First of all, we would like to extend our thanks to all for the numerous
messages of sympathy and support expressed for our Japanese colleagues and
partners after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan recently.
There is a great sense of solidarity and teamwork, and as a group, we are working
tirelessly to overcome the challenges presented by this terrible disaster.
Back to our achievements for the past months: we are extremely proud to
announce the launch of the new luxury specification GT-R VVIP edition which
took place during a special media and customer event at Yas Marina Circuit in
Abu Dhabi. You can check out more details about the GT-R in the cover story of

100% Electric Nissan Leaf picks up European car of the Year
2011 Trophy
The trophy recognising the revolutionary Nissan LEAF as Europe’s Car of The Year 2011
was handed over to Nissan Motor Co.’s President and CEO Carlos Ghosn in a special
ceremony held at the Pavillion Gabriel in Paris.
To win the award, the 58 CoTY members – leading motoring journalists from 23
European countries – placed Nissan LEAF ahead of six conventional cars on the shortlist. It
is the first time in CoTY’s 47-year history that the annual award has been won by an electric
vehicle.
“I am convinced that we will see other electric cars named Car of the Year in the future.
But when we do, we must always remember that only one can be the first.
And that is why Nissan LEAF Car of the Year 2011 is – and will remain – so very special,” said
Håkan Matson, president of the CoTY jury, speaking at the ceremony.

‘Hero of All Terrain’ returns to Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge
An agreement between Nissan Middle East FZE and the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge 2011
was signed recently at Nissan’s regional headquarters. It will take the partnership between the
two sides to new heights.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA Vice-president, and Chairman of the Desert Challenge
Organising Committee, made the announcement. He confirmed that 2011 will see the return
of Nissan’s flagship Patrol SUV, dubbed “The Hero of All Terrain”, as the official car of Abu
Dhabi’s international cross-country rally, which is acknowledged to be one of the toughest yet
most spectacular rallies on the sporting calendar.
One of the rally’s toughest stages will be named after Nissan, and will start and finish at
the prestigious Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort, deep in the heart of Abu Dhabi emirate’s
Western Region.
Ben Sulayem said: “Nissan is a highly valued, long-term partner of the Abu Dhabi Desert
Challenge. They have been with us for eight years and their support has been invaluable in
helping us to take the great strides we have taken to make the rally the world-class event that
it now is.
“Nissan Middle East is once again delighted to be partnering with the Automobile Touring
Club of the UAE and the FIA to be a sponsor of the 2011 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge,” said
Atsuo Kosaka, Managing Director of Nissan Middle East. “With plans for an even bigger event
this year and the attention of the international media, we are sure spectators will enjoy one of
the world’s greatest and most authentic desert rallies”.
Amazing line up of vehicles from Nissan displayed

Nissan showcased its key line up of vehicles at the Qatar Motor Show (2629th January 2011 at the Doha Exhibitions Center). The participation at the show

Regional
accolades
continue for Nissan Patrol
The 2010 Nissan Patrol continues its success by
adding many Middle East regional awards to its list of accolades
since the first-ever World Premiere in the GCC by a Japan-based
automaker in February 2010.
“We are thrilled the editors at influential publications have
chosen to recognize the Nissan Patrol as the best SUV in the 4x4
class”, said Atsuo Kosaka, Managing Director of Nissan Middle
East.
Sport Auto, a leading pan Arab automotive magazine
awarded ‘SUV of the Year 2011’ to the Nissan Patrol, which
continues to garner awards from leading automotive titles in
the region. Another leading Pan Arab Magazine, Saudi Auto,
recognised the Nissan Patrol as ‘4x4 of the Year’.
Meanwhile, AutoMiddleEast.com, a leading automotive
bilingual website in the GCC and Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) region, conducted a comparative test drive for the
Nissan Patrol and one of its main competitors. The verdict by
AutoMiddleEast.com was an overall victory for the Nissan Patrol
2010.
Commenting on the award, Abdulilah Wazni, Senior Manager,
SUV Marketing, at Nissan Middle East FZE said: “The launch of
the all-new 2010 Patrol has been Nissan’s most important new
product launch in the region this year and so this recognition from
the editors at AutoMiddleEast.com is a great way to prove that the
new generation Patrol is a technological tour de force and takes
the ‘Hero of all Terrain’ to new levels of excellence.”
Evo Middle East, a British automobile magazine dedicated
to performance cars, from hot hatches to supercars, recently
recognized Nissan’s Patrol as the ‘4x4 of the year’.
It also received the ‘Best Heavy Duty Elegant SUV - 2010’
award from pan-Arab magazine and Lebanon-based Future
TV. Automobile magazine is one of the oldest and most popular
Pan-Arab automotive titles. The TV show, by the same name, on
Future TV is also widely watched by the Arab population in the
Middle East.
A year after its exclusive global premiere launch in the GCC,
the new generation Patrol has repeatedly lived up to its title as
the ‘Hero of all Terrain’. The 2010 Nissan Patrol has also been
recognized as the ‘Best SUV Award for 2010’ by another regional
automotive magazine, Car Express.
Gulf Autos magazine has recognized the Patrol and ‘Best
SUV of the Year, ’while another magazine, Middle East Car has
says Nissan’s Patrol is ‘Best in Class Full Size SUV.’

