Nissan released today their official video showing the high-performance Juke-R during its initial tests on the track. Today's clip was filmed on the MIRA proving ground, where the engineers tested all the Juke-R's systems for the first time. After these initial trials, the Nissan Juke-R was taken to the Silverstone racetrack, where it was pushed to the limits. Even though specific details have not been released, Nissan announced it is pleased with the results. The car looks like a Juke on steroids, but it sounds exactly like a GT-R.
Apart from the last video of the series, Nissan also released today a new set of amazing images, showing the Juke-R in full color.
The Nissan Juke-R is basically a GT-R supercar covered in a crossover body. Nissan took a production Juke crossover, and replaced its engine, gearbox and drivetrain with parts taken from the GT-R. The new super-crossover also features various interior parts taken from the GT-R, as well as sport bucket seats and a full roll cage. It's aerodynamics, brakes, and suspension system have been modified to be able to keep up with the 480 hp coming from the 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 engine.
