The less there is of something, the more you want it. That is one of the many unwritten human principles that keep the world going. It could be said that it is applicable to, pretty much, anything. Especially when it comes to cars. It is a known fact that there is a limited amount of GT-R NISMO’s which are made every year. And the number of those that go to U.S. is even more limited.
October 21, 2014 turns out to be rather important for Nissan and even more memorable and significant for W

The misfortune happened to an extremely tuned Nissan GT-R GT800+ Turbo Drive (over 800HP) with 327 km/h (203 mph). The vehicle was accelerating crazily at the highway and just after it passed the 200 mph barrier, the unthinkable occurred. The front right Dunlop Sport Maxx GT600 tire exploded

Nissan’s new Forward Emergency Braking technology works like Bats do. Consider that bats fly in the pitch black but rarely, if ever, hit anything. And some types of bats can catch insects while flying in the dark. To do this, bats they emit very high frequency sounds and use sonar, analyzing how the signals bounce off other objects, to give them an accurate grasp on distances and locations. All of this in the pitch dark.
The latest technology in Nissans uses similar techniques to analyze cert
