Voltaire Cacal says his 2010 Nissan Maxima is not only the perfect daily driver for him and his family of five, but it also possesses all the luxurious features he was looking for. The sports package, which comes equipped with a V6 engine at 290 hp, has since been modified with an UpRev tune by Jotech Motorsports. Additional upgrades Cacal has performed on the Maxima include an Air Lift air suspension management kit, Stillen body kit, Q50 front bumper mashup, and a carbon fiber interior wrap.
