NISSAN ELECTRIC CARS.

Nissan plans to start production of a battery-powered car in Smyrna by 2012 and a program is launched to build a network of recharging stations. Electric cars could help China and other countries reduce their dependency on oil but the government must provide incentive to make the shift, Nissan,  CEO Carlos Ghosn said.

Car makers need backing as they respond to the growing consensus among consumers that zero-emission vehicles are necessary to cope with the environmental crisis, Ghosn told an auto forum in Shanghai. “With electric power, countries would no longer have to rely on one single commodity — crude oil — to supply all their transportation needs,” he said. “For many countries that are net importers of crude oil, such as China, that is a strategic consideration.” Ghosn, who is also president of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, said all major makers were investing in hybrid, clean diesel, electric cars and not one felt “they could stay on the sidelines.”

Japan’s Nissan Motor and its partner Renault SA of France plan to release their Leaf electric car, which runs on a reusable lithium-ion battery, in the United States and Japan next year and globally in 2012, he said. He pointed out that the US, French and Japanese governments were already offering about $7,500 to consumers who bought zero-emission cars.

“The Chinese government is conscious of the fact that in order to promote electric cars they have to give something to the consumer, because there’s no way electric cars are going to become mass marketed products unless you give something to the consumer,” Ghosn said.

A researcher for China’s State Council Development Research Centre, said electric car development should be a priority for China, which was last year the world’s second largest importer of oil. “The cheap oil era has come to an end,” Chen told auto industry executives, academics and reporters attending the forum at the China Europe International Business School.

NISSAN 370z

The Nissan 370Z is a sports car manufactured by Nissan Motors. It was announced on October 29, 2008 and was first shown at an event in Los Angeles ahead of the 2008 Greater LA Auto Show and before being officially unveiled at the show itself. The Nissan 370Z is the sixth-generation of the Nissan Z-car line, succeeding the 350Z. The other name of the Nissan 370z is known as Fairlady in Japan.

In this 370z, Power delivery to the rear wheels comes through a new 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters or 6-speed manual transmission which features the world’s first synchronized downshift rev-matching system or SynchroRev Match There is no debate, however, about the best looking convertible Z – that trophy sits squarely on the 370Z Roadster’s mantle. The shorter, wider 370Z Roadster, however, works fabulously.

Nissan brought along some regular 370Z Coupes for us to drive side-by-side and you honestly don’t notice an acceleration hit when going from coupe to convertible. In fact, the Roadsters ran with the Coupes just fine. However, you do notice how much more thrilling everything is when the top is dropped. The car suddenly feels more charged, more electric, more alive.
