Nissan Juke-R Revealed

[AutoGuide.com]

How do you make the world’s ugliest crossover into the world’s most incredible looking? Apparently you hand it over to the team of championship race car builders at RML.

That’s exactly what Nissan has done with its new Juke sub-compact crossover, finally revealing the wildly styled machine as a surprise guest at the Qashqai press drive in Malaga, Spain.

With a custom widebody, an aggressively lower suspension and some extra aerodynamic tweeks, it doesn’t hurt that it’s also powered by the same twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 as the Nissan GT-R.

According to Nissan two versions of the car are being built (one left-hand drive and the other right-hand drive) and testing is set to begin in November. Testing for exactly what, Nissan didn’t say, but you can be sure some incredible videos of the first shakedown are on their way.

I wonder what the price tag would be for this ??

It really doesn't look much different than the stock SL sports package Juke except for the running boards. The wheels are different and so it the fin but those can be done after market if you want.

^^ hell yeah it does....the lower front spoiler, dramatic split rear spoiler, widened body fenders, dual exhaust system, wheels, bigger breaks and rotors....best part is what you can't see (engine internals)... just gotta know what to look for I guess

That's what I was getting at - the external stuff aside from one or two things isn't that different than the stock. If under the hood is totally revamped/different than it's no different than taking a body of a car and putting it on a different chassis/engine etc and that, to me, is a different car - not a Juke.
