  • Nissan Juke-R – 0 to 100 kmh in 3.7 seconds

    Nissan has officially confirmed the performance figures for Juke-R. The ultimate crossover has been developed by Nissan and built by leading motorsports outfit RML with advice from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E).

    Juke-R is powered by a 3.8-litre V6 twin turbo engine with 480BHP (353 kW) and 588Nm (434 lb-ft). From 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 257 km/h (160 mph). Not bad performance for a compact crossover.

    The vehicle also features big 20-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels fitted with low-profile performance tires. Suspension from Nissan GT-R as well as an FIA-specification roll cage and unique split rear wing.

    The interior boasts OMP race seats, all the controls and instruments from GT-R and a 7” touch-screen display is in the centre of the dashboar.

    During the 22 week project, Nissan ‘opened the doors’ on the creation of Juke-R, documenting the development story from day 1 and releasing a series of 10 videos on You Tube and via the Nissan Juke Facebook page – a series which has achieved over 2.2 million views in just 10 weeks.

    Today marks the release of the wrap-up video bringing together the full development story, showing the car in all its dynamic glory. The next installments are scheduled for January when the Nissan Juke-R hits the road.

  • Nissan Juke Nismo Concept

    Nissan will reveal Juke Nismo at the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show, next month. With its distinctive styling Nissan Juke has redefined the highly competitive B-segment, but the Juke Nismo Concept is even more dramatic. The crossover is lower, wider and has a meaner stance. Even standing still, it’s clearly a performance car.

    “The global sales success of Nissan Juke has proved beyond doubt that customers are looking for something different,” said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

    “The Juke Nismo Concept takes that idea to the next level. It’s energetic, distinctive and highly desirable.”, he added.

    The Juke Nismo Concept comes with a complete body kit giving the car not only better look, but some performance, too. It consists of a new front and rear bumpers, wider fenders and sill side skirts. The grille pattern has been changed while the tailgate spoiler has been modified by the addition of side elements to control airflow more efficiently. Even the shape of the door mirrors has been altered to enhance the car’s aerodynamic performance and reduce front and rear lift without increasing drag.

    Nissan Juke Nismo stands on 19” alloy wheels fitted with low-profile performance tires. There are also improvements in the suspension, which is lowered and the 1.6-litre direct injection turbo gasoline engine has been uprated to deliver more power and performance.

    The interior boasts a new steering wheel, pedals, gauges, shifter knob and door trims. Further underlining the performance aspects of the car, special leather-trimmed bucket seats have been added while the importance of the tachometer means the dial and needle are illuminated in red.

    A feeling of enhanced sporting quality in the cockpit can be attributed to a toned-down effect applied to previously light coloured surfaces, while the dramatic centre console – shaped to resemble a motorcycle fuel tank – has been given a metallic coating to enhance the purposeful feeling of the Concept.
