The Juke-R is capable of accelerating from 0-62mph (0-100kph), in just 3.7 seconds, and can reach a top speed 160mph (257kph).
Nissan has released the official performance specifications of the Juke-R, which has been subject to the GTR’s 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo motor. It boasts 485 horsepower (362 kW/ 492 PS), making it the fastest crossover in the world.
The Juke-R is capable of accelerating from 0 to 62mph (0-100kph), in just 3.7 seconds, and can reach a top speed 160mph (257kph). This is a significant improvement on the standard 4WD Juke, which takes 8.6 seconds to accelerate. It also has a top speed at 124mph (200kph).
It is not just the 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine that Nissan has to source, but also other parts. The Juke-R gets the GT-R’s suspension, drivetrain, and FIA-specification roll-cage and split rear wing. The only thing that prevents the Juke-R performing as well as the GT-R is its aerodynamics and lower weight.
Two prototypes of the Nissan Juke-R were built: one in left-hand-drive, and one in right-hand-drive. It was created over 22 weeks by Nissan, RML Motorsports and the Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC–E).
Although the confirmation of performance specs will increase demand, full production is still a distant possibility.
