Car Talk2020 Nissan Vision GT-R R36 Revealed And It's Amazing (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op):
We all know the current generation of the Nissan GT-R is fast and beautiful. However, It's been out there for too long despite the fact that we don't really get to see them in Nigeria.

Well, it seems the world is not waiting for us as Nissan is already considering the 2020 Nissan Vision GT-R R36 which will be based on the hybrid technology. The hybrid system is expected to work with an electric motor tuned to some 135 hp and an evolutionary 3.8-liter 6-horsepower which will produce 660 horsepower. The overall power is expected to start at 795 hp and can easily reach 1,000 hp.

On this concept car, Nissan is expected to use cooling circuit for lithium-ion batteries and 8 gears to keep up with the engine power and the car is expected to get 0 - 60 acceleration in 2 seconds. Nissan will work with Formula 1 teams and other car manufacturers to make this project a reality.

Car TalkPresident Buhari Riding In His Official Mercedes Benz S550 (Video) by AutoJoshNG(op): 3:05pm On Mar 16, 2018
Clearly, the perks of holding a public office in Nigeria is extremely mouth-watering.

Perhaps, that is why some Nigerian politicians are ever reluctant to let go of these public offices.

For instance, check out the super luxury on wheels that our dear president, Mohammadu Buhari, rides in.

A Mercedes Benz S550!

Wow.

Indeed, life is good when you are the Nigerian president.

Now, there is a school of thought that argues that the Mercedes Benz S550 seen in the video can't be anything less than N180m/N200m by today's Naira/Dollar exchange rate. And especially given the fact that the car is bulletproof.

So, what do you think?

How much do you think our president's bulletproof Mercedes Benz S550 is worth?

Watch the video and share your opinion.

Car TalkHow Do You Hold And Use Your Gear Selector? (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 1:41pm On Mar 16, 2018
This is just for the manual drivers. The “manual wannabe” drivers are also welcomed.
How do you hold your gear selector when shifting your gear? Do you know how you hold your gear has something to say about you?

A gear stick is a metal lever attached to the shift assembly in a manual transmission-equipped automobile and it is used to change gears.

In case the way you hold yours isn’t among the seven various ways depicted in the picture above, please show us.

For fun.

TravelMan Survives After His Car Was Crushed By A Heavy Duty Vehicle (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 10:29am On Mar 16, 2018
It has never been a safe practice to drive very close to a heavy duty vehicle. They are highly unstable when they are loaded combined with the terrible roads we have in our country.

The man in the picture was lucky enough to escape the grip of death after this heavy duty vehicle crushed his car.
This happened along Enugu-Onitsha expressway. If you know this road, you can testify how bad the road is especially during the rainy season.

These heavy duty vehicles can cause painful and tragic death; be very careful when around them. Better still, avoid them if you can.

It’s always advised to give way for heavy duty vehicles on the road. Don’t be too close to them from all sides. Give them the space they need. The worst remains overtaking it when it’s dancing due to the potholes and bad road. It can easily lose balance and fall.

Drive with care. Don’t be a victim

Thank God for his life.

Car Talk2019 Mercedes Benz S650 Pullman Maybach Is Better Than The Best (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 9:18am On Mar 16, 2018
Mercedes-Maybach stands for the ultimate in exclusivity and individuality. The absolute top-of-the range model from the luxury brand is the Pullman (fuel consumption combined: 14.6 l/100 km) with vis-à-vis seating behind the partition screen. Now the high-end luxury class from Mercedes-Benz is becoming even more exquisite. A new radiator grille and new exclusive colour combinations in the interior make for a new appearance. The longest model from the S-Class family with a length of 6.50 metres can be ordered now.

A reinterpretation of the Mercedes-Maybach radiator grille with its fine, vertical struts accentuates the front end. The grille was inspired by a pinstriped suit. The exterior appearance of the top-of-the-range model is rounded off by the 20-inch wheel in 10-hole design known from the Mercedes-Maybach.

