Nissan delivers first Juke-R to undisclosed customer

Introduced in Spain out of a pet project from Nissan UK, back in 2011, Nissan has finally delivered the first Juke-R to an undisclosed customer at a price of (just) S$798,021 (€500,000).

For those who can't recollect the details, the Juke-R is essentially a secret lovechild between the Juke SUV and the 'Godzilla' GT-R. The powertrain and suspension are lifted from the GT-R with an FIA-specified roll cage fitted to the body. The Juke-R is the fastest crossover thanks to a 3.8-litre V6 with 545 mini-Godzillas at the throttle. The stock Juke could hit a century in 8.6 seconds with a maximum speed of 200km/h. The Juke-R rips its stock brother completely with a century sprint under 3 seconds and a maximum top speed of 275km/h.

The Nismo specked Juke will go on sale in early 2013. It is powered by a tweaked 1.6-litre engine with 215bhp. Cosmetically it will wear different bumpers, a fresh front grille and wider side skirts. It will sit on 18-inch alloys and can be ordered in either two-or four-wheel drive versions.
