Nissan has decided to add some fun into their otherwise humdrum Sylphy family men mobile — but is it just a vain effort?


The car has now covered just less than 6,000 miles (9,656 km) and is supported by MoT (UK's Ministry of Transport) certificates dating back to 2002. ‘JAZ 220’ has recently had expert work completed by probably the UK’s leading authority on XJ220s, renowned specialists Don Law Racing of Staffordshire. This car has had little use over recent years, which is clear to see from its amazing condition.

As a whole, the BMW M4 Coupe is one heck of a firecracker. It delivers fun by the bucket loads, besides just being a style mobile for the daily commute. If you’re living in depression, buy one. If you’re single and in dire need of a life partner, buy one. If you grasp the concept of YOLO, buy one.

This means the Boxster GTS now has an output of 330 bhp while the Cayman GTS delivers 340 bhp. Nominal torque has also been increased, with 370 Nm available from 4,500 rpm to 5,800 rpm for the Boxster GTS and 380 Nm from 4,750 rpm to 5,800 rpm for the Cayman GTS. This boost in performance also drives the power-to-weight ratio of the Cayman GTS below the four kg per hp barrier; the Boxster GTS is also close to this barrier.

Adequate tread depth is important for safety in wet conditions as the tread grooves help to remove the water from the contact patch between the tyre and the road surface. As the tyre’s tread depth wears down, its ability to remove water from the road decreases meaning that grip levels are reduced and stopping distances are extended. In extreme circumstances when the tyre has insufficient tread depth to clear the water properly, increased water pressure causes the tyres to lift on top of the water surface and lose contact with the road surface. During this dangerous aquaplaning situation any input from the driver such as pressing the brake or turning the steering wheel has no effect on the vehicle, leaving it at an increased risk of being involved in an accident.

Which is the biggest case of oh-how-unfortunate. The Veloster is a very interesting car; the Picasso of coupes, if I may be bold. Sure it’s a three-door coupe, a concept Mini already came up with in the form of their Clubman. But the thing is this: the Veloster has the extra rear door at the right place, and the rear can actually accommodate passengers easily and comfortably.
