Nissan to Build Juke-R in Limited Numbers, will be More Powerful than the Concept



One of last year's wackiest concept models, the Juke-R, which blends the body of Nissan's small crossover with the driveline of the GT-R, will be made available to buy in a very limited run on a build-to-order basis, Nissan announced today.

And not only will it be built, but the production Juke-R will actually be more powerful than the concept as instead of sporting the MY10 GT-R's 485hp V6, it will get the 545-horsepower drivetrain and chassis of the improved MY12 (2013MY in North America) GT-R!

Nissan said it took the decision to produce the Juke-R after attracting enormous attention, especially since it debuted the 3.8-litre, 160mph (257km/h) model in Dubai in January this year.

"The Juke-R was originally intended as a one-off concept to marry two of Nissan’s most innovative models," said Gareth Dunsmore, Marketing Product Manager for the Juke. "But the reaction we had to the car in Dubai was amazing – people were making offers for the original on the street!"
