Nissan’s Esflow Sports Car at Geneva Motor Show

Nissan is known as an electric two-seater, rear-wheel drive sports car at the Geneva Motor Show, the Esflow showing off.

The concept car uses the same lithium ion battery packs as five leaf, but claims to go a lot faster and more fun. Run the 0-62 mph claimed less than five seconds, but to travel with more care in the location it should handle 240 km (149 km) between charges.
The increase in the sheet that manages officially only 100 miles is the Esflow’s lightweight. Part of this comes from the aluminium and the “clean and open” cabin of Esflow.

The two sit in the car are sculpted in the rear bulkhead, rather than individually made of steel and padding. This makes you immobile, but Nissan says the steering wheel and pedals to electronically move the driver to a comfortable driving position found to enable.

Carz Supercar: Nissan 370Z GT Convertible

Nissan 370Z GT_convertible_2010What is it?

Nissan 370Z GT Convertible. The convertible version of the Nissan 370Z sports car. Like the coupe, the 370Z Roadster is shorter and wider than the old 350Z Droptop and is driven by a larger 3.7-liter V6, producing 326bhp.

Moreover, it is a pretty honest take on a standard sports car: rear-wheel drive, a large capacity naturally aspirated engine, rugged mechanical gear change and a soft top. Nissan 370Z GT Convertible

Here we find out how it is in the United Kingdom.

We know the 3.7-liter engine good for the 370Z and Infiniti EX37. It is ideal for precise six-speed manual transmission, you often find themselves bouncing off the rev limiter in the first three gears, as you make your way down the road.

The SynchroRev match that automatically point to downshift, it seems to remove one of the less troublesome aspects of driving, but it’s too easy to turn off, the button next to the gear lever.

The roof has an interior lining, which reduce little wind noise, but is a lot to improve the atmosphere in the cabin. With him down, that only the driver press a button and takes about 20 seconds, the car a bit of turmoil to drive vehicles. Nissan 370Z GT Convertible.

Nissan 370Z GT_convertible_2010_3Drivers, the open-top driving are often put up with to take some compromises, and as you would expect, the Roadster is simply not as stiff as the 370Z coupe love, but there is a much greater differences than between, say, a Porsche Boxster and Cayman.

The slower turn-in and represent the shimmering of the chassis in bumpy corners, the car never felt as complete as the coupe, even though, in what feels like a growing trend is to go for the rear to unwelcome if They are game for a laugh, as it is always together and predictable. Nissan 370Z GT Convertible.

You can use all those who live, but I found the constant squealing angrily as the glass of the windows, rubbing the rubber seals. Nissan 370Z GT Convertible.

The only way to cure this is to go with them has been slightly reduced, or better yet, fold the roof when the weather is kind to be.

Is it worth it?
Price: £33,200
That depends on what you want and what kind of person you are. If you are open-top fun is guaranteed that the car offers, but you must be aware of what you have to sacrifice in return.

Yet another Carz review: Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen 2010

NissanCubeMk3Gen3_2010_1It’s taken three generations, but the Nissan Cube’s funky Europe has finally made it through official channels. But it is a case of style over substance?
Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks a little less well, square. Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen 2010.

Yes, some styling of the older cars off the edge, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and is characterized by a mile to a parking lot full of boring old Polo. Let us be clear, though, while it looks radical, there is nothing spectacular about its engineering and there is only a torsion beam under the boot floor.

In fact, under the right angle is the same platform for the Micra, Note used minivan and Renualt Clio. The last time there was a seven-cubic-seater version, but there are no plans for a long wheel base cube that time, and not just because Nissan Parallelapiped does not sound quite so cool. The Cube is actually slightly smaller than the reference raffle, 120mm length and 70mm in wheelbase, but is 120mm greater.
It is a small town Japanese car, so there is probably one impaled 49cc turbo engine under the hood and a CVT box that whines like a whale. Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen 2010.

The engine is actually a reasonable 1.6 four-pot, deletes 108bhp and 113lb ft of torque. Not surprising, but enough to move the 1265kg cube in the city at a reasonable pace: 0-62mph takes 11.3sec.

NissanCubeMk3Gen_review_2010But you’re right, it’s a CVT is available (a £ 1200 option) for the entire Japanese experience and the tranny, let’s go for it. Base cars but did not receive a five-speed manual transmission. And from the summer of 2010 everything will be much less if the Japanese Qashqai 1.5 dCi’s important, but only with a six-speed box. It is powerful and economical, but not the CVT Petrol 40mpg and suits the character of the cube.
So you say that’s crossing a car does not stick? Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen 2010..

Right. The Cube makes driving fun, but all the pleasure derived from its styling, inside and out. The steering is more communicative than before, now the brakes (discs at both ends treated) powerful and competent. But feel the engine thrust is taken from the urban comfort zone and roll the high result pages in abundance in the body. Not fun in a hot hatch, or even mini, meaning. To ratchet up the pace and enjoy rather than the eyes of passers-by and marvel at the cool interior details. Stuck in city traffic, often stationary, and always carried within its borders, the Cube is much more fun than most small cars.
