You can dream whatever you want.

Nissan has replaced the Juke’s funky look with the kicks. However, the Juke is still available in other markets. The model’s quirkiness is still evident, but it’s less prominent than ever. The Juke-R was the first generation of Nissan’s crossover. It featured the Nissan GT-R twin-turbo V6. Although Nissan no longer offers such a model, Kolesa.ru has created new renderings of the Juke-R.

The second-generation Juke retains its aggressive styling. It still has a slim greenhouse and chunky fenders. A bold front fascia is also included. Although it looks sporty enough for such a powerful powertrain, the renderings give it a little more pizzazz than the standard crossover.

The rear and front are the most significant changes. Modern Juke-R replaces front bumper with taller, sportier part. The front features a large intake, flanked by two black fog lights housings. These are located below the headlights. The Juke-R has thicker side sills. The roof spoiler receives a roof-mounted wings. All of this is hidden below a rear bumper and diffuser that features four large round exhaust pipes.

Although the subtle changes and the new wheels and lowered suspension look great, the spoiler is unnecessary. It’s unlikely that Nissan will produce a new Juke-R, or any other high-performance crossover. The hybrid Juke-R variant was introduced by last month. It combines a 1.6-liter four cylinder with two electric motors.

It is unlikely that we will see another Juke-R from Nissan in the near future. The GT-R’s twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter engine was tuned to GT-R Nismo’s 600 horsepower (447 Kilowatts) & 481 pound-feet (652 Newton-meters), respectively. That model made a splash. This is a lot of power, especially for a small crossover. It’s likely that Nissan never made many. The new interpretation however makes us long for such a model.
