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 Geely Coolray initially debuted in 2019 and shook the Philippine car industry thanks to its affordable pricing, powerful engine, and extensive features.
