One of a kind Nissan Juke

January 5th, 2012 posted by admin

I am a huge petrol head, okay. I love everything that has wheels and I spend many hours researching the automotive industry. I read about the classic models, but also about the latest creations of petrol heads like me. Recently something really special caught my eye, one of a kind Nissan Juke, which, believe it or not, has the same mechanical parts as the Japanese Godzilla, the GT-R, hence the name – Nissan Juke-R.

Let’s start with this, the small SUV accelerates from 0 to 60mph for less than 3.7 seconds and can reach a maximum top speed of 157mph, interested? The European division of Nissan is responsible for this monster. They took a pretty standard Juke, quite funky looking SUV - one of the different cars on the road, and put most of the guts of a pretty standard GT-R in it. And now the final version of the Juke-R is finally ready. Everything in the car is modified; even the paint is matte-black. The interior holds two racing seats, a big LCD screen, racing steering wheel and lots of switches, including the gear nob from the GT-R and lots of tubs, also called roll-bars. The suspension and everything you don’t see is also heavily modified, racing brakes, adjustable suspension, as a matter of fact only a fraction of the car is standard. The exterior is also very, very different. It actually looks amazing, huge wheels, spoilers everywhere, if you saw it on the road you would totally freak out, that’s for sure. The engine is the familiar 3.8 litre twin-turbo from the GT-R, delivering 485bhp and 588Nm of torque. There is only one problem, only two Nissan Juke-R will be produced, a left-hand drive and a right-hand drive, and that is it. However, we are all secretly hoping that it will eventually go into production; just imagine this car as a taxi or airport transfer for the rich travellers, from central London to Stansted for less than 15 minutes. Super-fast Stansted transfers, adrenalin rising ride and a boot to hold two suitcases. Of course two additional seats need to be installed, but that seems as an easy task.
