Nissan Altima
Coupe – The Next Generation of Coupe |
|
The
state-of-the-art performance is unveiled with a single push of a button. If
you slide Altima’s shift lever over you can enjoy
manual-style fun, nudging the lever forward or tapping it back to alter the A
senior spokesperson from Suhail Bahwan
Automobiles stated that “The Altima Coupe delivers
an astonishing 285 hp. It can make the winds turn, at high speeds.” The
Altima Coupe has received the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) rating - 5
stars - for side impact crash safety. The
6-cylinder 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe has been
awarded one of the ‘10 Best Engines’ by Ward’s Automotive Group. Altima’s 285-hp VQ 3.5-litre V6 features numerous
refinements to ensure its legendary status. Its advanced Continuously
Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) now works over a wider rpm range
for greater low-end torque and a relentless rush to the redline. A new 6-point
engine-mount system reduces engine vibration. It even sounds better, thanks
to acoustic tuning that limits unwanted mechanical noise, while letting the
pure, exhilarating sound of power come in. The
power delivered by the Coupe cannot be sustained without the revolutionary
all-new Xtronic CVT transmission gear box. So we
can say goodbye to gears as its single, flexible belt creates a virtually ‘gearless’
transmission. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions that experience
gear hunting or shift shock, when you press the accelerator, the CVT will
maintain engine speed so that you are always in the best part of the power
band with amazing smoothness.
The
various features you will notice while lying back in your seat is a
beautifully tuned Bose 9 speaker system. It has a 6 CD changer with an MP3
function and a Speed Sensitive Volume & In-glass Diversity Antenna. The
Nissan Altima’s Safety Shield is our comprehensive
approach to safety. It includes rigorous crash testing and available advanced
technologies. Six air bags and standard front seat Active Head Restraints are
available with the Altima Coupe, just a few
examples of our safety philosophy in action. A Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone
System helps keep your hands glued to the Power Steering wheel, there by
increasing the safety standards. Altima Coupe Continuously Variable Valve Timing precisely
modulates when intake valves open and close, factoring in throttle position,
vehicle speed and engine rpm. The result is outstanding thrust off the line
and deep reserves of passing power. The Variable Intake System similarly lets
the engine "breathe" differently in changing conditions. Again,
there's plenty of thrust in the low range; then as speeds rise, a second,
shorter path opens in the manifold, allowing more air-flow to the engine. |
