Nissan is a Japanese brand that’s doing relatively well in Europe, helped by niche creating models such as the Qashqai and Juke. Instead of foolishly going head on with Golf class hatchbacks and superminis with a like-for-like product, these crossovers offer a unique bodyshell in their respective segments. They’ve been successful with sales of more than 100,000 Jukes after just a year on sale, so now it’s time for some fun.
This work in progress is the Juke-R, the first ever super crossover. Super because this is a Juke that thinks it’s a GT-R. The flared wheel arches, revised front and rear bumpers plus a unique split rear wing hint at the GT-R’s 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine under the hood. Under the boot hides the Godzilla’s six-speed transaxle, with the front and rear ends joined by a modified GT-R 4WD driveline and prop shaft. Chunky 20-inch RAYS forged alloys wrap things up.
Inside, the Juke’s dashboard has been transformed to accommodate the gauges, dials and 7-inch customisable LCD display from the GT-R. The Juke’s unique bike fuel tank inspired centre console remains. Two race-seats with five-point harnesses sit inside a visible roll cage.
Unfortunately, the Juke-R is not for production. It’s a one-off, road legal concept car, developed by Nissan and built by motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan Technology Centre for Europe (NTC-E). Built to gauge the public’s reaction to a seriously sporty Juke, first tests are expected to be done in November. Crazy stuff!

Any idea when will Tan Chong Nissan be bringing in the normal Juke? S’pore and Indonesia already have theirs.
In the pipeline
pipeline going which direction? the drain? lolz
to indah water…
Surely it will be priced more than RM150k here … :cry:
Nissan’s manager said, a few weeks ago, it is not coming to Malaysia. Don’t know how true his statement is.
Singapore also already have GTR… under ETC…but malaysian still need to get it from Grey importers… without a manufacturer warranty!! damn
GRT engine n trans in this cute lil thing..damn!!!..i so want !
love the spoiler
This is a Juke that I won’t mind earning. Surprising how a change of rims and addition of bodykit can do so much to the looks. :D
hope it come with at least 2.0 Turbo…. so it can smoke that ugly Murano(2 gen)….
did you not read the part it said it comes with the GT-R’s engine?
Hey guys, this is out of topic…. but since the crude oil in the open market has gone down to below US$80, why the gomen haven’t reduce our fuel price yet? it was from US$97 sometime back, so there is a reduction of over 17%, so our new petrol should be below RM1.60/liter (17% reduction).
Maybe the gov will announce it before the election. The funny thing is.. why nobody want to highlight this oil price issue?
maybe ppl in the gomen wan to hide facts n figures, but we can anythime google anything n find the facts n figures. this is the age of instant available information thru the internet…. on gomen can stop the flow of the facts n figures
will not go down, because petronas wants to make money, and GE is coming near. they need tons of money for campaign. faham2 je la.
The 17% reduction comes to about 30 sen, and the “subsidi kerajaan” is about 40 sen, so no price reduction lah. Only the “subisidi kerajaan” reduced to about 10 sen per liter.
(Assumption: USD97/barrel –> RM2.30/liter)
Not that I don’t wish we have cheaper petrol, but ….
Crazy but makes my blood boil. Probably gets more attention in this than the actual GTR.
yeah.. go kill the mini countryman.
Ah the Juke-R. Perfect car for the Joker.
Grinding without safety masks and while the fabric seat is still installed? Excellent safety standards Nissan!
Aiyoh, you also another one; need to read article properly.
Nissan supplied the cars lah. RML is the one doing the build!
Aiyoh, grinding no wear safety gloves and goggles, RML can really be FML…
Much respect!
wahh…i like this juke…yep..its Joker rides! huaahaha…

Juke-R video in progress!awesome!
Looks like Mad Max car…
lovely
it’s not for everyone, i have to say. actually i almost threw up in my mouth.
this looks interesting, something fun to see on the road. way to go nissan. please no more very important proton..
what a messed up infantile metal.
Come on guys, this car isn’t ‘Jukey’ enough but it looks unpleasantly ‘frog-gy’ (macam kodok kononnya)….
i bet if this juke-R really using all the running gear from GTR this should be faster than the GTR itself thanks to lighter kerb weight…..ekekekekek
Omg. It looks like they just compacted a Murano + Skyline + Swift together.
