As expected, the fourth video presenting the Juke-R's building process has been released. Today Nissan is offering various details regarding the engine powering the Juke-R. Yes, we know its final output. It will be 480 bhp. For those of you who are not familiar with the Juke-R yet, we have to give you a few hints. Its power comes from a Nissan GT-R engine, which has been modified to fit in the space usually occupied by a 1.6-litre powertrain.
When putting the GT-R engine into the Nissan Juke-R, one of the main issues RML engineers had to solve is cooling. This is why the Juke-R has a new bonnet with large air vents. Apart from the new air intakes, the Juke-R also receives the entire cooling system found in the Nissan GT-R.
In the next video, RML engineers will explain the techniques they used to transfer the transmission and drivetrain of the GT-R into the Nissan Juke-R.
Meanwhile, watch the fourth video lower down this page.
