One expensive ass Juke, but that would actually be a pretty cool little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Isn't the Juke smaller than the GTR? Nissan better be careful or there will be Jukes embarassing GTR owners. Same powertrain + lighter car = .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 fwd, short wheel base. It'll be a disaster. A kick ass disaster. It gets the whole GTR treatment, including the AWD system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 130k pounds roughly they said? One expensive ass Juke, but that would actually be a pretty cool little car. I heard it would be built to order and closer to 200k. Isn't the Juke smaller than the GTR? Nissan better be careful or there will be Jukes embarassing GTR owners. Same powertrain + lighter car = .... Yes, but its also twice as much and only built to order. fwd, short wheel base. It'll be a disaster. A kick ass disaster. Nope. Look at it this way, it's a GTR with a different skin. That includes its awd drivetrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Lets put it this way, if you can order it for 200k you're not worried about what else you could buy with that money. People will buy this for the simple fact that only a handful of other will own one and it is a tiny car with a fuck ton of potential.

BigOxley Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Juke R is slower than the GTR around the track (Juke weighs more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 The current Juke-R is a one-off concept done for fun. The suspension is not well tuned. Evo magazine did an article on it and it had some issues cornering because the GTR suspension was essentially just welded onto the Juke unibody. As for the weight, I'm shocked if it weighs more. The GTR is around 900lbs heavier than the base Juke. I can't imagine the GTR's powertrain weighing nearly half a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Nothing new to report but someone got the idea of putting a 500hp nissan juke on ice would make for an EXTREME ad bruh.
