Nissan Delivers Juke-R #001

First customer Juke-R has even more power than the concept. But if you don't have the $650,000 on hand, at least you'll be able to drive it on your smartphone.

With the 478-horsepower engine from the 2010 Nissan GT-R propelling it to 62 in 3.7 seconds and on to a 160mph top speed, it'd be hard to find a faster crossover than the Juke-R. But now that Nissan has delivered the first customer example of its extreme tall-hatch, more power is exactly what it found. By fitting the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 from a newer GT-R, Nissan has upped the muscle in Juke-R #001 to 545 horsepower, taking it to 62 in an estimated three seconds flat and on to 170 mph.

The first customer Juke-R has ditched the sinister matte black finish of the concept for a sparkling coat of white, which only helps show off the tweaked front end, carbon trim, rear diffuser and additional cooling vents on the production version. What's more is that, with the second example already under construction, the Nissan Technical Centre Europe and the RML racing team with which it has partnered will build you one, too, assuming you have the £400,000 (or $650k) to pony up. If you don't, though, Nissan has the 200-horsepower Juke Nismo to offer.

Don't have the scratch together for that, either? Nissan has teamed up with Gameloft to include both the Juke-R and the Juke Nismo in the new "Asphalt 7: Heat" mobile racing game, which you can check out in the brief video clip below.

The mouth of the car looks like Barney from the Simpsons IMO. Cool car though.

on-topic, the more nissan do quirky/performance stuff the better so ugly or not bring it on

How mad of a bitch it would be to do a engine swap when the time comes...

Awesome ride but if I had a spare 650K to blow it wouldn't be on the juke R

[Tai1or Made]

I'm not a fan of how it looks.

But thanks to Nissan for doing something a bit mental.

Being so aerodynamic and all it would make sense!

I think its a wild concept and would bring the lols so go Nissan! They should do more random stuff

Aerodynamic for the Juke or Cube?

And yes it does bring the lols!

No worries

I agree. If OEM's are at all involved in making the performance car landscape more varied and interesting I say why not? Bring on the lulz.

They're all sold, even at that ridiculous price.

Wait till you start seeing AMS Alpha 12 Juke's destroying Italian exotics on youtube.

They did a test and it's not that far off the R35 GTR...

Meant Cube

looks all messed up

I really liked this video by Car and Driver too.

Looks like a laugh, but most people with the money would choose a car to be taken seriously in.

I loooove the slow mo effect in this video. I'm trying to figure out how to do it with my gopro camera

Had a look over the Juke R at the Paris motorshow

Loved seeing the Jukes every where in London and Paris and the R was even cooler, just not sure about the front end and that price tag listed!

[MattR]

^same as above not a fan of the front spoiler with odd round holes, looks worse with the white one that got sold

normal Juke has just been confirmed by nissan for sale here mid next year.

Like the colour combination

Hate the car body and insides , those slab guards look like a hyundia with add on flares , the grill looks like a charlie brown cartoon face, and the insides look like a hyundia getz !!

Good for nissan to do stuff like that

Price is insane and bet it floats like a plane at 170 haha scary I bet

Should buy up honda and drop it in the mugen CRZ looks better , or do a retro 1200 coupe wide body or 510 instead , or even a retro gtr body with updated driveteain and comforts inside ? Camaro charger, stang style ??

Then price it about 60-80k and watch the que up to buy them ??

should also make gtr r35 crate motor drop ins for 32,33,34 that would be cool ?

[Adriano]

I like how an extra 80hp is estimated to drop the 0-100 from 3.7 to 3 flat, at that rate ill have another 200 and do it in 1sec flat
