To be fair, the Juke model was something we before never really associated with power and performance. However, when Nissan got in touch with us to explain the premise of a special and one off Juke based concept, we were all ears.
They are putting together what they are calling a 'Super Juke' based on the popular crossover model. What makes this special is not just the stripped out interior, wider arches, front splitter and split rear wing but the 480BHP powerplant (which just happens to be a similar output to the first generation R35 GT-R) which lies beneath. Taking a look at the concept sketch, those do look like GT-R wheels with some rather large Brembo brakes behind them.
Although there is no official word if the car will be brought into production, we have been told that the car is a reality and that we will hear more about it sooner, rather than later …
