In a hardcore performance car comparison where even the Dodge Viper was more track-oriented than usual, the Nissan won. Yes, it's the beginning of a new era. And the Nissan GT-R's speed, both in a straight line and around bends, helps to inflict damage in other sports cars' reputations. For your knowledge, the GT-R was followed by a Porsche 911 GT2 in this comparison ( Car & Driver August), while the Viper ACR finished third, ahead of a Corvette Z06. Check the 0-60mph times for these cars... Read Full Story
To those hoping that Car & Driver could squeak the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 under 3 seconds in the 0-60mph test, you'll have to wait till next month to find out. In C/D's October issue, there are actually quite a few test results of cars that are $25K now but were much more expensive in their day. Yeah, that means old test results. But it makes for interesting reading. For more 0-60 results, including Motor Trend's 0-60 testing this month, check the 0-60 label . If you're interested in fuel... Read Full Story
As the blindingly fast speeds of sports cars inch closer to the limits of physics, you'd think the pace of progress would start slowing down. Guess again. 400 horsepower was an astronomical sum at the turn of the century, yet here in today's world it takes 500 just to get noticed.
At this rate, no car will hold the crown for long, but it's still fun to take a snapshot of the moment, right? So we've compiled a list of the ten fastest production cars you can buy in 2008. The cars are ranked... Read Full Story

You will notice, there are a tonne of photos with the lights in the event turned on, I stuck around for a while after last call and dodged security guard after security guard until 45 minutes later 2 of them cornered me and literally walked me out of the show.

Nissan of Japan announced in late October 2007 the launch of their 2008 model GT-R. The company proudly claimed at the launch which took place at the Motor Show in Tokyo that the car had been developed showing perhaps an overdue appreciation of the natural forces of the Earth, with particular attention paid to the powers of inertia, gravity and particularly aerodynamics. Nissan translated the task of harboring these forces into a breathtaking new design that will maximum road holding control... Read Full Story
Posted by Anthony Carbone 29 Feb, 2008 Japanese Cars , Tech , Announcements , Randomness I find it extremely interesting to compare the sizes and designs between the 5th generation (1999–2002) R34 Skyline GT-R and the new R35 GT-R thanks to these photos from Jalopnik. It’s crazy how much larger the 2008 GT-R is when sized up behind (insert joke) the retired R34 Skyline. When the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R was released in 1989 , it was rated by many motoring magazines, as providing... Read Full Story
