Chrises Cars - House in the middle of a Chinese motorway finally destroyed

China-House-on-Highway

Few days ago, we told you about a strange house house standing in the middle of a chinese highway, remember?  The house belonged to a Chinese couple, who was asked to sell it under a government expropriation scheme, but they refused. It was because they thought the compensation was too low.

The Chinese government had respect for their property and hence, the highway was created around the house, while it remained there in the middle of the road, with the owners refusing to move.

Now the piece of news about the same house is that the house has finally been demolished as the couple has now accepted the compensation of 260,000 Chinese yuan ($41,000). However, for a building having five floors, the price is low, but the owners agreed.

Bulldozers demolished the building, which according to India Times, belonged to duck farmer Luo Baogen and his wife.

Chrises Cars - Nissan unveils one-off Dark Knight Rises Juke Nismo

Nissan Dark Knight

Nissan has created a unique car, the one-off special edition of the Juke Nismo, to celebrate its partnership with Warner Bros and the launch of The Dark Night Rises on DVD and Blu-Ray on December 3.

The Dark Night Rises is the third film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Nissan has decided to give away the Nismo crossover to one lucky winner.

All you need to do is take Nissan’s Thrill Test to enter the contest to win the Juke. The contest is open until February end, and the winner will be announced in March.

The Dark Night Rises Juke has been built around the sport-tuned Nismo model. It comes packed with a 197-horsepower, 1.6-lite turbocharged inline-four, mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

It comes wrapped in a matte black paint, which adds to its overall look and make it more appealing. Scroll down and read the Press Release for further details.

PRESS RELEASE

NISSAN GOES GOTHAM WITH THE DARK KNIGHT RISES JUKE NISMO

One-off Batman-inspired Juke Nismo produced by Nissan

Built to celebrate launch of The Dark Knight RisesTM on Blu-RayTM & DVD

Based on new Juke Nismo, featuring matt black paint and Batman detailing

There can only be one winner; enter at http://www.builttothrill.co.uk/

The Dark Knight has risen – in a special one-off Nissan Juke Nismo. To celebrate Nissan’s partnership with Warner Bros and the release of the third film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy on DVD and Blu-Ray 3rd December, Nissan has produced a truly unique car.

Called The Dark Knight RisesTM Juke Nismo, the one-off machine features a host of Batman-inspired details that will make the lucky owner the envy of every movie fan and car buff.

Based on the new Juke Nismo, which goes on sale in January 2013, The Dark Knight RisesTM Juke Nismo features the same 200PS 1.6-litre turbocharged engine driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox – giving it a 0-62mph time of 7.8 seconds – as well as a Nismo bodykit, uprated suspension and enhanced interior.

But in addition, it has a whole host of Batman-inspired details that will make the driver feel just like Bruce Wayne.

Matt black paint gives a menacing look reminiscent of Batman’s Tumbler, while a shark fin antenna replaces the standard car’s conventional aerial. In addition to Nismo badging, there are aluminium

Bat badges on the front grille and tailgate while the unique gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels include bespoke red detailing, matching the eye-catching pinstripe on the bumpers and sills of the standard Juke Nismo.

Open the door and you’re greeted by Bat logos on the kickplates and reflective Bat badges on the headrests of the suede-trimmed Nismo sports seats. Thanks to downlighters mounted under the door mirrors the famous Bat signal can be projected onto the floor area around the doors. A clever uplighter projects the same signal onto the black headlining inside too.

The Dark Knight RisesTM Juke Nismo is the work of Nissan’s very own Batcave – Nissan Design Europe, based in London’s Paddington, the same studio responsible for the design of the original Juke.

The Dark Knight RisesTM Juke Nismo will not go on sale in a Nissan dealership, nor will it be made available to the highest bidder – instead the only way to get this car on your driveway is to enter a special competition at http://www.builttothrill.co.uk/. Just take the Thrill Test and you’re in with a chance of owning The Dark Knight RisesTM Juke Nismo.

The competition runs until February 28th 2013 with the winner announced early March.

Meanwhile, order books for the Juke Nismo open in January 2013 with deliveries set for March 2013. The first in a range of Nismo road cars, it has been designed and developed by Nissan’s Nismo performance division. It will be available with two transmissions: a 2WD manual or 4WD CVT automatic. Prices and full specifications for the Juke Nismo will be released closer to the car’s launch.

To summarise the changes over the standard Juke Nismo, The Dark Knight RisesTM Juke Nismo features the following:

Matt black paintwork

Aluminium Bat logos front and rear

Shark fin antenna

Black 18-inch Nismo alloy wheels with red detailing

Uplighter that projects Bat symbol on headlining

Downlighters in door mirrors to project Bat symbol on floor area by doors

Reflective Bat badges on front and rear headrests

Door sills with Bat logos

In the NHTSA tests they found that Verano’s chances of a rollover is about 11.3 percent and in case the rollover occurs General Motors has also provided for head curtain airbags that will be inflated to reduce any injury. The Verano’s 5 star rating does stand in the standard with the Buick lineup of safety ratings both from Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and NHTSA.
