Nissan Note Aura Nismo

After last year’s introduction of the third-generation hybrid car, the Nissan Note, the time has come for the company to launch its new model, the Nissan Note Aura Nismo.

We are not based on the Note model, but inspired by race cars. It is painted white with many red accents that continue inside. In addition to the changed exterior, the car also got a new bumper as well as a slightly smaller roof spoiler.

Inside, Recaro seats are upholstered in a combination of leather and fabric, with contrasting stitches. There is an embroidered logo on the head of the seat. On the dashboard, covered with leather, there is a digital cluster next to which is a large display.

The Note Aura Nismo is powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine with two electric motors. The engines produce 134 hp (99 kW) and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque. Comes with three driving modes and front-wheel drive (all-wheel drive optional). The car is mounted on 17-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

If you’re wondering how much the new Nismo will cost, Nissan has announced that, in Japan, the price of this model will be around $ 26,000 (2,869,900 yen).

Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Korean Special Series

These days are really busy in Lamborghini. Following the Countach model, which was recently unveiled, this time Lamborghini unveils the Aventador S Roadster Korean Special Series.

As the name suggests, the car was made for the South Korean market. It will come in just two colors, Green Ocno which represents “warm Korean sentiment” and a color that symbolizes “intelligence and wisdom,” the Blue Emera. The special graphics on the hood, doors, fenders and bonnet are inspired by Korean culture. More visible in the purple specimen, where they are painted red, the graphics represent patterns from traditional Korean windows.

“This special series further highlights the importance of the Korean super sports car market for Lamborghini. Featuring design elements that symbolize the rich Korean culture and heritage, it definitely stands out and inculcates a strong sense of national pride when it’s on the Korean roads, ”said Francesco Scardaoni, Regional Director for Lamborghini Cars in Asia Pacific.

The Lamborghini Aventador S is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 740 hp (550 kW) and 509 lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h).

Lamborghini did not say how much it would cost. Due to the limited number of cars, we are sure that they will not be cheap.
