>
<p><span id="more-10412"></span></p>
<p>All these information have been derived from a spy photo of a 1:4 clay model, so nothing’s for granted guys.</p>
<p>Although redesigned with new front, grille and narrower headlights it does retain some exclusivity like the contrasting Tridon safety cell.</p>
<p>The new Smart Fortwo will be launched from the beginning of 2012 and only after that will the Fortwo+2 will go on sale. The next generation Fortwo will be the first to be developed by Daimler alongside Renault-Nissan combination with 3 and 4 cylinder petrol and diesel engines. As far as functional concepts are concerned, new Fortwo will have the same rear-engine rear-wheel drive system of the original car.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10416" title="Smart Fortwo+2 Model Spied" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/smart1.jpg" alt="smart1 Smart Fortwo+2 Model Spied" width="570" height="380" /></p>
<p>The jagged automatic transmission was the main problems with the current model and might be swapped in for a Renault-Nissan built unit.</p>
<p>The fresh Smart Fortwo will be unveiled in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and will go on sale shortly afterwards for something like €10,000 while the Fortwo+2 will cost around €12,000.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nissan has unveiled a racing edition of the GT-R called the NISMO GT-R RC (Racing Competition). It was launched at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon by the manufacturers’ in house tuner NISMO.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10259" title="Nissan Debuts Racing Edition NISMO GT R RC at Tokyo Auto Salon" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/NISMO-GT-R-RC3.jpg" alt="NISMO GT R RC3 Nissan Debuts Racing Edition NISMO GT R RC at Tokyo Auto Salon" width="570" height="382" /></p>
<p><span id="more-10255"></span>The GT-R Racing Competition features plenty of track-going modifications. The GT-R&#8217;s set up now sports improved track performance with a tire-compatible suspension as well as more lightweight parts. It is also equipped with the proper racing safety features such as an FIA-qualifying welded roll cage, air jacks and a 120 liter safety fuel tank from ATL.</p>
<p>The GT-R comes with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine with an output of 530 hp (395 kW / 537 PS) and 488 lb-ft (661 Nm) of torque. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved at a flat 3.0 seconds for the standard GT-R. Hence it calls for no engine tuning at all, with plenty of power already tapped.</p>
<p>The Japanese annual tuner show, The Tokyo Auto Salon was held from January 14 to 16.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some extremely interesting ads that are making an appearance on YouTube, highlighting the glories of the Nissan Juke. With a tag line that says ‘Shift the way you move’, Nissan is changing more than perceptions of movements with this one. Postulating that the car has origins that are good enough to hail back to the stuff that urban legends are made of, the story of the Nissan Juke is told in vivid graphic style, and seem to be made by a hardcore Tron fan.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9756" title="Nissan Juke ‘Trophy’ Ad Creates a Buzz" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/juke.jpg" alt="juke Nissan Juke ‘Trophy’ Ad Creates a Buzz" width="570" height="309" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9755"></span>The ads are shot in the style of the high action movies from Hollywood, and are packed with car chases, and adding to the thrill of the action is the well paced audio narrative. Sure to set a Nissan buff’s pulse racing, the videos seem to be creating a new style of marketing cars.</p>
<p>The ‘Trophy’ ad that elaborates on how the Nissan Juke came to have a unique center console, which is reminiscent of a motorcycle fuel tank, takes viewers on a ride, which encapsulates the journey of urban predator and prey – featuring a contest of superiority between a motorcycle and the Juke.</p>
<p>Viewers are hooked by the elaborate chases and the stunts – including one where the car follows the bike off the roof of one building onto the next. Ultimately, the Juke prevails, and adorns itself with the spoils of the victory, the trophy – which is embedded in between the two front seats as a motorbike-fuel-tank and now functions as a center console.</p>
<p>The ads are sure to appeal to enthusiasts across the gamers-action flick-car buff demographic, who are already playing and replaying the YouTube video. Check out the video below:</p>
<p><object width="570" height="345"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Du1fUkGX4yo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Du1fUkGX4yo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="570" height="345"></embed></object></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lawbreakers and miscreants in the South African towns of Johannesburg and Tshwane are in for a bad time. The Metro Police Departments of these towns have just received six spectacular Nissan GT-R Terminators. These are known to be among the most efficient patrol cars that exist on the face of the earth.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9671" title="Nissan GT R Terminators for JoBurg/Tshwane Police Force" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/Nissan-GTRTerminator.jpg" alt="Nissan GTRTerminator Nissan GT R Terminators for JoBurg/Tshwane Police Force" width="570" height="379" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9670"></span>The vehicles are unique police cars that can give 447 kw worth of turbocharged power and also speed up to 100 km/hr in a mere 3.5 seconds.</p>
<p>This new Terminator is 200 kg lighter than the models available in the showrooms and is sure to foil many quick getaways that criminal minds may have in mind.</p>
