Car Lease Specials: Japanâ
It’s been quite a while since the people in Japan’s Nissan boiler rooms have come up with a design worthy of luxury and sports bravado. But our car lease specials radar have picked up on what seems to be the new Nissan GT-R which was first put into the concept car category almost a decade ago. So will it finally be released?
For those who were expecting it to be released in 2008, you will most probably have to bump that up in your calendars to 2009–March, to be exact; but even that could be changed considering the work that has been put into this monster. So what is so special about this that car lease specials will be all over it the second it comes out? Well, it may be interesting to note that the people over at Nissan are specifically benchmarking their pet project against the Porsche 911 Turbo. And why not? The Nissan GT-R is rumored to have only the most advanced in engine technology that building the engine itself has required its own space in the company’s Yokohama factory.
Let’s get this straight: the Nissan GT-R is a speed demon. It can go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and very little turbo lag. For now, it seems that the noise that all the revving makes is something intended but knowing the Japanese, they will probably look for some kind of solution behind all the roaring created. Nissan has also made sure that the GT-R when purchased will definitely be something difficult to maintain. Its all-steel turbochargers are a far cry from the ceramic ones installed in their last Skyline GT-R release.
This speedy monster of car lease specials seems to be quite safe to drive as well in the sense that its body is solid and secure. It weighs more than the Porsche 911 which means that it will be extremely stable on the road. Coupled with weighty steering and the four-wheel drive system, it should handle turns and corners quite easily.
The Nissan GT-R is in a class all on its own as you look at its own individual specs. Its rumored to have 200 more horsepower than the last GT-R, twin turbo V6, advanced four-wheel drive, gearshift and traction control, adjustable dampers (comfort, normal, and race modes), and a double-clutch gearbox. To top it all off, a driver will be glad to know that the car will consist of both aluminum and carbon fiber. The 3.8 liter, twin V6 is quite impressive and ever since Japan’s lift on the limit for all cars to only reach 280 horsepower, Nissan has not let up on beefing up the Nissan GT-R with only best in engine class. Let’s just say as far as car lease specials go, this is one vehicle that you don’t want to leave out of your radar. And it’s definitely a legend even if it hasn’t hit the roads already.

It could still hit the road and be driven, but people think that it isn’t much compared to the fancy and larger cars that are available on the market these days. But for some people, it is considered as a good collection and for others, vintage cars are much more of a hobby since they are thinking of the return for their investment in the long run because vintage cars are much more expensive than that of the new models on the market, and actually the market price can go up because of its uniqueness and the historical facts of these cars. One example is the Porsche Spyder, it still hits the road and catches attention, this is indeed a very expensive vintage car, and only a number of people own one.

All About The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT
Unofficially, the Porsche Carrera GT is a racecar, a racecar built for the street. What makes it a racecar is not necessarily the huge power produced by its V10 engine or the carbon fiber construction that keeps everything very lightweight – although these features surely make it a fast car. It’s more the sum of its parts that make this car worth every bit of its $440,000 price tag.
The Porsche Carrera GT was introduced as a 2004 model and until 2005 there were already a few changes in order to make the Carrera GT the new Porsche super car. These were minor updates in order to make it a little more street friendly. Between the supplemental bar hoops is now mounted a glass screen. The seats height is adjusted along with the additional bolstering in the thigh area. The Carrera GT is easy recognizable, as it’s a low, sleek, lightweight roadster, very beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. Two removable panels that can be stored in the front trunk make the foul weather protection available.
The car has unique features, among which are: 5.7 liter, 605 horsepower V10 engine, monocoque chassis with Porsche-patented engine and transmission mounts made of carbon-reinforced plastic and the first use of a ceramic composite clutch in a production car. A very important aspect is that The Carrera is safe and stable at speeds up to 205 mph, thanks to its aerodynamic and race-bred suspension package.
The design of the suspension is so sophisticated that the shape of its components improves the Carrera GT`s aerodynamics. The designers used lightweight materials such as magnesium for the car’s substantial wheels and the frames of its special sport seats, the result being a faster and safer car. To prove so, The Carrera GT accelerates from a standing start to 62 mph (100km/h) in only 3.9 seconds reaches 100 mph (160 km/h) in less than seven seconds, 125 mph (200 km/h) in less than 10 seconds, and can achieve a top test-track speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).
What makes this car have these impressive results is it’s 5.5 liter, normally aspirated V10 engine for racing created in the development center in Weissach, Germany. That engine’s bores have been enlarged to displace 5.7 liters in the Carrera GT. It has a very low center of gravity, a 68-degree V angle and four valves-per-cylinder heads. Since the block, crankshaft and camshafts are all made of light alloys, the engine weights only 472 pounds (214 kg).
To stop this “monster” Porsche`s team used a high-tech braking system. Developed for demanding motorsports applications, ceramic brakes are the first to work for on-road use. The massive 15 inch ventilated discs and six-piston calipers have the amazing capacity of bringing the car to a sure and safe stop, matched only by the stunning acceleration of Carrera GT.
Porsche Carrera GT is definitely a exotic appearance, a car that can do it all: fascinate you with its good looks, astound you with its performance and abilities on the race track.

The Sexy Second Generation 2005 Porsche Boxter
The Porsche Boxter was first released in 1996 and has been overwhelmingly popular since. By 1998 the demand was so great that production in Zuffenhusen was not keeping up so Porsche signed a contract with a Finnish factory called Valmet. The contract was to only be for two years since it was thought that by that time the plant in Zuffenhausen would be able to handle the workload, that hasn’t happened and as a matter of fact the majority of Boxters headed to North America are built in the Finnish plant.
It is now not even possible to guarantee that you get a Stuttgart built car because even the vehicles designated for Tourist Delivery are sometimes coming from Valmet.
The popularity of the Boxter shows no signs of waning and if anything the introduction of the new second generation model of 2005 will only increase popularity even more. The Boxter and the Boxter S are super fast and powerful and are by the estimation of many, the best handling mass production sports cars in the world.
They have hardly changed in nearly 10 years aside from minor tweaks to increase horsepower and adding to interior options. This strategy keeps the Porsche tradition of maintaining the look of a successful model for long periods of time which is totally opposed to American car manufacturers’ philosophy where they change vehicle designs as often as every three years.
Like its precedent first offered in 1996, the second generation Boxster is a mid-engine, six-cylinder two-seater that resembles the Porsche Spyder and yet the majority of Boxster‘s construction and electronics are taken from the 911 Carrera. The 2005 Boxter has increased horsepower by 15 and its performance in acceleration and top speed is just about identical to the expensive 911 Carrera.
The base transmission offered is a 5 speed manual but a six speed is optional as is the availability of the 5-speed Porsche designed Tiptronic automatic transmission.
The overall look of the exterior of the Boxter is not overly decorative or ornate but sexy and the interior has been improved a good deal due to the earlier versions being considered too Spartan or cheap looking. The seats in the second generation are supportive and body conforming which not only makes them look good but increases comfort as well.
One of The Boxster‘s features that I like best, being in Florida, is the powered convertible top, which is very fast and easy to retract or put up. In the 2005 Boxster, the top can even operate while driving up to 30 mph, which is an added plus if you are caught in a sudden shower. The triple-layer padded cloth tops with a heated-glass rear window is as weather-tight and offers as much quiet as most fully enclosed metal roofs.
Porsche continues to prolong their tradition of building quality sports cars with the second generation Porsche Boxter.
