Well, here it is. Kind of ugly compared to the 350z in my opinion. All the details about this ugly beast will be unveiled at the LA Auto Show November 19th. Hopefully it’s got some brute to make up for it’s sheer uglyness. Okay so it’s not that ugly… Hopefully you can actually drive the car without exploding the transmission and voiding your warranty like the GT-R.
“TOKYO (Reuters) – Nissan Motor Co said on Monday it has developed an accelerator pedal that can push back on the driver’s foot when it detects excess pressure and poor fuel efficiency.
Japan’s No.3 automaker said it would install the “ECO pedal”, which can be switched on or off by the driver, in its cars from next year. It didn’t specify which models would be equipped with the new technology.
Internal research showed that the system, which comes with real-time fuel consumption levels displayed in the instrument panel, could improve fuel efficiency by 5-10 percent depending on driving conditions.” Reuters
In theory this sounds like a good idea but what about those moments you absolutely have to stomp the gas pedal, say for example if you’re trying to blow through a red light or outrun a train at a crossing?
