Those from Nissan will present their new car at Geneva Motor Show 2012, so that the Nissan concept unveiled a new concept called Invitation, so we “invite” you out there to look to the future of the small class model proposed by the Japanese.

For the European market and for the small class model, Nissan speaks us about a moderate success. So, the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, will be gratulati with a concept which, undoubtely, in the spring with a better adapted looming onto the automotive markets and on the Old Continent we will find on the roads the new: Invitation Nissan Concept.
From first sight, Nissan Concept Invitation “invites” you to make a tour with the car. Invitation MPV looks rather flat, continuing the idea of ​​notes, with a generous glass area, a more pushed towards to the windscreen and the rear window pretty close to vertical.

On the stylistic level of this new concept from those of Nissan brand, the front of the Invitation has a curiously aggressive image, but consistent, managed to give the car a fresh brand identity. The side of the car is a mix of straight lines, which differ on every side and has rounded edges, which prints more nerve on the car.
Moreover, the curved edge stylish on the rear side ends with a complex shape, reminiscent of Volvo XC60 style, for example. The tailgate is not as bulky as it seems for a concept and is more narrow with trapezoidal discharges, which gives a note of sporty to the Invitation Nissan.

Japanese coupe performance, the additional modified circuit is available on the Old Continent. It will be sold in the UK, to the dismay of the Europeans racer.

Nissan had a busy year, especially if we look at the sports segment of the Japanese brand models. After the facelift’s of GT-R, Juke Juke-R Nismo and after the concept, we are dealing with a new variation on strong Japanese cars. Nissan GT-R Track Pack, designed for fun reserved exclusiv for circuits, leaving the borders of his native country, to be available in Europe.
However, reasons to be happy about this decision is not too much and that, because the car will not be sold in Europe, so it remains a pleasure exclusively for the British. The justification is simple, both Japanese and English drive on the “wrong” side of the road, which eliminated the problem of adapting the steering column.

Nissan GT-R Track Pack received a new suspension, adapted to the radical paths of the characteristic circuits and braking system have special cooling facilities, located in the bumper, very useful in times when the discs even reach to 100 degrees Celsius.
To be medium which is addressed especially to have a favored agility, Nissan GT-R Track Pack will have no other seat and specificity of the model will be marked by the name plate located on the center console. Under the hood, nothing new, since the engine power has just been increased to 550 horsepower, from the version number of its older Nissan brother.

The first photo of the Nissan Juke has a new official movie from the extreme GT-R crossover, which will arrive at Tokyo Motor Show 2011.

It seems that Nissan Juke title hunt the world’s most unusual crossover and the date is clear, because we refer to the Japanese design. After official confirmed the existence of JUKE-R, Nissan officials revealed all details about the first super-crossover in the world and they even shown the first photos of the production line machine. Thus, the little Juke received from the collaboration between Nissan Technical Center combined company and RML in Europe an enormous 3.8 liter V6 and 520 hp, used usually for the monstrous Nissan GT-R and the change is evident, so that the exterior and interior of the crossover was totally upgraded.

Massive Rays 20 inch wheels, painted black, to suit consists of two segments with spoiler and dual exhaust, this boosts the engine’s noise on every Nissan Juke-R. Inside, the dashboard has been adapted to a specific new car, because signs and 7 inch LCD display, which was taken directly from the GT-R. Sport seats with five point safety belts and a car visible attachment with FIA safety standards, so that it provides rigidity to its nearest full potential. This is the clue that Nisan Juke-R is only a concept that will be produced in only two copies. One will have a the wheel located on the left side and the other will follow Japanese law, with the right drive. The first tests of the unconventional Juke-R will be completed in November and will record its debut in this year’s Tokyo Motor Show.

This could be the hottest of summer FITA 2011: the new Nissan Murno CrossCabriolet, the first in this new niche – the machinery of all crossver convertibles.

First official picture of the new Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, that we had the opportunity to see before the inauguration at Los Angeles Auto Show 2010. And we can say that it was not disappointed.

Now, here is the new Murano CrossCabriolet from all angles and the official data about a unique model, which seeks to usher in a new niche: the crossovers convertible.
The version from which, Murano CrossCabriolet give back the pair of doors and the metal ceiling. Muzzle remains broadly the same, but the convertible version of Murano facelift does not address aggression, maintaining an impression of fluidity, even femininity.

The rear of the car is heavily modified, with boomerang type taillights reminiscent of Nissan 370Z immediately. The roof is the made of fabric, hiding under a dedicated cover. Access to the trunk may seem strange, because of a very high mini-door, leaving a space of 215 liters loading for the convertible while driving, respectively 348 liters with the roof on.
It may seem strange the idea of ​​segmentation in two of the rear window roof, solution dictated by the method of folding fabric roof. Rear visibility is very low, but the higher window provide better brightness, at least for those on the rear seats.

Those from Nissan managed to not distort the profile of Murano CrossCabriolet with any central security disgraceful options and the mid-line windows fluid continues to rear.

Japanese manufacturer Nissan launches a new model, the result of the confluence of the SUV’s from the compact class. Qashqai’s development began three years ago, so that the first result was seen at the Geneva Motor Show a year later.

The concept showed that Nissan is ready to offer a new solution for buyers tired of typical cars from the compact segment. The final version was presented at the Paris Motor Show, where the new model could be seen as the main attraction of the Nissan stand.

With a ground clearance of 20 cm and angles of attack of 19.2 respectively 30.2 degrees, provides a crossing over obstacles better than a regular compact, but not sufficient to achieve the performance of a specialized 4×4. Platform on which the new model will be used in future to achieve a SUV compact for the Renault, whose prototype Koleos was presented also at the World Cup in Paris.

Qashqai’s design is the result of specialized departments from England and Japan. The aspect of an athlete in motion is the consequence of its compact dimensions and harmonious lines. Viewed from the side, the new Nissan reveals its genes by similarity with another  Japanese car, Murano. The back is framed by lights located at a considerable height, away from any small collision in urban traffic.

The interior is typical for Nissan: the steering wheel with a central straight spoke and air conditioning controls are specific for the Japanese. The driver is greeted by a high center console, carefully designed to provide the best ergonomic.

In autumn is not just starting school and the academic year, but is also starting the urban road congestion on thresholds that you can provoke anxiety.

However, beyond fireworks such as feint on other side of the streets and avoiding intersections, it might not hurt someone that through the center of urban agglomerations, vehicles specially designed for the primarily roads to move on this type of traffic, instead of Hummer, Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi L200 and other large SUV’s.

Conceived with this idea, the B segment has a generous offer. From now on, for the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Chevrolet Aveo, Opel Corsa, Hyundai i20, Skoda Fabia Toyota Yaris and another competitor were added a new challenger, the new Nissan Micra. In fact, beside the previous generation, it’s almost an entirely new model designed by the brand Nissan on the V platform. The purpose of this machine is meant simple and useful: to ease the maximum driving through the city.

Among the design level, it brings somehow with its predecessor, but the similarities stop there. Engineers had in plan to reduce the cars weight, so they dropped the double roof, drawing instead on the roof two boomerang-shaped grooves. Due to its concave shape, these stabilize the thin roof at higher speeds, reducing the body resonance.

Aerodynamics was the main feature envisaged, in order to achieve a fuel consumption as low as possible. After a few days when the specialists took a test, even inside the city, they can say that this target was reached. The model was equipped with a three-cylinder petrol engine, 1.2 liters and 80Hp, which has a maximum torque of 110 Nm.
