WHILE Nissan representatives in Nigeria, Alliance Autos is planning big for this years Abuja Motor Show scheduled from October 12 to 20th, 2011, Nissan Motors South Africa is also preparing to show Nissan customers that the brand is the one to look out for at the forthcoming Johannesburg International Motor Show scheduled for early next month.

According to information reaching Autoworld from South Africa, the revered international brand plans to steal the show with its array of models

Not only will motoring lovers get a sneak peek of the much anticipated Nissan Juke and multi-award winning Nissan LEAF, but they’ll also have the chance to show off their driving skills in a Nissan GT-R Playstation 3 simulator, with the added opportunity of winning some massive prizes.

Central to this year’s exhibition is the SUV/Coupé hybrid that motor enthusiasts just can’t seem to get enough of. The distinctively-styled Juke combines the multi-functionality offered by an SUV with the style and comfort of a luxury Coupé to create a new breed of crossover.

In only five short months the Juke has already garnered a host of awards as well as a five star Euro NCAP safety rating. On display for the first time on African soil, the Juke is sure to be the talk of the show.

Joining the Juke on stage is the eco-friendly Nissan LEAF, the first mass-marketed fully-electric zero emissions vehicle in its class. As the winner of both the World Car of the Year and European Car of the Year awards, the Nissan LEAF is testament to Nissan’s innovative approach in providing the world with cleaner and more affordable cars.

Besides an occasion to experience these thrilling new additions to the Nissan fleet, the show will also play host to an exciting competition with some amazing prizes. Visitors at the Nissan stand will have the chance to put their driving skills to the test in one of two Nissan GT-R Playstation 3 driving simulators.

The player with the fastest time and a valid driver’s licence will win a day at the Zwartkops Racetrack trying out the ‘real deal’ in the company of motor legend Wilhelm Baard. Runners-up and those without a driver’s licence will stand to win one of three Playstation 3 consoles with added extras.

Come and visit the 4×4 track at the show where Nissan will have a selection of 4×4 vehicles available for test-drive, namely the Pathfinder, Patrol Pickup, Navara, X-Trail and the Patrol Station Wagon
