The cars have been developed by Nissan and are being built by leading motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan Technology Centre for Europe (NTC-E). Testing of the car will begin in November.

Nissan Juke-R will be powered by the same hand-built 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 with 523BHP (385 kW) at 6400RPM and 610Nm (452 lb-ft) of torque at 6000RPM. It is mated to a 6-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.

The ultimate crossover will also come with improved sports suspension and huge brake system by Brembo.

However, the vehicle is currently under development, the bold design of the Juke is clear to see. The aerodynamics package includes flared wheel arches, revised front and rear bumpers plus a unique split rear wing.

Juke-R is powered by a a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with whopping 530PS. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with the front and rear ends joined by a modified GT-R 4WD driveline and prop shaft.

The monster stands on enormous 20” RAYS forged alloy rims fitted with high-performance low-profile tires.

The interior boasts new gauges, dials and 7-inch customisable LCD display from the GT-R. There are also twin race-seats with five-point harnesses sit inside a visible roll cage that gives FIA safety standards as well as enhanced rigidity to provide the ultimate performance.

“Nissan Juke is one of the most exciting cars on the market today. Its bold crossover design has captured the imagination of car buyers all over Europe; after just a year on sale we are celebrating sales of more than 100,000 units,” said Paul Willcox, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Nissan in Europe.

“Juke lends itself perfectly to a sports derivative and Juke-R explores that territory. Equally at home on road and track, Juke-R showcases two of the most exciting cars in our range and highlights the technical innovation that drives Nissan. This car will more than live up to the dynamic driving experience we engineer into all our cars.”, he finished.
