Cars have been dull for too long. Mainstream machines might perform perfectly from A to B... but sometimes drivers want to take the non-conformist route... Qazana shows that mind-numbing motoring could be a thing of the past. But Qazana also reinforces Nissan's position as a pioneer of the Crossover, building on the success of the Murano - now in its second generation, the Qashqai and recently int...

DETROIT (Jan. 7, 2007) - Nissan today unveiled two new vehicles at a press conference at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The fifth- generation Silvia (S13) - descended from the first-generation CSP311, launched in March 1965 - was introduced on May 17, 1988.

A total of five R90CP/CK cars took part in the 1990 Le Mans race, entered by teams from Japan, the US, and Britain. The NPTI team, which contested the US IMSA Series, ran a pair of R90CKs. When the results were in, No.83 had come in 4th in the qualifier but retired in the final race, while No.84 (B. Earl, M. Roe, S. Millen) was 25th in the qualifier and 17th in the main event.

In the 1986 Le Mans, the Nissan (NISMO) team entered a pair of Group C cars. Sadly, the top Japanese machine in the qualifier, the #23 Nissan R86V Nichira (K. Hoshino, K. Matsumoto, A. Suzuki), was forced to retire. However, the #23 Nissan R85V Amada (Masahiro Hasemi, T. Wada, J. Weaver) attracted attention when it came in 16th overall in its debut race.

The F10 was launched in September 1974. This particular vehicle was the highest grade model, a works car based on the GX Twin (with SU twin-carb engine). It was used in photo shoots for the Yellow Cherry catalog. However, because Nissan retired from racing, it has never been in an actual competition, only being driven by Masahiro Hasemi in a demo run for Race de Nippon 1976 in Tsukuba.

In November 1971, 240Z with 2,400cc engine included in the Fairlady Z lineup in Japan. The top-of-the-line model, the 240ZG, featured a 190mm long nose, headlight covers and over-fenders as standard. This car is the test car for the Omori factory, which had an L28 engine with crossflow combustion chambers.

Having won the 1969 Japan GP with the R382, Nissan began preparations for a new machine to compete in the 1970 Japan GP. The result was the R383, dubbed ''700 horsepower!'' Unfortunately, the 1970 Japan GP was cancelled and the R383, without a chance to demonstrate its prodigious ability, became a machine of legend. This commemorative car is a reconstruction (replica) used for motor shows.

Thinking that victories on the racing circuit would spur sales, Prince mounted the G7 engine from the Gloria into the Skyline and produced the required 100 units to gain official approval. The car (launched on the 1st May 1964) was entered in the 2nd Japan GP in 1964. A Porsche 904 won the race, but Skylines monopolized the 2nd to 6th places. It soon became famous for its performance and developme...

Based on the Price 380 made a year earlier, the R380 set new speed records in 1965 and 1967. First, on October 6/14, 1965, the R380-I established 5 world records. Then, on October 8,1967, this commemorative car - Type II (modified type II) - set no fewer than 7 international records (50km, 50 miles, 100km, 100 miles, 200km, 200 miles, 1 hour) on a course in Yatabe, Ibaraki Pref. (driver: T. Yokoya...

The fourth-generation Skyline, the C110 (nickname: Ken & Mary), was launched in November 1972, but the GT-R version was launched in January of the following year. With its 6-cylinder in line DOHC 24-valve S20 engine, it was the first domestic car to have disc brakes front and rear. This advanced engineering made it very popular, but production was halted at 197 units after stricter exhaust emissio...

Despite retaining the form of the production car, this monster machine is a "Super Silhouette," a race category introduced into Japan in 1979. Driven by H. Yanagida, this Bluebird won the championship title twice, in 1980 and 1982. In the 1983 Fuji GC series, it won 3 rounds out of 4. It also won the Tsukuba event, displaying overwhelming power.

Nissan started making Group C cars in 1985. At first a Nissan engine would be mounted in a foreign-made chassis (March Engineering or Lola Cars International), and entered in the WEC (World Endurance Championship) and Japan’s own endurance series. The R91CP, however, was entirely Nissan-made, and - driven by Masahiro Hasemi, K. Hoshino, and Toshio Suzuki - it captured the title in the 1992 Daytona...

The MID 4 (type I), which was unveiled at the Frankfurt Show in September 1985, combined the functions of both show model and experimental car. The designers aimed at creating a 4WD Super Sports model with maximum maneuverability. Later, the type II was unveiled in 1987 with modifications to improve efficiency, such as a vertically mounted engine.

The seventh-generation Skyline (R31) was launched in August 1985 and this model is well remembered as being the first to reintroduce the 6-cylinder DOHC engine (discontinued with the C110). In May 1986, the coupe GTS appeared, and in August 1987, after a minor change, the coupe GTS-R (RB20DET-R: 210PS engine) - based on Group A race specifications - was sold as a limited edition (800 units).
