In a country where exotic cars are (seemingly) as common as Camrys, the police are most certainly in need of a vehicle that can keep up. So the Abu Dhabi police service in the United Arab Emirates has just unveiled its secret weapon, a 485-hp Nissan GT-R.
Not much else is known about the car, but if you look around back you're sure to notice the clever phrase, "We ensure you safety… in the fastest way."
So it looks like we might be seeing a lot more Porsche GT2s pulled over on the side of the highway in Abu Dhabi.
The drifting craze brought attention to Nissan's now famous 180SX and 240. That exposure also put the spotlight on one of Nissan's most famous motors, the SR20DE. Something is missing. Oh yes, I forgot the "T" on the end.
I left out the "T" for turbo because all USDM SR20 motors come normally aspirated from the factory. For those that are swapping SR20DET motors in their 180's and 240's, you may not realize that the SR20DE comes factory equipped into five US Nissan models and one 4wd JDM model that has the "T" on the end. Although five of these models are FWD they are just as potent as any RWD SR20 powered vehicle.
Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.
Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.
And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.

First impressions are important and the new 370Z Roadster, unlike its predecessor, makes a great one.
During the vehicle launch presentation, one of the product planning folks highlighted how the new Z was designed to be a convertible right from the start – a hint, perhaps, that the roadster version of the pervious model was an afterthought. It certainly looked like one.
Rather than just cutting the top off, Nissan spent time, energy and resources designing the Roadster to give it its own unique personality. If you look carefully at the car's profile, you'll see that there's a flat surface at the top of the windshield, which lets you know as you look upwards that this is where the car ends. Another design cue is the rear tonneau cover with its two bulges, giving a distinct two-seater look to the car, while the center dip between the two humps pours down into the cabin – bringing just a little of the car's exterior paint color into the cockpit.
Another sign that the roadster's design was thoroughly thought out is that the car's drag coefficient is actually lower (i.e. more aerodynamic) than the coupe, which is the opposite of what usually happens when you chop the sleek and solid metal roof off and replace it with a piece of material.
