Juke does it two by two
1:36 PM
Stephen Wade Nissan
The new Nissan Juke took to the fabled Goodwood Hill at the recent Festival of Speed in the UK and while its pace was far from quick, it still managed to break a record.
And to prove it wasn't a fluke, the Juke - with stunt driver Terry Grant at the wheel - successfully completed the course no fewer than five times, sometimes with passengers on board.
Although Grant made it look easy, it was anything but. "It was really hairy... bloody hard work," he confessed afterwards. "If you know what you're doing, driving a car on two wheels in a straight line is comparatively easy. But the Goodwood course has corners, inclines and obstacles... there are trees and walls everywhere. I nearly rolled it on every run."
Ramp and go
To get car onto two wheels, Grant used a ramp just ahead of the start line before heading towards Goodwood House and the first corner, a near 90-degree right.at was where it started getting tricky. I had to tease it round, knowing that if I turned the wheel too far - or touched the grass - I'd be on the roof. Not enough and it would fall back onto all four wheels," said Grant.
But worse was to come. One of the most famous obstacles on the course is a stout flint wall towards the end of the course and which juts onto the track.
"Driving on two wheels is like driving with one hand over your left eye and another hand obscuring half the right - from where I was, tucked down on the right of the car, all I could see was the bonnet of the car and a bit of sky. I couldn't see where the wall was at all."
The stunt captured the imagination of the huge crowds who were clapping and cheering all the way up the hill, while even hard-bitten journalists watching the run on monitors in the event's media centre were willing him on.
All aboard
Not content with driving the Juke solo, Grant also took passengers on three of the runs. "I had circuit commentator Amanda Stretton on one run, complete with 12 on-board cameras. I also took Lewis Hamilton's father Anthony up the hill - both Amanda and Anthony sat in the back on their runs.
"But the most difficult was on the Sunday when I took Aussie motorcycle stunt rider Robbie Maddison up. Robbie was in the front, half out of the car and waving to the crowds all the way up."
The Juke used was a standard production model, though for safety reasons before each run it was fitted with new Yokohama production tyres.
Encore
After the show at the Festival of Speed, Grant and the Nissan team then decamped to the nearby Goodwood race circuit and set about another stunt, this time by lapping the track in the all-electric Nissan Leaf. In reverse.
Because the EV doesn't have a conventional transmission it can, in theory, travel as fast backwards as it can forwards. On his fastest lap the Leaf peaked at 100km/h. Going forwards it will reach 145km/h, suggesting that there might be more to come. Nissan has confirmed it is looking at future record attempts.
But it won't be easy. Terry Grant said: "Driving backwards at those speeds is very tricky. You have to be super smooth at all times: any sudden movement of the steering wheel can have disastrous consequences."
For the moment, though the only problem associated with Nissan's week of record breaking has befallen driver Terry Grant. After spending the weekend on two wheels and the early part of the week driving backwards, Grant confesses that his neck now feels somewhat stiff..

As you can see, the 2011 Quest has been completely redesigned with a fresh new exterior. It has a bold front grille and and a broad stance, giving a beautiful but strong look.
We're digging the side profile. The new window design provides optimum visibility.

The DVD screen also gets an upgrade. The new Quest has an available 11 inch screen.
The Quest continues to maintain the ultra-large captain's chairs up front, giving ultimate comfort for Mom and Dad :) The dash also gets a sleek new redesign.
Hate dealing with blind spots? The new 2011 Quest has you covered! Now available with a Blind Spot Warning System. Wow.

Located behind the 3rd row, the 2011 Quest also has a permanent rear storage well with a 60/40 lid.
Between the fold-flat seats and the storage well, the Quest offers a wide variety of seating configurations.
The Quest continues it's legacy as one of the most comfortable minivans on the planet with plenty of leg room all around and large captain's chairs in the middle row.
Since one is never enough, the Quest continues with it's available double sunroof.
Forgot your pressure gauge? Don't worry! The Quest now has a new feature that actually sounds a friendly horn beep as soon as you've reached the appropriate tire pressure. What will they think of next?
