Juke

Just bought the Mrs a Nissan Juke, cool car, i liked that it looked a bit Paris-Dakar...
but coz its only got a 1600cc motor i wont even bother driving it...


Then i found this, The Juke-R



The Juke-R got worldwide attention when a team of Englishmen started this project with a Juke. The aim was to swap all the mechanics with the one from the Nissan GT-R. The Juke will sprint to 62 in just 3.7 seconds and in less than seven seconds extra the car will hit 120 mph.

When it comes to extreme production cars, the limited run Nissan Juke-R takes the cake, and rightfully so since the Japanese automaker essentially dropped the body of its small crossover over the (shortened) chassis and power train of the supercar-slaying GT-R sports car.


In prototype form, the Juke-R uses the MY10 GT-R's 485hp V6, but the actual production model, which will carry a base price of €473,000, will get the even more powerful 545hp turbocharged engine from the improved MY12 (2013MY in North America) GT-R.



Cool
