Nissan has confirmed that two ‘Juke-R' models are currently in development in conjunction with RML, one left-hand drive, and the other right-hand drive. Both will be fully-road legal and will feature the engine lifted straight out of its supercar sibling: a twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 producing 480bhp and many torques. It also gets the GT-R's six-speed transaxle, with the front and rear ends joined together via a modified GT-R four-wheel-drive driveline and prop-shaft. No performance figures have been released, but first tests will commence in November. Consider that drivetrain can propel a 1700kg GT-R to 62mph in three seconds. Consider the standard Juke weighs around 1250kg.
The dashboard has been changed too, to host the GT-R's gauges, dials and 7in customisable LCD display, telling you many important things like levels of ‘G' and the exact position of your morning Shreddies in your lower intestine.
There are twin race seats. There are five point harnesses. There are massive 20in Rays forged alloy wheels. There is a roll cage. There is madness.
Nissan's Paul Wilcox said the Juke-R "showcases two of the most exciting cars in our range and highlights the technical innovation that drives Nissan".
Would you like to see a ‘seriously sporty' Nissan Juke? If your answer was a babbling, squealing, high-pitched ‘yes', then you should tell Nissan immediately. Tell Nissan right now, because what you see above is the most potent Juke ever built.
