Nissan Pulsar Nismo RS Variant Previewed

2014 Nissan Pulsar was revealed last month. The C-segment vehicle sports a design which has been inspired by this of the Qashqai, X-Trail and Note. It was basically created to redefine what cars in its design look like – inside and out. The model is packed with a range of accessible and practical technologies, offers large cabin space as well as energetic and athletic styling. Today we found information at roadmag.co.uk (link featured below) that Nissan is planning for the Pulsar to have a Nismo RS version. On the site was also published an image of the future vehicle.

As we can see from the picture, the vehicle has the typical for Nismo line design characteristics: white exterior paint finish, red accents and sportier on road presence. It has a V-shaped grille surrounding the badge, headlights angled and virtually identical to those of Qashqai, as well as LED headlights and new engines.

The entry level Pulsar hatch can be powered by the 1.2-litre DIG-T petrol unit, which generates an output of 115 hp (85 kW), or the 1.5-litre dCi that produces 110 hp (80 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. There is also an even more powerful 190 hp (140 kW) 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol unit.

If there is a Nismo version, then we definit4ely expect to see at least a boost to the latter engine, or in other words – more than 190 horsepower! Rumors are saying that we should expect an output around 200 hp. In addition, the Nismo RS will also feature a mechanical limited-slip differential on the front axle. But till then we have to wait for Nissan’s official confirmation.

TOP 10 Fastest Cars 2013 [part 2 correct version]

Watching these videos always giving me creeps (in a good way). To share the epic moments with the insane petrol heads is really satisfying. It is a real pleasure to see the joy in their eyes and the fulfilled expectations.

One of the best moments in the video is, when the driver of the extremely-powerful Nissan GT-R AMS Alpha 12+ screams “Goooooo” (in Russian) at a speed of over 310 km/h (193 mph). And the car really goes… like a lightning bolt.

The preparations, the hard work, the joy and the adrenaline are just amazing. All maters when you cross the finish line and in those 20 seconds you feel completely free…

So, the update video features a new 2^nd place for Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera Underground Racing R2 Altechno driven by Leonid V., who managed to finish in 21.852 seconds, earlier last year. The same person is also the current record holder with the Lamborghini Gallardo Nera Exelixis / GTR RT / ZOD / SPP / GTT / Altechno / Syvecs – 1,850HP (1,360 kW). He managed to cross the finish line in 20.845 seconds with 409.09 km/h (254.3 mph).

It is difficult to describe the happening, you have to feel it!

Enjoy…

DeltaWing Four-Passenger Car Is Street-Legal

DeltaWing Technologies revealed information about its groundbreaking DeltaWing architecture. It is based on the philosophy of a highly aerodynamic and lightweight design, and draws inspiration from the currently competing in IMSA sports car road races. However, the car presented here is street-legal and has space for up to four-passengers. The published render image shows very unusual aerodynamic car design. It evokes motion, energy and speed

The innovative DeltaWing shape can significantly reduce aerodynamic drag, thus helping increase fuel efficiency. Another highlight is the considerably less overall mass. It was achieved via the use of lightweight steel, aluminum and advanced composite materials.

At the front, this vehicle features narrow-track front wheelbase, which incorporates smaller width tires. The rear-engine design places the center of gravity far to the rear. As a result – less weight on the front axles reduce the rolling resistance and further increase fuel efficiency. Handling is extraordinarily agile, as proven by the narrow front track of the DeltaWing race car.

In fact, DeltaWing Technologies has the goal to deliver fuel efficient, green technologies that benefit everyday drivers and reduce oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This will be achieved via reduced weight, increased powertrain efficiency, decreased energy consumption, and improved aerodynamics.

DeltaWing’s vehicle architecture is 35 percent lighter and requires 35 percent less horsepower. It also consumes 35 percent less fuel. The current performance targets are 0-60 mph in about six seconds, 130 mph top test-track speed, and up to 70 mpg with a small displacement, four-cylinder engine producing between 85 and 110 horsepower.
