Dubbed the world's fastest crossover, Juke-R is a unique concept car that
combines the power, speed and handling of Nissan's flagship GT-R sports car with
the bold, exciting design of the Juke crossover model. Images and video reflect
the thought-provoking, energetic style of this urban rebel crossover, while its
foreboding matt black finish enhances the car's rebellious personality.
The car's unique, impactful styling places Juke's curves and lines over GT-R's
3.8-liter engine, drivetrain and suspension, making Juke-R the most
testosterone-packed compact crossover in the world. It is a force to be reckoned
with not only in performance but also in its bold and menacing design.
Large, provocative vents in the front bumper provide cooling for the Juke-R's
twin turbo V6 engine, while subtle submerged ducts in the bonnet help draw air
through the engine bay. Flared wheel arches cover the GT-R's 20-inch RAYS forged
alloy wheels to merge with a new sculpted skirting. At the back of the car a
dynamic split rear wing provides the supercar crossover with down-force, while
twin pentagonal exhausts emit the GT-R's evocative engine note.
Inside, the Juke's motorcycle-inspired console is at the center of a modified
interior cabin fitted out to go racing complete with twin race seats, full race
harness and a race-spec roll cage. GT-R steering wheel, pedals, dials and 7-inch
touch-screen display are built into a modified version of Juke's dashboard.
Officially announced by Nissan Europe in October, Juke-R is not a production car
but a special, road legal concept car. Two versions of the Juke-R are being
created - one in left-hand-drive and one in right-hand-drive. Juke-R will go
into testing in late November before it's unleashed on the world to take on the
urban playground.
