Report: Nissan to Resurrect 240SX as a Genesis Coupe, FT-86 Competitor |
|
Dec 14, 2009 - 4:52 PM - by Administrator

Recently we've heard several rumors about Nissan resurrecting its 240SX model, with each report becoming more credible. The latest comes from the folks at InsideLine, who say Nissan is in fact planning to bring back the 240 (known as the Silvia in Japan), which will be aimed at the younger and less affluent side of the market, but those who still want a proper rear-drive sports car.
The new model would aim to compete with everything from the Hyundai Genesis Coupe to Toyota's upcoming FT-86 rear-drive sports car. We've also reported recently that both Volkswagen and Kia are planning vehicles for this segment of the market.
Based on a shorter version of Nissan's FR-L platform that is used for both the 370Z and Infiniti G, this sporty coupe would be rear drive, with four seats and use a turbocharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. Power should be rated at roughly 200-hp. A non-turbocharged option will also be part of the plan, as a high-volume model. Weight is expected to be in the 2,800 lb range, givin ghe car a 0-60 mph time of six or seven seconds.
The design of the car is to be "loosely" based on the Foria Concept car (above). We certainly hope it is loose, as the Foria doesn't hold a candle to the FT-86 in the style department – which is usually one area where Nissan excels.
If the project does get the go-ahead (which we sincerely hope it does), look for a new 240 (we hope they call it the Silvia) in 2011 or 2012.

Report: Next Generation Nissan GT-R Could Be a 600-hp Hybrid |
|
Dec 11, 2009 - 3:25 PM - by Administrator

Nissan's next generation of the iconic GT-R may be a hybrid sports car. According to a report in Japan's Best Car magazine, the R36 GT-R could use a 440-hp gasoline engine mated to a 160-hp electric motor. This would allow the car to output as much as 600-hp in some modes, while attaining impressive fuel economy in another mode.
To us this sounds a lot like the Infiniti Essence Concept, which debuted earlier this year at the Geneva Auto Show and has continued to captivate the automotive world since. It is powered by a 440-hp twin-turbo direct-injection 3.7-liter V6 engine and an electric motor to make roughly 600-hp. And just recently Infiniti execs admitted that there is still a possibility that the Essence could make it to dealerships in the future. Perhaps it was an early look at the next GT-R.
