The winner of the 1990 Le Mans 24 Hours, Mark Blundell, recently reunited with his Nissan R90CK at Circuit de la Sarthe at the ACO President’s dinner held on the circuit just before the start finish line. Twenty-five years ago, Mark Blundell sat behind the wheel of the famous R90CK and Nissan was able to score the pole. Since then cars have changed tremendously. In 1990 Nissan made efforts to improve the reliability of the R89C, which had proven its speed during the previous season, by modifying the chassis and installing the VRH35 model VRH35V engine. The 1990 car measured 4,800mm in length, was 1,990 mm wide and had a height of 1,100 mm – the car weighed a total of 900kg. The 1990 vehicle’s configurations are much different than the 2015 vehicle’s configurations which have a total weight of 880kg.

Nissan has recently launched its eighth-generation Maxima, which was redesigned for 2016 – the racier exterior styling, with a floating roof and beltline, an enlarged front grill and a fastback rear design. Nissan claims that the new Maxima will re-emphasize the “4-door sports car” – the car is now 79 pounds lighter and sits on a more rigid chassis. Pierre Loing, Nissan North America product planning Chief, said: “This is where we will be different. The large segment has been an aging demographic, and sales are falling for the segment as a whole. We see the look and performance of the Maxima as a way to appeal to younger customers who want a larger sedan.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below: http://www.autonews.com/article/20150604/OEM04/150609924/nissan-banks-on-racier-maxima-to-draw-younger-buyers

In the midst of final preparation for the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nissan GT-R LM NISMO Chief Engineer, Zach Eakin, drove the GT-R LM NISMO to Jay Leno’s Garage to go over all things GT-R LM NISMO. The episode highlights some of racecar’s key features and explains why Nissan believes that their GT-R LM NISMO is the most competitive way, within the regulations, to get around Le Mans. Eakin shares with Leno that this year’s racecar is completely different than ever before – this year’s model features front-wheel drive which is able to add additional down force to the front of the vehicle. Front-wheel drive is terrifically efficient and can boost the vehicles’ aerodynamics. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
