Nissan Juke-R Ready For Testing

The world's fastest crossover is one step closer to being on our roads. Weirdly though, Nissan say it won't be a production car but instead a road legal concept. Two will be made; one with right hand drive for us Brits and Japan and one with left hand drive for everyone else. The Juke-R is a simple combination. Take the 3.8L twin turbo V6 from the GT-R that pumps out 480bhp as well as the drivetrain and the suspension and then put those underneath the body of a weird looking compact crossover. Sounds hilarious doesn't it? There is a bit more to it than that obviously. The unique body has bigger circular vents at the front so the twin turbo V6 stays
The interior gets a few changes as well. The normal Juke can seat five at a squeeze while the Juke-R is only a two seater since there is a race-spec roll cage in the back. The driver and passenger are seated in hardcore bucket seats and strapped into them with a full race harness. Other interior changes include the same steering wheel, pedals and 7″ touch screen display from the GT-R fitted into a modified version of the everyday Juke’s dashboard.

Both Juke-Rs, which are like Steve Austin on wheels, will start testing at the end of this month but, as I mentioned at the beginning, I’m doubting there’s any chance that it will make production, sorry about that crazy car fans.
