The twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 will unleash 520 bhp at 6400 rpm to all four wheels, while weighing in about 60 lb. less than the current car, thanks to lighter weight parts throughout the body. Peak torque, estimated at 452 lb.-ft., will be reached from 3200 to 5200 rpm. This means the car will be quicker than the current GT-R. The 2012 Nissan Sport Cars GT-R EGOIST will also have a more compliant suspension (via revised spring rates and slightly different geometry at the rear), while still being able to keep up with cars on the track. The interior will also have numerous key “Egoist” touches.

The price of the GT-R Egoist is set at about 14,000,000 yen or $150,000, roughly $50,000 more than a stock GT-R and about $10,000 less than a Spec V. The company plans to only sell about 10 cars per month. Nissan U.S.A. has offered no comment about the Egoist and maintains that the only GT-R the company will be selling in the U.S in 2011 is the stock one, so don’t expect the Egoist or Spec V to come this way anytime soon.

MANIATEKNO.COM - In 2010, Nissan launched an innovative LEAF as the first mass production electric vehicle in the world, as well as a beginning for the future vision of zero emissions Nissan. Forward to 2035: electric vehicles and green technology infrastructure which is the source of energy they have "matured" into a system that can stand alone, to realize this dream.

Continuing the tradition of sport Nissan, Nissan iV is a high-performance electric car that was inspired by the beauty of nature and designed by human intelligence. iV is a super lightweight sport tourer featuring "organic synthesis", a revolutionary manufacturing technique in which the components are cultivated as in agriculture in a sustainable process that is free of carbon.

Less is better, that's the philosophy of this car. Every detail of the Nissan iV is designed through maximum efficiency. Using an organic frame entwined with each other, chassis materials in the synthesis of iV grow and form a stunning shape. Derived from the ivy vines and composites reinforced with spider silk, this biopolymer framework flexible and ultra-lightweight, yet powerful. Spacious cabin can accommodate four adults and is made of photovoltaic material 99% lighter weight than traditional glass. Canopy in addition to functioning to collect solar energy, it also serves to protect the passengers and provide a unique sight. Underneath, a slim-bio battery provides stability and distance, which is almost without limit, is due to the super-capacitor technology regenerative recover 60% of the kinetic energy is wasted.

Motor-less hub of the patented in-wheel drive Nissan not only iV, they perform three tasks at once with the function as the steering wheel and suspension system through magnetic levitation and encouragement. Inspired by the movement of fish as a group and their flowing movements, pro-active Safety Shield Nissan reduces vehicle weight by eliminating heavy structures (bumpers, lights, airbags, etc.). Through superior technology, Nissan iV maximize the driving experience by eliminating the excess burden. Nissan will meet a deep longing for pleasure driving with beautiful electric car capable of providing satisfactory performance without the need to feel guilty.

It is amazing the competition these days around the United States for onsite car dealership lot washing. As the founder of The Car Wash Guys and now retired, often I get emails asking specific questions about the mobile car wash market. Recently someone out there in Sunny Southern California asked what he might charge a new car lot customer with 60-80 cars.

Well, it depends on weather in most markets although in Southern California the weather is always pretty decent. Of course when it rains, yes it even rains in Southern California, especially on El Nino years there are things to think about. So, I asked the gentleman which market he was in so I might give him some advice on how much he should charge.

He was in San Diego County so: I would say in your area you might need to charge $1.30 per car. Of course there is significant Hispanic Mobile Car Wash Companies bidding the price way down under $1.00 per car. Also being an Auto Detailing Company too one consideration is to attempt to get the in-house wholesale detail account for new car preps and/or used car detailing, etc.

Tokyo - Nissan finally began the process of mass production of electric cars Nissan LEAF in Japan this Friday, October 22, 2010.

For now, the Alliance has signed 80 partnerships for zero-emission mobility with the government, cities and companies around the world.

LEAF reach 260 Nm of torque just like a car or a V6 gasoline engine, 3,000 cc. With full energy condition, LEAF able to move up to 160 km. You just need 30 minutes to fill batereinya up to 80% on public stations. When at home with a voltage of 200-240 volts it would take 8 hours to charge the battery up to full. Nissan will also introduce some electric cars; e-LCV Nissan, Nissan LandGlider 2-seater, and EV Infiniti sedan.

Ghosn said the first year of production LEAF already sold. In Japan LEAF will go on sale in December 2010, Nissan's first U.S. LEAF will slide in late 2012 with the number of reservations have already reached 20,000 units in the U.S..

The reason is very cliché, which is due to the electric car infrastructure in Indonesia is not yet available.

The future concept cars coming out these days are just spectacular. Sports cars are out of the range, this is the “Incepto, new design trends and styling language, Azerbaijani designer Samir Sadikhov has come up with a sports cars concept that combines luxury and performance in a single vehicle.
Incepto Sports Cars Concept by Azerbaijani Designer Samir Sadikhov
The first photo is the cars in a red and black design. Hailed as “Incepto,” the two-seater presents an aerodynamic body, especially the glass-covered rear wheels, to ensure minimal wind resistance and better controls at high speeds. Developed for the year 2020, the sportscar includes a dramatic center-vertical exhaust to tout an astonishing design language.
The smooth, curvy exterior of the Incepto is equally supported by an elegant and comfortable interior. Incepto Sports Cars Concept by Azerbaijani Designer Samir Sadikhov photos it is eloquent of the writer to describe the design as language. There are many medium a speaker can use to communicate. Taking the time to imagine, sketch, plan and create a concept is a very high level of communication that most think only scientists or mathematicians can reach.
Fortunately the design world is for the simplicity on this chaotic oblate sphere(Earth). Therefore all the complicated terms have no meaning for the consumer. Words that we like to hear are easy to use, comfortable, efficient, smooth and classy. The design sounds just breathtaking and so are the photos.
A concept car, designed by Samir Sadikhov, proves an amazing dexterity of a Student cum designer with a vision to build a futuristic two-seated, sporty and a luxurious sports car. He has also been able to successfully combine a enhanced aerodynamic approach by covering the rear wheels by glass and an unusual central-vertical exhaust, which is perfectly radically designed, converting his self-branded limited dream-car into a successful final product.

Though Incepto has a radical design which is different from many other designs and concept cars there is a portion of impracticality which can be refined for its better secured future.
