The R35 Nissan GT-R is turning 16 years old on December 2023. Put another way, the legendary Japanese supercar has been in production longer than all of its all-wheel-drive Skyline GT-R predecessors combined (the range was produced from 1989 to 2002). Although the R35 still has what it takes to do battle with the latest European supercars, its time will eventually come to an end. And perhaps, the next generation of this iconic nameplate can be found in the Nissan Hyper Force concept electric veh

Nissan Philippines recently allowed us to test its newest pair of sports cars, the 2024 Nissan GTR and the recently launched Nissan Z, around the Clark International Speedway. This allowed us to see how the vehicles would handle around a track and to see how much they have progressed over the years as the Japanese automaker also provided older versions of these vehicles, such as the 2021 GTR and the Nissan 370Z, to see just how much they have improved.

The R35 Nissan GT-R is a bit of a miracle in the automotive world – it’s been around for over 15 years. First introduced in 2007, the GT-R was the long-awaited replacement to the legendary R34 Skyline GT-R that had stopped production in 2002. In an industry where new cars tend to pop up every five years, the R35’s incredible longevity is perhaps a testament to its enduring design and performance. In fact, the 2024 Nissan GT-R now cranks out 565 PS and can do 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds – to

Ford Philippines saved the best for last, just in time for its silver anniversary celebration on November 2022. The company said in a press statement that it is holding the final leg of its Ford Island Conquest (FIC) test drive on Nov. 18-20, 2022. It will be conducted at Bonifacio High Street, in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