COVER STORY
A freshened version of the Godzilla is back. And this time, it is more
powerful, smarter, chic and exclusive for the Middle Eastern buyer. Yes,
Nissan is not just bringing the 2011 GT-R to our shores this year, but has also
developed an exclusive VVIP version of the beast for its elite clientele.
You will recall that the legend of the GT-R started back in 1969 with the
legendary Skyline which later evolved into the high performance Skyline
GT-R. The GT-R was re-born in 2007 as the accessible, daily drive supercar.
Top auto journalists, race car drivers and owners have heaped praise on
the GT-R, and the car has achieved a cult status amongst performance
enthusiasts.
The twin turbo V6 Godzilla is not just (ironically) prettier to look at, but
the 2011 model adds more power, larger exhausts pipes, modified valve
timings, greater fuel efficiency with improved dynamics and above all, a
VVIP edition for the Middle East.
Visibly the 2011 GT-R can be distinguished immediately thanks to a host
of exterior design improvement. The front bumper is newly designed with
double rectifier fins and high intensity white-colour LEDs. The new bumper
is not only aesthetically pleasing but also increases front downforce by
about 10%, while reducing air resistance inside the engine compartment
and increasing air flow to the brakes. At the rear a redesigned bumper,
extended rear diffuser, new tailpipe finisher and LED fog lamps are primary
changes on the new GT-R.
Nissan has bumped up the GT-R’s performance by a neat 45 ponies.
The 2011 GT-R’s 3.8-litre V6 engine now produces 530 horse power at 6400
rpm as against the older model’s 485, while torque is also up to 612Nm. The
revised engine now comes with a sporty red colour cover to demonstrate the
added power. The all-wheel drive 2011 GT-R has become even more rapid
and can sprint from 0-100kph in just three seconds. Despite the increase in
power, the 2011 GT-R features a host of fuel saving measures which help
increase overall fuel efficiency to 8.5kpl (Japan market measurement).
Emission levels also have been reduced and the new GT-R is greener than
its predecessor.
The GT-R now comes with a revised dual-clutch transmission with faster
shift times and a new ‘SAVE’ mode which modifies the shift schedule to
improve actual fuel economy when driving highways or open roads. To
harness the engine’s increased power the GT-R’s body has been stiffened
using lightweight materials and Nissan has also modified the suspension to
improve road holding and stability. The 2011 GT-R rides on lighter and more
rigid alloy wheels which improve the car’s responsiveness and help put all
that power down on the tarmac.
The interiors of the new GT-R have also been improved and the sports
car now comes with a revised instrument panel which is easier to use.
New materials are used for the interior ascents including carbon-fibre and
magnesium which give the GT-R’s cabin an upmarket and sporty feel. A host
of personalisation options are also available for the new GT-R thanks to the

The GT-R is well mannered and easy to drive on the streets. A special
Bilstein DampTronic suspension system with double wishbones in the front
and multi link aluminum member in the rear provides appropriate damping
forces and helps maintain a high level of control in cornering, straight line
driving and braking. Setting the suspensions in Comfort mode turns this beast
into a smooth sailing ship.
Electronically controlled four wheel drive system comes standard and
confidently takes you through the tightest of the bends you throw at the GT-R.
Brembo full floating rotors (390mm front and 380mm rear) provide superb
braking power for this daily-drive supercar. Upgrades to the brake system
include thinner rotors that improves pedal feel and increases fade resistance
and extend brake rotor life for sporty driving.
Inside the cabin, the center console is now finished with attractive genuine
matte carbon fiber and upgraded material. A choice of 12 interior color
combinations is good to satisfy the wildest of choices. Our test car had white
leather seats with golden trims on it and an all white leather interior, giving
very chic feel inside the car. Hand crafted seats by master craftsmen at Seton
Company Inc. Muelheim an der Ruhr in Germany, are unique for a supercar –
they are luxurious and yet supportive. Whether the drive is to a night club or on
the track, a reassuring feel of the seats holding you is confidence inspiring.
In addition, the 11-speaker Bose audio system with two subwoofers,
exclusively tuned according to the driving position, throws a sea of sound waves
that surround and insulate you from anything other than what’s playing at the
time. We prefer listening to the orchestra of GT-R’s engine though. Bluetooth
phone connectivity and a navigation system with a hard drive from which you
can use up to 9.3GB for audio storage are some gimmicks designed to make
life more enjoyable inside the car.
High performance cars have a tendency to handle best only when driven
by experienced drivers, yet the GT-R has the handling, transmission, traction
and performance to enable anyone to drive this car with ease. This is what
makes the GT-R stand out from other super cars.
The lesson learnt is don’t mess with the GT-R – on road or track.

