Have you ever noticed how NBA basketball courts appear much larger, food appears much tastier, and cars appear much slower when watching TV? Visit an NBA game and you'll be shocked how small the court is, eat the burger pictured on the screen and you'll wish you hadn't, watch a Formula 1 race and you'll think you can handle an F1 car. Well, one of our ...

When it comes to fighting fire with fire, it doesn't get much hotter than watching these two heavyweight supercars go at it. Thankfully the crew at DragTimes decided to put together a "What If..." video to hypothetically find out if a 1,500 horsepower Nissan GT-R AMS Alpha 12+ has what it takes to beat a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in a side-by-side race ...

When a pair of Russian pilots wanted to set a local ice-speed record, they chose a stock Nissan GT-R for the task. Roman Rusinov, a Russian race car driver, and Andrey Leontjev, a Russian auto journalist, took Godzilla to Lake Baikal and ran it up to 294.8 kilometres per hour (182.8 miles per hour) across frozen stuff estimated to be 1.4 metres ...

The Godzilla insanity continues with new Nissan GT-R updates because, well, fast is never fast enough. Since the GT-R's launch six years ago it has largely remained the same, save for a few technical tweaks here and there. The most substantial upgrades so far arrived in 2011 by way of engine modifications, boosting power all the way up to 545 horsepower ...

As long as there are sacred cows, there will be heretics sharpening their knives in anticipation of the butchering.

Nissan has made three announcements, all of which intend to sharpen the global significance and sales of its NISMO performance arm. Calling it "a new era for NISMO as its global performance car and motorsports brand," Carlos Ghosn cut the ribbon on the new, larger, nicer NISMO headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. For the first time since the division was ...

Codemasters is promising all kinds of wunderbar things for Grid2 like "new standards for a racing multiplayer experience" and "the most visceral and exhilarating racing yet." The 24-karat test of those claims will have to wait until we can get controllers in our hands, but not for too much longer: The game will be shipping to stores on May 28 for the Xbox ...

Nissan is adding yet another tier to the GT-R hierarchy for 2014 with the GT-R Track Edition. Debuting at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, the bruiser ditches its back seat in the quest for a lower curb weight, and a set of more seriously bolstered front buckets keep occupants planted once the going gets twisty. The Nürburgring-developed Track Edition ...

Another year, another price hike for the ridiculously awesome Nissan GT-R. When the GT-R was introduced for the 2008 model year, it had a starting price of $81,900, increasing steadily each year up to $103,980 for 2013, and now Nissan has announced that the 2014 GT-R will have a base sticker price of $106,930 (*not including delivery and freight charges, ...
