Nissan to Unveil Altima V8 Supercar on October 30 - Historic Moment to be Streamed Live on YouTube

MELBOURNE – Oct 23, 2012: Nissan will unveil its first Altima V8 Supercar to the world on Tuesday 30 October 2012 in Melbourne, Australia.

The highly-anticipated event will be streamed live online via YouTube, giving fans in Australia and across the globe the chance to see the first glimpse of the spectacular race car.

The unveiling of the Nissan Altima will be a historic moment for the sport of V8 Supercars, which has been the domain of purely Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores for the past two decades.

Nissan Motorsport will campaign four Altimas in the V8 Supercars Championship from next season, powered by the quad-cam, 32-valve, production-based Nissan VK56DE engine that was unveiled in September.

Nissan will undertake two exciting and innovative online broadcasts to ensure that fans can be a part of this momentous occasion and share in Nissan Motorsport’s journey to the grid.

A live feed of the Altima V8 Supercar unveil will be streamed via the Nissan Australia YouTube channel, YouTube.com/NissanAustralia, beginning at 10:30am AEDST on Tuesday 30 October 2012.

Following the morning unveil, Nissan will then host a Google + Hangout On Air with driver and team Racing Director Todd Kelly, as well as the Altima V8 Supercar, from the team’s headquarters in Braeside, Melbourne at 5:00pm AEDST that evening.

This online video conference will see Kelly provide an in-depth explanation of the Altima race car and offer fans the chance to ask questions about Nissan’s all-new, ground-breaking V8 Supercar.
