The latest Nissan Juke-R model, called the Juke -R 2.0, has been given a public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

When Nissan first combined the Juke body with the GT-R sports car’s engine and running gear back in 2011 they billed it as the world’s first Crossover supercar, and now the Juke-R 2.0 follows on from the launch of the latest Juke range late last year.

The new and improved Juke-R 2.0 features bolder and more muscular styling, but the enhancements are more than just skin deep as the model now boasts 600bhp. The Juke-R 2.0 will be on display at Goodwood over the weekend, and will be put through its paces by Le Mans 24hr GT driver Jann Mardenborough.

Gareth Dunsmore, Marketing Communications General Manager for Nissan Europe said, “The Juke-R has become an iconic Crossover supercar and with the launch of the latest Juke model last year, it was the natural choice to upgrade the original Juke-R with added power and even bolder styling. The Juke-R 2.0 is a perfect ‘crossover’ of the best bits of Nissan – real innovation showcasing our Crossover prowess fused with the excitement and of the GT-R supercar engine.”

Nissan will soon celebrate five years of Juke production, during which time over 600,000 examples have been sold on the European market.
