Nissan GT-R / Skyline

Image
A s many of you might have already noticed, I'm a big Nissan follower, and a big GT-R fan. Why? Simple, as I grew up the family car was a Nissan. Ever since I have loved Nissan's. But, the Nissan GT-R it's such a beastly car with so much raw power on a V6 and an outstanding performance, that it is one of my favorite cars. Only four men assemble the GT-R's engines. They are known as Takumi (no, not the Initial D Takumi). These Takumi are master craftsmen who perfected their skills over years of dedication. Each Takumi inspects for quality and precision. Each GT-R engine has a plaque with the signature of the Takumi who assembled it. Car lovers and enthusiasts know or might have heard at least of the Nurburgring, or at least you might have raced it in Gran Turismo or something. The GT-R made an astonishing 7:08:679 in 2013,making the GT-R the fastest production car in the world. In 1989 the Skyline GT-R (BNR32) was named Godzilla by an Australian moto

Meanwhile, In Puerto Rico, on May 28, '17 there was what is known here as a "Volkyshow", and that's no other thing that a Volkswagen Meet, to put it someway. A car show of Volkswagens and some old muscle cars.  I'm slowly uploading the pictures to Instagram, but here are some of

Eclipse Cross

M itsubishi has not revealed many new cars besides the Mirage and Mirage G4. We have seen several concepts, but there they remain, concepts. And although its new crossover design does not share a design line with a sports car of the past (and by this I mean nothing more than Eclipse) somehow have managed to unearth and use the name of one of the most iconic sports car name of the brand (besides the Evo, of course) the Eclipse. Not only have they used the name Eclipse, but they are using it in a Crossover, hence their name Cross, which the fan community of the Eclipse line consider a disrespect to the name. (Pictures of Eclipse Generations at the end of this post) The Eclipse, in its years, followed the line of high performance cars before they decided to eliminate the Eclipse in 2012. Now the big question is: is it a crossover of high performance? The answer is very simple. NO . The Eclipse Cross is not a high-performance crossover. Its size can be compared to that of the Jeep Com
