Nissan Juke R

The new Nissan Juke R is not loved by many automobile journalist around the world but i love it maybe its my youthfulness that is getting the best of me or something all i know is that i love this ride. The inside is racing orientated with two race seats, full race harness and a race-spec roll cage. Steering wheel, pedals ,7-inch touch screen display come straight from the GT-R and powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo engine pinched from the Nissan GT-R. That's 480bhp, and many, many torques. Nissan has kindly flared the arches, fitted not inconsiderable air ducting and venting capacity, twin exhausts, some GT-R-spec dials and two race seats. There will be a left- and a right-hand drive model and that is all, just two examples will be made. It is by no means a production car, but a road legal concept car. Apparently it will be used to test customer response to some of the concept car’s features for use in future ‘sport’ versions of the Juke. Personally, I think this is a pointless exercise: everybody will want the huge engine, incredible noise, intimidating body panels and racing-orientated interior. And, of course, Nissan will say ‘no’.
