New Nissan GT-R Could Be Fastest Sports Car Worldwide
Tuesday, July 31st, 2018
The Nissan GT-R, otherwise known as Godzilla, is a range-topping, supercar. This vehicle gives you intense power and performance, and it is perfect for those with a need for speed.
A new Nissan GT-R is in the works, and Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s Senior Vice President of Global Design says it will be the fastest sports car in the world. Unfortunately, we don’t have too many specifics yet because the designers haven’t really begun to make definite plans yet.
The Drive speculates about this upcoming vehicle, “We expect the next-generation Nissan GT-R to drop sometime in the early 2020s. Considering the current car makes 565 horsepower (or 600 in Nismo guise) and Albaisa’s grand claims, 700 horsepower sounds like a good minimum output for the R36.”
What else do we know about the upcoming GT-R? We know it will be intimidating and impressive. Learn more about Alfonso Albaisa’s thoughts below.
“It’s an animal; it has to be imposing and excessive,” says Albaisa. “Not in terms of its wings, but rather its visual mass, its presence, and its audacity. It doesn’t care what every other supercar in the world is doing; it simply says: ‘I’m a GT-R, I’m a brick, catch me.’ It’s the world’s fastest brick, really. And when I review sketches for the new car, I say that a lot: ‘Less wing, more brick.'”
The 2018 Nissan GT-R is an intensely powerful vehicle in its own right. This car gives you a 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine. This engine produces 565 horsepower and 467 pound-feet of torque. This vehicle was also built with impressive exterior design that sculpts the air. It has an aggressive look with large grille openings that allow cooling air, but also gives the vehicle a look of power. You also get Multi-LED headlights that give you a striking visual, and the circular taillights add an impressive touch.

Nissan Set to Spread the Note e-Power Across the Sea
Monday, July 23rd, 2018
Nissan has done some great things with alternative power in its vehicles. For example, the Nissan Leaf is a vehicle that is entirely electric. However, now, Nissan has a unique vehicle called the Nissan Note e-Power. This vehicle is not exactly an electric vehicle, and it is not exactly a hybrid vehicle. Learn more about the Note e-Power below.
According to Forbes, “The Note e-Power is what the industry calls a “series hybrid” which means, for all intents and purposes, this car is an electric car in that it runs on an electric motor which drives the front wheels. But it also has a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine that acts solely as a generator to charge the batteries. The engine does not drive the wheels in any way, and for Japan, that is a new concept.”
The Note e-Power has a 40kW electric motor, but there is no plug-in feature like many hybrid vehicles. The gas engine is used only to generate electricity for the electric engine. This helps it produce more energy with less fuel.
The Note e-Power is currently only available in Japan, but this may be a vehicle that expands to other nations. What does Nissan have planned for the Note e-Power?
Electrive tells us “Nissan wants to extend the reach of their e-Power technology as used in the Note beyond Japan. First markets to benefit from the unusual hybrid are countries in south east Asia such as Thailand and others with weak charging infrastructure.”
Will the Note e-Power come to the United States? Nissan is looking to adapt its e-Power technology for vehicles in the US, so this could be something to look out for if you are interested in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles.

The Nissan Kicks vs. Kia Soul
Thursday, July 19th, 2018
If you are looking into a subcompact crossover vehicle, you probably have the Nissan Kicks and the Kia Soul on your list to check out. We are going to help you determine which is better for you by doing a comparison below. We will take a look at the fuel efficiency, the price, and more, on each of these vehicles, so we can help you determine which one is the best for you.
Motor Trend compares the miles per gallon of these two vehicles, “With just 125 hp and a low curb weight, the 2018 Nissan Kicks is one of the most efficient sub-$25,000 cars available today. With an EPA rating of 31/36 mpg city/highway, it easily beats all three engines of the Kia Soul (besides the electric option).”
When you take a look at the safety features of these two vehicles, they both have some good safety to offer. The Nissan Kicks offers you some good safety technology, like automatic emergency braking, on every Nissan Kicks. If you take a look at the safety features on the Kia Soul, you have to upgrade quite a bit to get features like automatic emergency braking, but the Kia Soul does have a five-start NHTSA safety rating.
Motor Trend also discusses a price comparison of both of these vehicles. Motor Trend writes, “This is a close one, but we’ll give the nod to the Nissan. For $18,965, the base Kicks S includes automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen. With the Kia, start by asking yourself whether you’re ready to buy a new car in 2018 without a rearview camera. If not, a base-model Soul with an automatic transmission and a rearview camera comes with the Convenience package that also adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen display. For that content—and, of course, Kia’s 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty—the MSRP is $19,895.”
Overall, we think the Nissan Kicks wins in this car comparison. You can check out the Nissan Kicks, and more vehicles like it at Woodfield Nissan.
