Nissan Juke GT-R no joke

Yes, the Juke is that oddball crossover from Nissan. Yes, their boffins have deemed it worthy of some old fashioned engine shoe-horning, and yup… it’s the contents of a GT-R supercar bonnet that they’ve pilfered. But why?

Well why the hell not? Before you whip out your cheque book, you should know that it’s just a one off concept to test the public’s reactions. Having said that, it IS full street legal and is currently undergoing development and testing. This could really happen people!

This is why this matters; full access to the GT-R’s all wheel drivetrain and 390kW twin-blown V6 in something with the footprint of a VW Golf WILL be epically fun! And that’s essentially what the ethos of the Juke is. Also, look at the pictures attached, surely that’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen emasculate a Porsche 911?

The undeniable truth about Juke

In my own point of view, it isn’t a joke as Juke of Nissan appears to be funky in unique among other models out there. Basically, this is a hatchback vehicle that raises its competition with other hatches crafted by Honda, Ford etc. When talking its performance, definitely the engine is that main showcase of this vehicle as it could produce up to 188BHP and has less mileage. On the same way, it has a fuel efficiency features that made it so in demand these days. However, another thing would be the ease of tuning and maintenance. There are now excellent replacement parts like fan shroud, exterior parts and even suspension parts, which anyone could easily accessed. Some of them are of great deals hence of reliable performance.

Man it is UGLY. But that said, I am feeling a tug at my heart strings. I cannot believe I am about to say this but:  "I WANT ONE!"
