900HP Switzer E900 GTR is a Fuming Godzilla on Steroids

Among the many tuners that have pushed the limits on the original Nissan GT-R is Ohio-based Switzer Performance. And what a beast the E900 GTR is as its twin-turbocharged V6, which runs on E85 fuel, makes no less than 834-horses…at the wheels and completes the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds with an exit speed of 147mph (237km/h)!

Drive Channel's Matt Farah took a privately owned E900 GTR for a test drive and let's just say that he was impressed by the sheer power of Switzer's creation.

Nissan Juke-R Versus Nissan GT-R on the Race Track: Which One do You Think Will Win?

However, instead of putting it through its paces alone on the south circuit at Bedford Autodrome they also brought along the car that inspired its creation, the 2012 Nissan GT-R (2013MY for North America) that is rated at 545-horses.

Invitation Concept Previews Nissan’s New Honda Jazz Rival

Nissan already has three contenders in the popular European market B-segment: the Micra hatchback, the Juke mini-crossover and the Note mini-MPV.

Yet its Invitation concept that was unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show is, in Nissan’s own words, “a new offering in the compact hatchback segment in Europe, to join Micra and Juke”. Did you notice that the Note is conspicuously absent from the previous statement?

So it’s a fair assumption that the Invitation, which Nissan says will enter production in 2013, will replace the aging tall hatch.
