The Jukezilla

Post by zaxrex »

So, what happens when you throw the VR38DETT into a Juke?

Or at least that is what Jalopnik says is going on under the hood.

That is going to be one hella expensive Juke...

Shame to waste all that hardware and talent to make a one off.

Nissan Puts the 545-HP NIssan Juke-R into Production
Nissan has announced that it is going to build last year's Nissan Juke-R concept. The concept combined the body of the Juke crossover with the GT-R's twin-turbo V6 engine and the GT-R's all-wheel-drive system.

Fans of the Juke-R concept will be excited to hear that the biggest change for the production version will be that it will actually be even more powerful. The Juke-R concept packed 485 horsepower, but the production version will get the updated 2013 GT-R engine which now packs 545 horsepower.

Nissan decided to put the Juke-R into production after the positive response the concept received. "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."

Nissan is only going to produce the Juke-R on a limited build-to-order basis. Official pricing hasn't been announced, but it's estimated that it will cost around $200,000. Nissan has already reportedly received three orders for the Juke-R.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

What did you expect for a hand-built exotic marketed directly to the citizens of Dubai?
