Video: Two Nissan GT-R’s Drag Racing

At the Texas Invitational drag racing recently, two slightly modified Nissan GT-R’s lined up together for one epic drag race down the empty runway.

While the Texas Invitational has made a name for itself as being a rolling-drag race event with some of the most highly-modified supercars on the planet racing each other, the following race is without a doubt as close as drag races come as the two Japanese supercars fight for the lead the whole way down the runway.

EuroNCAP: Dacia Finally Improves on Safety with First 4-Stars, Nissan NV200 Fails to Impress

EuroNCAP’s latest test session will surely be remembered by Dacia as the new Sandero brought the Romanian brand its first-ever 4-star rating. The Nissan Evalia (NV200 in North America) was only awarded 3-stars, while the Renault Captur and Chevrolet Trax both achieved the maximum overall 5-star rating.

Dacia got an 80 percent rating for adult occupants, 79 percent for child occupants and 57 percent for pedestrian protection. The Sandero was penalized for the lack of a rear seatbelt reminder and only got a 55 percent rating for its safety assist systems. EuroNCAP noted that “The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact” and “dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.”
