First mass-produced electric cars take to the streets of Africa


Delegates to COP17 global climate conference travel in zero emission vehicles. For the first time ever, a fleet of mass-produced, zero-emission vehicles have taken to the streets of Africa.

A dozen electric cars from the Renault-Nissan Alliance highlighted the benefits of green transportation and provided a zero-emission shuttle services for delegates at the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa, Nov. 28-Dec. 9. The 17th annual Conference of Parties (better known as COP17) aims to “stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system.”

The highly acclaimed Nissan LEAF and the Renault Fluence ZE, two of the most affordable zero-emission cars ever produced, were on the streets as shuttles for COP17 delegates. They are also available for test drives.

CarzPage Review: Gozilla Skyline Nissan GT-R 2012

nissangtr_2012-carzpageYou can see the difference? No? Come, look really closely. In fact, do not bother, because although this is a thoroughly revised 2012 model year Nissan GT-R looks, there is absolutely identical to the 2011 model year.

Thus, the Nissan GT-R is still huge and brutal and undeniably Japanese. And now it’s even faster, more capable and more entertaining.
Nissan GT-R (2012): What’s new?

The word “entertaining” is what the GT-R is a machine such Marmite. Many people see it has a super-sophisticated all-wheel drive system, a transmission efficiency minimum-input/maximum and read the improbable acceleration numbers and lap times and take on this GT-R is everything quickly and without participation; a car that needs no skill and offers no reward other than bragging pub. More power to persuade is never that vocal group that the GT-R is a real hero car and a dazzling experience.

The cold, hard facts are that this 2012 GT-R was ground in each area: for the first time since its introduction, the GT-R 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine is mechanical and not just by a new configured ECU and uprated exhaust package.

All in the name of more throttle response and more power the higher rev range – it has heads, sodium filled valves, new, a revised intake system revised.

The shocks have new programming language, the springs are revised, the transmission shifts more quickly and cleanly, the end wall is structurally stiffer … The GT-R has even different spring rates and rear suspension geometry from one side to the other to the driver’s weight into account. It is a typically meticulous job of chief engineer of the GT-R, Mizuno-san and his team of GT-R possessed.