GT-R is totally wild on the track”

a sports car and performs like one too.
But ESFLOW is different. It's electric.
NISSAN ESFLOW Concept

19
Feature
Crisp lines convey the sporting
pedigree of the ESLOW Concept
What make it unique is that unlike many electric sports cars on the
market, the ESFLOW is not an existing conventional engine powered car that
has been adapted to run on electricity, but a sports car that's been designed
from scratch. This means that Nissan's designers had complete freedom to
place the electric motors and batteries in the best possible way to benefit the
car's handling and performance.
ESFLOW is rear-wheel drive and it runs on two motors placed above the
axis of the rear wheels. These motors independently control the left and right
wheels, and so the torque is optimised to ensure outstanding vehicle stability
and control as well as efficient power regeneration. The ESFLOW reaches a
100kph in under 5 seconds.
Power for the motors comes from the same laminated lithium-ion battery
packs used in the Nissan LEAF, but in ESFLOW the packs are located along
the axis of the front and rear wheels. This centralizes the mass of the car, and
thus its rotation point, close to the driver’s hips. These cleverly positioned
batteries enable the car to travel over 240km on one charge.
An aluminium chassis has been built around the drive train, taking
full advantage of the opportunities that Zero Emission electric propulsion
provides.
The high waistline afforded by the ESFLOW’s classic sports car
proportions allows strong, yet unobtrusive roll bars incorporated in to the
structure behind the seats to safely take the entire load of the car in the event
of a roll over, negating the need for obtrusive, thick, reinforced A-pillars and
the blind spots they inevitably create.
This almost unobstructed view ahead will not be unfamiliar to fighter
pilots, and just as such pilots speak of “strapping their planes on to their
backs”, the ESFLOW owners will also feel the car to be an extension of their
bodies, reacting to their slightest whims. The driver must be at the centre of
20
the sports car both physically and metaphorically.
The ESFLOW is undoubtedly an attractive car. Crisp, clean lines not only
convey the purity of its sporting potential, but suggest the clarity of electric
power. The colour scheme chosen for the concept car is inspired by glaciers
- highly reflective solidified liquid with blue tints in its shadows. Like its ZEV
concept forebears and contemporary stable mate the ESFLOW’s headlights
and Nissan emblem are tinted cool blue. The six spoke wheels contain blue
carbon inserts while the same material adorns the side sill, roof mounted lip
spoiler and lower rear bumper.
Blue LEDs accentuate the futuristic lights slashed into the bodywork both
front and rear. Where the Nissan LEAF’s protrusive headlights are used to
guide airflow around the door mirrors, this is not needed on ESFLOW as the
mirrors have been replaced with minute rear view cameras at the base of its
A-pillars. The ESFLOW’s front lights do protect a secret of their own flip out
charging points built in to the air ducts beneath.
Ecological minimalism need not come at the expense of luxury. The cabin
of the ESFLOW is clean and open and weight saving has been a priority
throughout its design, but it is still a comfortable and pleasant place to sit. By
far the heaviest components in modern cars’ interiors are the steel framed,
thickly upholstered and increasingly motorized seats. In ESFLOW the seats
are sculpted into the rear bulkhead of the car, negating the need for a heavy
frame. The fly-by-wire steering and pedals adjust electrically to the best spot
to suit each individual driver’s size and preferred driving position.
With hints of classic and contemporary Nissan sports car abound, the
ESFLOW is evidently a dramatic two-seater concept car created from the
ground up as a pure electric vehicle.

