Nissan sees the potential of electric vehicles as infinite due to their eco-friendliness and incredibly comfortable ride. Believing that all things are possible, Nissan created the Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle – a whimsical concept vehicle created for the Green Funding Lab project in Japan. Nissan shares that the interest in BBQ in Japan is quickly expanding; however the need to start a fire and clean up after detracts from the experience. Now Nissan helps by building an electric car that can provide the source of the power for the BBQ while emitting zero emissions. Additionally, the concept vehicle builds a mosquito barrier system to drive annoying bugs out of your picnic area, a refreshing mist shower system allows you to cool off on a hot summer day, a flying selfie camera allows you to take pictures of your entire crew and setup, smartphone-link display turns your car window into a television display for karaoke or video streaming and it also comes equipped with a small waste disposal for quick and easy cleanup.

At this year’s Geneva Motor Show, Nissan plans to showcase its newest Nissan Qashqai and JUKE, two of the biggest automotive success stories in recent years. The automaker is planning on unveiling a new concept vehicle that answers the question: What would happen if the company applied the same radical thinking and quality standards to one of the most important sectors in Europe: the small hatchback? The Japanese automaker believes the concept car will provide us with a glimpse at how a future generation of small Nissan models could look if the company’s striking new design was to be applied to a Euro hatchback.

The Nissan Murano is known to be the best vehicle Nissan has made in years. The five-passenger crossover, starting at $30,445, is targeted mostly to empty-nesters looking for a luxury hauler. Families with a tangle of kids and sippy cups will be better served by Nissan’s larger SUV, the Pathfinder. Overall the 2015 edition has a more aggressive and edgier appearance. Nissan cut out the clutter by severely reducing the number of buttons on the dashboard – wood and metal trim add a premium feel. Under the hood, the Murano features a 260-horsepower V6 that is matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Nissan has been using the CVT in its vehicles longer than most automakers, but it also had more trouble building one that feels like a conventional automatic transmission.

Nissan is experimenting with self-cleaning car paint now has a new gimmick: the glow-in-the-dark car. Nissan’s European operation says it’s one of the first automakers to have glow-in-the-dark paint. The electric Nissan LEAF featuring the new paint job luminously glows blue after nightfall. Scott created a product called Starpath, a coating that absorbs the sun’s rays during the day and  then glows from 8 to 10 hours after the sun goes down. The glowing paint goes perfectly with the LEAF model that is known as Nissan’s eco-car with low charging costs. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Super GT champion driver Tsugio Matsuda was officially announced as one of the GT-R LM NISMO drivers at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Matsuda was born in Kuwana, a town close the Suzuka Circuit and has had a passion for race car driving since a young age. He recalls often going to the track to watch the race events or even driving go carts around it. In an interview with Nissan, Matsuda reveals that he has always had a love for vehicles; as a child he collected car figurines and always hoped to find a job related to automobiles. In fact, he credits his career to the very first race he saw; stating that it was at that moment he realized he wanted to become a race car driver. When he reached middle school, Matsuda convinced his parents to let him start carting and only a few years later he joined the Suzuka Racing School Formula as a scholarship student. It was from then that his career took off and progressed to Formula 3 racing and above. “It’s been a dream of mine to race at Le Mans, and if I’m competing, then I aim to win. Moreover, I will do my best to ensure a great performance for all the fans following us. I am really excited to drive Nissan GT-R LM NISMO,” he said.

Nissan recently announced its improved financial results for the first nine months to December of last year. The Japanese automaker revealed that its operating profit rose to 417.9 billion yen in those nine months, representing a 5.2% margin on net revenues that climbed 11.1% to 8.09 trillion. Carlos Ghosn, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Nissan delivered solid financial results in the first nine months of the fiscal year, reflecting rising U.S. sales of our latest models and a normalizing yen-dollar exchange rate. We anticipate good full-year results as our product offensive and positive momentum in North America and Western Europe offsets volatility in other markets. Given these trends, along with the continuing impact of currency movements and cost controls, we are today revising upward our full-year financial forecast.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