Its length of 6.50 metres alone is a sign of the special status of the Mercedes‑Maybach Pullman. It provides space for a generously sized and tastefully appointed club lounge in the rear, with a multitude of creature comforts fitted as standard, thereby ensuring the chauffeur-driven limousine lives up to today's expectations of what constitutes maximum exclusivity and luxury. The VIP occupants sit on two standard-specification executive seats facing the direction of travel. They can enjoy the largest legroom in the segment; and can get in and out of the car with the greatest of ease and comfort. As is typical for a Pullman, the four passengers can sit facing each other in the compartment with an electrically operated partition. Also new for the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is a front view camera. Rear passengers are thus able to monitor the traffic in front of the vehicle even when the partition screen is closed.

This gentleman is priced at about N222 million excluding shipping cost and import duty.

The V12 biturbo engine of the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman now has an output of 630 hp.

Acceleration 0-100 km/h (s) 6.5 seconds

Car TalkDo This Simple “bounce Test” To Know If Your Car Has Suspension Problem by AutoJoshNG(op): 9:54am On Mar 13, 2018
When a car has suspension problems, the symptom is easy to tell, but tracing the exact source of the problem is usually the challenge. The source of the symptom could be a faulty or worn out ball.

However, to spot the exact problem with a suspension system would require the attention of an experienced mechanic in order to spot the problem.

Unusual Sounds

Vehicles with faulty suspension often exhibits some unusual sounds coming from the tyre areas. For instance, some peculiar sounds associated with suspension problems include;

Clanking Sound
This sound is like metal hitting against metal. It typically is heard when the vehicle is riding over bumps or potholes. It may be a sign of failing control arms bushing or failing stabilizer end links.

Knocking Sound
When you hear a knocking sound coming from your suspension area, especially when driving over potholes or bumps, this is usually a sign of bad struts or bad strut mounts. A bad ball joint can also cause this.

Rotational
This sound constantly grows louder as the vehicle goes faster. This is usually as a result of a failing wheel bearing or of noisy tyres.


“Bouncing test”

So, if your suspension system exhibits some of the above signs, there is a simple test that can determine if truly the suspension system is faulty or not.

To carry out this test, follow the steps highlighted below.

Step 1: With the car in “park,” press down on the front of the car with all your weight, “bounce” it a few times, then release.

Step 2: Do it again on the rear of the vehicle. If the car continues to rock or bounce more than 2-3 times after you release it, the suspension is wearing out.

Car Talk3 Reasons Why You Need A Comprehensive Auto Insurance by AutoJoshNG(op): 9:07am On Mar 13, 2018
Insuring a car is truly expensive, but it’s a mandate for the safety of all drivers. This saves you a lot of money and futile efforts you would probably expend on your automobile. Below are some reasons why you need auto insurance.


You get compensated for an accident:

Although, you seem not to like the idea of car insurance, it might still be of greater benefit to you. Consider a situation, whereby you are involved in an auto crash, which is obviously not a result of your negligence or carelessness; in that kind of situation, you’re surely a victim and require compensation as you might not be having enough funds to get things fixed for yourself at that time. The car you insured already enables you to get a financial support for your ride to compensate you for the loss caused by another person. You will not have to wait till the other party pays for the damages caused.


Your car gets fixed in a short time:

The cost of maintaining a car is highly expensive, not to talk of that of repairs. An unexpected bash can cost you hundreds of thousands of Naira. In a more critical case, your car might not be movable. But for the reason that you have auto insurance, you’ll have the faults fixed in a short time and get back to going about with your ride.


Your assets are protected

Assume that you have enough funds in your bank account and you think you don’t need car insurance. Consider the fact that you will not be so happy to lose your hard earned money over the repairs or replacement of a crashed automobile which might have occurred not due to your faults. It could be natural disasters, like trees falling on your car and the likes of it. Having a car insurance will save you some money and protect your assets, you definitely have plans on that money in your bank especially in this critical economic situation of ours.

Do you use comprehensive insurance? Tell us in the comment section.

