Finally, the 2013 Nissan Juke-R production version has just been revealed today, showing a modified look and announcing more power. Yes, the production version of the Juke-R (2013) is more powerful than the original concept, which had a huge positive impact on Nissan’s clients. The 2013 Nissan Juke-R is powered by the same 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine as the one on the GT-R and it develops 545 bhp. So far, its torque output has not been announced. Nissan's official specifications of the 2013 Juke-R say it can accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.0 seconds and that it can reach a top speed of 170mph (275 km/h). The 2013 Juke-R is equipped with the GT-R's transmission, suspension and all-wheel-drive system too.
The first production unit, the Juke-R #001, keeps the same body kit than the original concept. In comparison to the standard Juke, the 2013 Juke-R comes with a new bonnet, a new front spoiler, a wider body thanks to wheel arch extensions, and a new rear bumper with an integrated carbon diffuser. The trim on the front and rear cooling vents is also made from carbon. At the rear, the 2013 Juke-R shows a two-piece roof wing and two large exhaust tail pipes.
At the interior, Nissan's 2013 Juke-R features many of the parts you'll see inside the GT-R.
These include the steering wheel, parts of the dashboard and of the center console. Nissan also equipped the production Juke-R with two sport bucket seats with Sabelt harnesses, and a FIA-approved roll cage. There are various carbon fiber trim parts too. The rear seats found in the standard Juke appear to have been removed, so the 2013 Juke-R is a two seater.
The 2013 Nissan Juke-R #001 is on its way to its customer, and the carmaker says it has already started working on #002. The Nissan Juke-R' price starts at 500,000 EUR in Europe and at £400,000 GBP in the UK.
