The Nissan Juke-R Concept

21st October 2011 Cat: Nissan

The Nissan Juke-R, a perception car beefed track of the Nissan GT-R’s drivetrain, continues to be introduced — but the automaker insists “the car isn’t for production.”

Nissan said in a very statement which the road-legal Juke-R concept was designed to “test the public’s respond to a seriously sporty Juke.” Only two Juke-Rs will probably be built, one out of left-hand-drive and something in right-hand-drive, by motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan Technology Center for Europe.

The Juke’s standard 188-horsepower 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine has become replaced because of the 530-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine through the GT-R.

Exterior cues include flared wheel arches, revised back and front bumpers, 20-inch forged alloy wheels, along with a split rear wing.

The cabin gets the gauges, dials and 7-inch Liquid crystal display from the GT-R. The Juke-R also gets twin race-seats with five-point harnesses and also a roll cage.

“Juke applies perfectly to a sports derivative and Juke-R explores that territory,” said Nissan.

Nissan on Monday stated it who has sold 27,459 Jukes within the U.S. calendar year-to-date. When the car took sale last fall, Nissan predicted it could possibly sell 25,000-30,000 within the U.S.