Car Talk5 Factors That Affect The Handling Of Your Vehicle by AutoJoshNG(op): 7:03am On Mar 13, 2018
Handling is a very important factor in cars when it comes to speeding, control and cornering corners.

A car with good handling is fun to drive and gives a good feel to the driver.

A driver negotiating a bend at 90km/h with 2015 Mercedes Benz S550 will have better control, balance and better stability than another driving doing the same with a 2015 Toyota Corolla.

This is so because the S-Class has better handling than the Corolla.

There are so many factors that can affect the handling of your car. As said earlier, handling basically deals with the way your car handle curves and swerving.

You are likely to lose control while driving a car with poor handling. These are some of the things that can make your car perform poorly when it comes to handling.



1. Suspension:

The work of your suspension is to keep the tires on ground at all times even when you go over a bump or something.
If you have problem with your suspension, the handling of your car will be jeopardized.
The suspension should help the car stay on the road.

Do This Simple “Bounce Test” To Know If Your Car Has Suspension Problem


2. Tyres:

Having the wrong tyres on your car will certainly affect handling. Most of the standard tires that come with cars are not large and soft, which are ideal for improved handling. When you want to attain the peak of handling, you go for high performance tyres.




3. Shock absorber:

If you don’t have a good shock absorber, the handling will be poor. Shock absorbers play a very important role in cars; it absorbs energy that your car causes while in motion.
If the shock absorbers are bad, stability as well as handling is affected.




4. Aerodynamics:

Aerodynamics affects your car greatly. The faster your car goes the more downward force it creates.
Cars use this force to increase handling. This is especially important going around turns. There are only a few ways to make your car more aerodynamic. You can add spoilers to the car take off the roof rack (or other racks on top) or also decrease the weight of the car by taking unnecessary things out of the trunk.




5. Weather Condition:

The weather affects the handling of your car. When it rains, it creates a slippery surface, and this can really make the roads dangerous. This will certainly affect the handling of your car.

RomanceWhy Ladies Love Guys Who Have Cars by AutoJoshNG(op): 6:49am On Mar 13, 2018
Just exactly the same way ladies tend to get into guys with huge level of confidence, healthy beards and strong muscles, that’s just the same way they love guys with cars.

The cost of the car determines the level to which they would be so much over him, regardless of his age. Being in possession of a car is seen as a typical symbol of status, power and influence, and these are some of those things every Lady wants in her man.

Although, ladies take self-confidence as an integral feature every man should possess when trying to pick them up. Since there is no constant measure for the level of confidence, therefore, ladies decide what makes a man really confident; which is basically material things (cars inclusive).

Another reason why ladies love men who have cars is due to the questions they answer from fellow ladies whenever any of them brings up gist about her man. Basically, one of the first questions that is being asked is “what car does he have?” Ladies believe the cost of maintaining a car is really expensive, thinking of refueling the car from time to time, and other maintenance embedded around owning a car; obviously, no poor man would ever want to own a car except he wants to go bankrupt.

And lastly, ladies always want to be sure of the fact that, dating a guy that owns a car saves them the stress of hopping from one bus or bike. They want to be transported on a seat that gives them comfort while listening to any song of their choice with the volume being increased to their desire. Everyone loves the feeling of a King or Queen.

Ladies in house, can you date a guy that does not own a car?

Car TalkSin S1 Vs. Sbarro 4×4+2: Which Is Uglier? by AutoJoshNG(op): 6:23pm On Mar 08, 2018
At the ongoing Geneva Motor Show, two cars have clearly stood out. They have been attracting some usual attention.


The attention they are enjoying is not tied to their performance or capacities. Instead, it is tied to their unusual appearance.


Appearance, or looks, is subjective. However, many have come out to say that these are the ugliest cars at this year’s edition of the globally renowned auto fair.


Furthermore, what has become even more contentious is agreeing on which one of them is uglier.

So, your opinion is required here.


Between the SUV Sbarro 4×4+2 and the Sin S1, which do you think is uglier?