<p>A group of specially trained officers will be driving these mean patrol machines – and will be totally equipped to chase down and apprehend the best of the speed breakers, regardless of what vehicle they may be chasing.</p>
<p>Specially designed by engineers at Nissan Motorsport, these vehicles possess interiors that have been redesigned to the advantage of the modern police force.</p>
<p>The doors are swing-open Kevlar reinforced; there are exra cup holders in place for those endless cups of coffee, special quick-release gun holsters and the center console can carry handcuffs.</p>
<p>Word is that these machines are already out in the streets of Johannesburg and Tshwane, helping to terminate crime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2012 Nissan GT-R has been detailed with a new bumper in front, complete with LED daytime lights, a change in the posterior – and a change in the diffuser, the vehicle is equipped with Hyper Blue Black Chrome wheels.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9425" title="2012 Nissan GT R Details Out" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012-Nissan-GT-R1.jpg" alt="2012 Nissan GT R1 2012 Nissan GT R Details Out" width="570" height="380" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9422"></span>Inside, the dashboard has been tweaked a bit, and chrome-plated accents are in place, fitting in nicely with the new seats and carbon fiber trim. Powering the vehicle is a twin-turbo V6 that gives 530 PS (390 kW / 523 bhp) and 612 Nm (451 lb-ft) of torque. The best part is that engineers have actually managed to ensure that fuel efficiency has improved even with the additional power.</p>
<p>Driving is definitely going be smoother – new options include the deactivation of the all-wheel drive system when the vehicle is traveling less than 10 km/h (6 mph). The new strut bars that are present under the dashboard greatly add to chassis rigidity and responsiveness. Also the rear suspension now has a modified roll center height to improve the grip on the road while cornering.</p>
<p>Sources say the updated GT-R will be available in Japan and that the public unveiling will be at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Prices in Japan start at 8,694,000 yen. It will be available in the US and Europe after February 2011.</p>

This comes about two months after some spy pictures had revealed one of the two Nissan GT-R prototypes doing some tests at the Nurburgring circuit (in Germany).</p>

<p><span id="more-8778"></span>The latest photo reveals that the 2012 Nissan GT-R will be coming with minor changes. This includes a modified grille, lighter wheels, LED daytime running lights and a rear diffuser which is said to increase downforce by 10%.</p>
<p>There will also be two new color choices: Aurora Flare Blue Pearl and Nebula Opal Black. The car will be coming with the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine. We can expect some minor modifications which should enable the engine to produce more than 485 hp (492 PS / 362 kW) and 434 lb-ft (588 Nm) of torque.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A joint project by Nissan, motor-sport division NISMO, NOVA Engineering and Nordring tuning has enabled the availability of a Track Club Edition of the Nissan GT-R. This offer is only for the Japanese market and sources say applications are being accepted until September 20.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8594" title="Track Club Edition of the Nissan GT R on Offer" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Nissan-GT-R.jpg" alt="Nissan GT R Track Club Edition of the Nissan GT R on Offer" width="570" height="376" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8593"></span>The vehicle comes with the standard twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine that&#8217;s good for 485 bhp (362 kW / 492 PS) and 434 lb-ft (588 Nm) of torque. There are also exciting new performance upgrades including a new programming of the ECM, traction control and ABS systems. There are two-way adjustable Bilstein dampers and new upper front links and a cool front lip spoiler and 20-inch Rays Forged Aluminum wheels.</p>
<p>The Track Club Edition GT-R is set to sell for ¥10,479,000 ($120,725/€92,205). But to be part of the Prestige Club of GT-R, a customer will need to shell out an additional membership fee of 2 million yen ($23,024/€17,598). Annual dues come up to another ¥1 million ($11,513/€8,800) per year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The third generation Elgrand for the Japanese market has been announced by Nissan, which calls the vehicle the ‘King of Minivans.’ The model will be out in Japan later this month. The vehicle is due to be out in the US market in early 2011, and will be known there as the Nissan Quest. In the US it will be on the same platform as the Elgrand, with certain stylistic differences.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8587" title="Elgrand, King of Minivans, Announced by Nissan" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Nissan1.jpg" alt="Nissan1 Elgrand, King of Minivans, Announced by Nissan" width="570" height="357" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8586"></span>The top end version of the Elgrand&#8217;s will be an all-wheel drive fitted with a 3.5 liter petrol/gasoline engine with 280 PS (206 kW) and 344 Nm of torque. The 3.5 liter will also be available as a 2WD and a 2.5 liter with 170 PS (125kW) and 245 Nm of torque.</p>
<p>On both versions, the engines will be coupled to the Xtronic CVT-M6 transmission. Optimized fuel economy is ensured with the Adaptive Shift Control system, which keeps the CVT gearbox running smoothly.<br />
With up to an 8-seat capacity, and packed with goodies like the Quick Comfort Seat Heater, Around View Monitor, Wide View Monitor, a Parking Guide assistant and an Eco-Drive Assist System, this is one vehicle that will offer luxury for group travel.</p>
