Nissan Juke driven 1 mile on 2 wheels, cool video

If you’re a car lover, you’ll probably think this is pretty cool. We do!

Driving up 1.16-mile hill climb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is challenging enough to begin with, but it gets even more difficult if you decide to attempt the feat on only two wheels. British stuntman Terry Grant did just that, setting a new world record in a Nissan Juke Nismo RS — and breaking the record he set at Goodwood in 2011.

Grant drove two of the Nissan Juke Nismo RS’s wheels up a ramp and managed to continue driving the sporty crossover on two wheels all the way to the end of the course. He finished in 2 minutes, 10 seconds, setting a new world record for the fastest mile traveled by a four-wheel car on two wheels. That breaks Grant’s own record of 2 minutes, 55 seconds, which he set at Goodwood in 2011 in another Nissan Juke. (The outright record at Goodwood’s hill climb, incidentally, is 41.6 seconds and was set in a McLaren MP4-13 racing car in 1999.)

You can watch Grant’s achievement in the video here.

Introducing the New Nissan Leaf: Simpler Style, More Mileage

The Nissan Leaf became a breakthrough modern, mainstream electric car. Now Nissan officials are opening up about how they want to proceed with the next generation of the model.

Most important will be range. Nissan wants to double it from the current Environmental Protection Agency rating of 84 miles per charge, the News says. That improvement, based on new battery chemistry that Nissan thinks it has in the wings, would dramatically improve the car’s practicality. The improved battery should be ready in 2017.

“The battery chemistry is all about range and energy density. That’s where you see the technology moving very, very fast,” Nissan’s Andy Palmer is quoted as saying last month at the Beijing auto show. “This really is the game-changing technology.”

Then there are its looks. Leaf was designed to look distinctive, much the way Toyota scored by giving the Prius hybrid its own look so that customers can proclaim their environmental consciousness every thing they drive. For the next generation, however, the car will be made to fit more into mainstream of styling out on the streets.
