Lightweight materials like carbon-fiber was used on this car to improved its power and manueverability on the track or on the road.

I cannot say anymore about this car because the brand itself symbolizes money and power. People who have yatch or an owner of an big company will afford this one. The only thing that I like about this brand is that, they are the only car-maker that produce cars manually — building the car by hand.

Nissan introduced a vehicle that will compete with models like Ford Fiesta, Mazda 2, Toyota Vios, Honda Jazz, Kia Rio, and Hyundai Accent; the said model is a Nissan Invitation. Kinda odd for a name, but Nissan will have logic on that.

A fluidic design indicating that the model has a European concept, although the design has a similarity with Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta, and Honda Jazz.
