While you can argue the Nissan GTR is a road car, I see it most of the time on drag strips and not on track days. I'm not really sure why, as it is a great road car, but man, is it a beast on a drag strip. However, I’ve also seen it lose a lot to Teslas on Drag strips, which is why the announcement of the Electric GTR with 1,300 HP is so exciting. Nissan is taking the fight back to Tesla.

Electric automotive technology isn't necessarily a new thing, but it has become substantially more popular in recent years as brands push to lower their overall carbon footprint. A conventional electric car design possesses far fewer moving parts , making the overall drivetrain a lot more efficient when compared to your average ICE design. Couple this with the fact that you don't need any fossil fuels to power an EV, and you'll find that this newer technology is a lot more of a logical choice for new automotive designs. Of course, this puts the debate of which configuration is more enjoyable to the side, as EVs generally have a reputation for being dull and soulless.

While the world moves more and more towards an eco-friendly future, certain aspects of the automotive industry suffer. As emission restrictions tighten and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) metrics become harder and harder for manufacturers to meet, engine sizes are becoming smaller in order to meet those goals. That's why we've seen so many six-cylinder engines drop to four-pots, while V8s have been downgraded (or upgraded depending on where you stand) to twin-turbocharged sixes.

Despite the extreme volatility in pricing over the last few years, used cars are still an excellent way to save money on your next vehicle purchase. That said, the sweet feeling of getting a good deal on a used car can go sour pretty quickly when things start breaking and expensive maintenance bills pile up. Consumer Reports (CR) recently compiled a list of the best used car models, polling its members to determine the vehicles with the strongest reliability and other attributes, and some of the higher-ranked models might surprise you.

You're probably wondering how in the world we can claim a Toyota is more luxurious than a purpose-built Mercedes-Benz S-Class. We can't blame you either, as the Toyota in question isn't sold anywhere outside its home country of Japan. Those in the know may realize what we're on about, so we'll quit beating around the proverbial bush and cut to the chase.

The 2025 RS3 is making the headlines for the usual reasons. The compact performance car gets a mid-cycle update bringing exterior styling tweaks, a flatter steering wheel, and carbon bucket seats. But there are some changes not visible to the naked eye. No, we're not talking about the angrier exhaust, which now delivers a "more voluminous and even more distinctive" soundtrack. Audi says the car smells better now. Seriously.

While the Infiniti QX80 led the way for Nissan's new generation of full-size SUVs, the main brand is still getting its own version. Still called Armada, it will continue to be the more pragmatic and off-road-focused model. In fact, this generation more than ever, now that it has a Pro-4X trim like Nissan's other trucks.

10 American Cars That Set The Standard For Automotive Excellence

We've been waiting for a next-generation Nissan GT-R for quite some time now, as the current example has been available as a new model for the last 17 years. This makes it one of the oldest new cars currently available and the longest production run for a performance car of this caliber. While it may be a low-volume seller, Nissan confirms that it continues to sell all the models it makes, which is an impressive feat considering they cost more than $120,000 before options and extras. The brand has hinted that a next-generation model is imminent and that we can expect to see it before the end of this decade, which is still a good few years away.