TECHNOLOGY
“Body colour is where we can embody
our image. We can picture our dream
easily there. But, interior designing
is a more realistic work,”
says Ayaka Go, Colour Designer.
Colour design at Nissan starts with what the Colour Designers call “Design
Taste Boxes.” Once a vehicle’s product concept has been fixed, Colour
Designers look at every aspect of the target customers’ lives – age, gender,
taste, hobbies, activities and values – and put together a bunch of things that
the target customer uses in their daily lives in wooden “Design Taste Boxes.”
Next, they make computer graphics of the new model based on the
collection of things in the Taset Boxes. The idea is to keep exterior and interior
design consistent with what the target customer is comfortable with in their

daily lives.
Colour designers also have to consider how different colours are seen and
perceived in different regions and cultures. For instance, the quality of natural
light in Japan differs from that in the Middle Eastern countries – which affects
how colours are seen. There are also differences in how various cultures
perceive colours.
“In China, the popularity of black sedans remains deep-rooted, though
some younger buyers are moving to SUVs and more colourful exteriors. In the
Middle East, customers prefer glittering body colours and interiors and rich
The art and science of making cars has come a long way from
decorations,” explains Kei Yoshitomi, Associate Chief Designer “ Taking the

understands the importance of colours and materials and has assigned the job
“Body colour is where we can embody our image. We can picture our

Designers,’ a part of Nissan's deisgn department.
Go, Colour Designer. “Unlike body colour, we select not only colours but also
26
materials in interior colour design.” There are many parts inside the car that
customers touch or operate, such as the steering wheel and controls, seats
and glove box etc. These pieces have to be practical and, at the same time,
meet various design requirements, including durability, luminosity (reflection),
productivity (expansion and contraction), discolouration and flame resistance.
This is why Go calls it “realistic work.” Though challenged by these various
restrictions, Nissan colour designers keep pushing the envelope, proposing
new designs and new ideas.
The interior texture in the new Z is a great example. For the new Z, Nissan’s
newly developed material called “Sofilez” is applied on the center cluster
individually by hand. This new material was created to provide a sense of
“human touch,” derived from the analysis of “softness” which people prefer.
Balancing soft touch with durability, “Sofilez” provides added comfort in the
cabin and an improved interior texture.
When deciding a colour variation, it is important to draw up a strategy
considering the role of each colour. For instance, the compact Nissan Micra
has a variation of 12 colours and each colour has a different role.
Since almost every car has a standard range of white, gray, black or red,
if a car has no colour variations, customers may exclude the car from their
options. Comparing this to a soccer formation, white, gray, black and red are
the equivalent of the defenders or goalkeepers.
On the other hand, “character colours” play the role of a midfielder or
a forward – strongly promoting a car’s unique design characteristics or
personality. For March, each character colour has a theme, such as fruit,
dessert, cocktail or the four seasons in Japan. Associating those themes with
the car, Nissan has been able to promote the March in new ways, which have
been highly appreciated. Micra has received a number of awards in the Auto
Colour Awards hosted by Japan Fashion Colour Authority (JAFCA).
“At Nissan, we are challenged to propose unconventional colours that have
not been seen before. Within Nissan, colour is recognized as one of the values
of a car and that’s why we can create new colours where a car’s characteristics
are brought out, without sticking to stereotypes,” says Yoshitomi.
“Thinking Outside the Box Begins
Inside the Boxes”
“Each car’s characteristics
need to be carefully
considered and
expressed by
body colour,”
says Keiko Kitagawa,
Colour Designer.

ME & MY NISSAN
Strong bonds with Nissan
Dharshi Gammamoila has been driving a Nissan Patrol Super Safari for over a decade, that too, one
with a manual gearbox. She loves to travel, bake and being lady – shop naturally. We caught up with this
homemaker and talked a bit about Nissan.
What do you drive, for how long and what was your set of wheels before this?
I am driving a Nissan Petrol super safari since 2005. Since the time I came
to UAE, my husband has had Nissan vehicles and I really enjoyed driving the
Nissan’s. We have owned a Nissan Sunny, a Nissan coupe and currently he
drives a Nissan Altima. So, when it came to me buying a vehicle I choose Nissan
too. My first car in Dubai was a Nissan Pathfinder full option but manual gear
and then I moved to the Nissan Patrol also a full option but manual gear. I enjoy
driving manual over automatic.
Your take on Patrol and experiences of owning/driving it…
Good after sales service, past experience, reliability, comfort and powerful airconditioning were the factors which influenced me when buying my own car.
When I did the test drive on other similar category 4 wheel vehicles, Nissan
Petrol was the best. Since we had Nissan vehicles all long including my previous
Nissan Pathfinder, I went for it and no regrets. The best experience is driving
the Nissan petrol in the desert. It has monster power and its performance in the
desert is amazing.
Where do you mostly use your Patrol? Do you take it off road?
I drive my kids to their school everyday, and weekends in winter months call for
driving in the dunes.
Why manual gearbox and not automatic?
I always drove manual gear vehicles and will continue to drive manual gear
vehicles as this gives pleasure in driving.
Did you consider anything else when you were buying the Patrol? I was evaluating the Nissan Petrol and one of its main competitors.
What’s on your stereo?
Mainly Gospel music, radio and mix of CD music
What’s your dream drive?
Drive on traffic free M25 in London.
