Nissan has confirmed the performance statistics for Juke-R – the supercar crossover concept which Nissan states to have the ride and handling characteristics of the GT-R. The Juke-R has been developed by Nissan in the UK and built by motorsports outfit RML with advice from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E). Over a 22-week period two models have been created – one right-hand drive and one left-hand drive – with extensive performance testing now completing the final stage of the development project.
Juke-R's 485bhp 3.8-litre V6 twin turbo engine propels the car from a standing start to 100kmph in just 3.7 seconds, before continuing on to a top speed of 257kmph.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.
