Nissan has delivered the first Juke-R to the customer and in the same time, fullfilled the promise of making the powerfull version of the urban crossover Juke.
This small beast is powered by Nissan GT-R's 3.8-liter V6 with 485 hp. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 3.7 seconds and it hits top speed of 257 km/h. It shared drivetrain and suspension with the actuall GT-R and the FIA-spec roll cage.
Nissan has confirmed production of Juke-R, a muscled-up version of small crossover Juke.
According to Nissan, there are already three orders for this car, and apparently two of those orders came from “high-profile and well-respected member of Dubai society”. That's probably due to very successful trip to UAE.
When owning and driving a car such as Nissan GT-R R35, you want some personal touch to it and that's where the Dutch company Van Kerkhof & Visscher Group comes in.
They offer 48 diffrent colors for your R35's interor, to make it as personal as you want. Large range of leather, velour and alcantara options with lots of stitching variations. That way you will be the only one with red flaming interior with green stiching, if that's what you want.
They also offer personalization on the chasis with diffrent colors and lowering the car for better stability and looks.
Rumor has it that Infiniti will come out with a new model based on the supercar Nissan GT-R. No one is sure what the specifications will be, but it may be similar to the Nissan GT-R's 525 Horsepower, 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged engine.
In addition, Infiniti is known to be luxuries, meaning we may see a luxurious supercar in the making. Something suitable for those who want speed with comfort. However, don't expect this vehicle to be unveiled this year, because it was said that it may take to two or three years before even seeing a concept.
Stay Tuned!

One of the speedhunter.com readers grabbed a few spy shots of an uncommon GTR, which was private test among the GT1 cars on Aragon Circuit in Spain. He clearly specified that the engine notes were different than GT1 cars, sounding more VR38 than a V8.
More information was released by NISMO's press release, but without any pictures.
