GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR NISSAN

CLICK HERE TO READ ONLINE

Nissan has set an astonishing Guinness World Record for the fastest ever drift. The record was broken with a speed of 304.96 km/hr at a 30 degrees angle using a specially-tuned MY16 Nissan GT-R. The record-breaking vehicle was developed with the support and coordination of Nismo specialists.

The vehicle was tuned to 1380HP, adapted so all the power went to the rear wheels and set up for agility, while maintaining stability- essential when performing such challenging feats.

“Once again, Nissan has broken a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title and has made international history for the fifth time in the Middle East,” said Samir Cherfan, Managing Director of Nissan Middle East.

NEW GT-R COMING TO TOWN

Whilst on the subject of the Nissan GT-R, it has been announced that an updated model will be coming to the UK in 2017. The vehicle was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, and highlights include an exciting new look both inside and out, as well as major driving-performance enhancements and key new features.

SPIED: NEXT- GENERATION MICRA

The next generation Micra is due for release in 2017 and for the first time it has been spotted out and about. The supermini is set to debut towards the end of this year with a radical new look and more technology.

The latest model will see a major platform update and is likely to use the allnew CMF-B small car platform architecture shared with Renault.

Despite the vehicle being plastered in gaffer tape it is clear to see the exterior design is heavily influenced by the Sway concept which debuted in Geneva last year. The Sway concept was designed with

the objective of shaking up the compact hatchback segment. This was achieved by swooping lines, striking nose, elegantly simple interior and bold use of sophisticated colours.

The new Micra will be longer, lower and wider than ever as well as incorporating a sporty look. This means there will be a lot of extra interior space, both for passengers and the boot. It is expected to have a futuristic cabin design, with autonomous braking and smartphone connectivity features.

Details of the engine range are currently unknown, however its expected turbocharged petrols and diesels will be available. We are expecting the car to be revealed at a Motor Show in the second half of 2016.
