Nissan has stated that it plans to make an entry-level sports car that could rival the likes of the Toyota GR86/Subaru BR-Z. While the brand already has two sports cars at its disposal, namely the Nissan Z and the legendary R35 GT-R, these are typically out of reach for most younger buyers. The plans come from an interview with Top Gear UK, where Nissan senior vice president of global product planning Ivan Espinosa said he has a dream plan for the Japanese automaker to introduce an all-new model

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. Aside from the track testing, Nissan also h

When you’re the number-one automaker in the Philippines and you’re celebrating your 35th anniversary, nothing less than the best will do.

The announcement comes from Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda who revealed before last week’s 100th anniversary 24 Hours of Le Mans that the Gazoo Racing sub-bra

Motorsports is the last place you would expect to hear about sustainability. Perhaps even less so at endurance races, where cars at full belt for up to 25 hours straight, testing both man and machine through day and night. But in a December 2022 press statement, Toyota Motor Corporation said it would field two cars at the 25-hour IDEMITSU 1500 SUPER ENDURANCE 2022 that aims to break the mold. The Japanese carmaker said it would field a Toyota GR Corolla powered by hydrogen and a Toyota GR86 that

We don't usually write about watches here at AutoFun Philippines, but this new Casio timepiece got us excited. The Japanese watch maker recently released the Casio ECB-2000MFG-1A – the name of this red-and-black watch already offers a clue of its relationship to one of the most popular works of motorsports literature. It is the result of a collaboration between EDIFICE, which is Casio's motorsports line-up, and the two street-racing manga (Japanese graphic novels in English) of renowned Japanese
