Nissan has officially announced that the Nissan GT-R will be making its way back to Nordschleife and race in the Nurburgring 24 Hours. The race will be held on June 21^st and 22^nd and is considered to be one of the toughest endurance races in the world – known as the ultimate test of man and machines as they compete on the daunting Nurburgring Nordschleife. For the first time in several years, Nissan and NISMO have put together a team of top races from its global stable for one chance in the event. Nissan Super GT Racers, Michael Krumm and Kazuki Hoshino will join forces with NISMO Global Exchange Driver Katsumasa Chivo an Tetsuya Tanaka. Krum said, “Driving a Nissan GT-R at the Nurburgring is pure pleasure – to have the opportunity to battle for top positions makes this year’s race very special for me. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a few years now, and it looks like this could be the shot for a good position. Having said that, anything can happen at the Nordschleife – sow we also need luck of course. For the young drivers in our team it will be a huge challenge. The Nordschleife is the most challenging circuit in the world and when you add rain and fog to the equation, things can get even more uncomfortable. I’m sure they will all do a great job, as everyone has been prepared by Nissan and NISMO very well.”

At the New York Auto Show last week, Nissan introduced the
beautiful 2015 Murano. The third generation Murano was closely analyzed by
journalists and available for people to judge for themselves while it was being
showcased. According to Shiro Nakamura, Nissan’s Senior Vice President and
Chief Creative Officer said that there are some critical elements in this new
model that make it better than ever before. Nissan has improved the
aerodynamics of the vehicle as well as used different-lighter materials that
have ‘opened the doors to a new era of space travel.’ The new Murano model may
have a new bold style, but nothing has changed under the hood. The same 3.5
liter V6 producese 260 HP;  the XTronic
transmission allows you to switch from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive.

At the Beijing Motor Show earlier this
week, Nissan showcased their latest concept car for auto enthusiasts to
speculate over – the Nissan Lannia is a fastback sedan with a small rear end.
The exterior styling demonstrated to be quite popular and gained a lot of
attention in Beijing. “It was designed by Chinese, built by Chinese, for the
Chinese people, and ultimately for the world,” said Andy Palmer, Nissans’
Product Manager. Palmer further explained that it this design was influenced by
post 80’s trendsetters and is considered to be a sedan theory breaker –
meaning, Nissan plans to redefine the components that make up a sedan today.
Andy Palmer did not confirm that the concept car would actually make it onto
the sales floors across the world, but he didn’t rule it out completely, which
leads us to believe that this concept car might actually make it.

This past weekend, the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 was seen speeding by
during the first round of the 2014 Blancpain Endurance Series in Italy – No. 80
was driven by Alex Buncombe, Nick McMillen, and Florian Strauss and behind the
wheel of No. 35 was three training race car drivers, who took turns in between
laps, Mark Shulzhitskiy, Miguel Faisca, and Katsumasa Chiyo. Nissan is proud to
announce that they will all make it to the next GT series. Even after having
several technical problems, the young men were able to finish up strong and
compete in what turned out to be a much more competitive race than anticipated.
“All six drivers performed really well in what was one of the hardest rounds of
the championship as Monza is such a fast track- now I’m looking forward to
seeing how well they go at the next round at Silverstone” said Bob Neville, the
Nissan GT Academy  Team RJN director.

During a time of rapid growth in the
Philippines’ market, Nissan has committed to boost sales in the Southeast Asian
region. Nissan has taken several actions to spur growth in this area by
introducing them to global models, and a unified national sales company. These
steps will encourage industry sales, imports, and distribution. Moreover, the
introduction of new models will be critical in this market because Nissan’
bestselling sedans are expected to be the greatest contributor to their plan –
the Nissan Altima and Sylphy. Nissan has done some research on the demographics
of the area and found that only 1 in 30 people own a vehicle, so there is
definite room to grow and an untouched market.

Nissan has recently revealed a sneak peak video of the 2015 Murano
that is due to debut in a couple of days at the New York International Auto
Show. The all-new 2015 Murano will be built in our very own country, at Nissan
Canton, Mississippi Plant. This will open plenty of opportunities for the
Canton Plant – it will be the global source for Murano production which will
create incredible export opportunities. The Murano will not only be an
incredible update from its last model, it will also reveal the new Nissan
design language for future Nissan vehicles.

Nissan Energy Management Team has been
hard at work searching through miles of tubing in the compressed air system at
their U.S. production plant – they have repaired enough leaks to save 11,300
megawatt hours of energy last year. John Martin, Nissan’s Senior Vice
President, said, “We saved enough energy to power more than 700 homes for a
year, offset the greenhouse gas emissions of nearly 2,800 tons of landfill
waste or better yet, to drive the all-electric Nissan LEAF around the earth
more than 40,000 times.” Proud of Nissan’s Energy Management Team, Martin
expresses his concern over a common industrial challenge. They estimate that
more than twenty percent of compressed air that is used in production
operations was wasted through air leaks. “Thanks to the hard work by our Energy
Management Team, we have implemented energy-reduction projects, like the air
leak detection program, that helped us earn the prestigious U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency 2014 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence
Award for the third consecutive year” concluded Martin.

In the month of March, Nissan sold 2,507 Leafs – rising a 12 percent increase over March 2013 where Nissan sold 2,236 Leafs – but it doesn’t stop there. March was such a great month for Nissan, that in fact, it is the single highest March sales total for the Leaf since it went on sale in 2010. After having a tremendous month, the Leaf sales in the U.S. rise to 47,306 – increasing the number of plug-in electric vehicles on the U.S roads to cross 200,000 at some point this month. The Nissan Leaf has had several competitors, like the Chevy Volt, oversell their sales numbers but Nissan continues their plan to boost Leaf sales throughout the rest of the year. If the Chevy volt continues to have stagnant monthly sales, the leaf will quickly become the plug-in electric car with the highest U.S Sales to date.

In order to achieve the Top Safety Pick Plus rating, a current year model must achieve high results in the institute’s crash tests – this includes a test which stimulates hitting another vehicle, tree, or light pole with only one corner of the car. Furthermore, the car must have a crash prevention system as on option including automatic braking or front collision warning.  Only vehicles who offer these options are eligible for this rating, if vehicles without these options perform well they get the second-level ranking of Top Safety Pick.  The Nissan Rogue was noted for several great things – the test report read, “In the small overlap test, the driver’s space was maintained reasonably well. Injury measures recorded on the dummy indicated low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.”
