Shoehorning the suspension and drivetrain from a Nissan GT-R into the Juke crossover always had the potential to produce some spectacular results.
And it seems that that promise has been realised, judging by the performance figures that Nissan has just released for its Juke-R project.
A top speed of 160 mph (257 km/h) is more than adequate, if not stunning, but it’s the acceleration that really impresses: zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) is claimed to take just 3.7 seconds.
That time may not beat the donor GT-R, but it is better than the 3.9 seconds of the Porsche 911GT3 RS 4.0, for example.
Such supercar-humbling ability obviously means the Juke-R easily outshines the regular version:
The Juke-R has been developed in the UK by Nissan in collaboration with Nissan Technical Centre Europe and race team RML. That motorsports influence is clearly evident, too, as the Juke-R features a full FIA-specification roll cage, OMP race seats, 20-inch Rays forged alloy wheels and a substantial rear wing.
Just two examples have been built for now, but sadly the chances of the Juke-R making it into series production seem rather slim.
