Nissan has confirmed the performance statistics for the Juke-R, a supercar crossover concept.
The Nissan Juke-R is officially the fastest crossover car in the world. With a top speed of 160mph and the ability to accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds, Nissan has gone a long way to achieving its aim of combining the power and handling of the GT-R with the larger body of the Juke.
The Juke-R was developed by Nissan and built in the UK by motorsports outfit RML, with help from Nissan Technical Centre Europe. Two cars have been created, and they have now completed a range of performance tests.
The Juke-R concept car has a 3.8-litre 485bhp V6 twin turbo engine and can sprint up from 0-61mph in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 160mph. Nissan has used the suspension and drivetrain from the GT-R, and have included a roll cage and unique split rear wing, in an attempt to provide supercar performance and handling in a compact crossover. Due to the less aerodynamic shape and heavier weight the Juke-R does not quite match the speed of the GT-R, but it does still qualify as the world's fastest crossover car.
The new concept has the same dimensions as the standard Nissan Juke apart from an increased width, which is up to 1910mm from 1765mm. It features 20 inch RAYS forged alloy wheels and flared wheel arches, but apart from that it resembles the standard JUKE very closely.
Inside the cabin it is fitted with OMP race seats, and features all of the controls and instrumentation from the GT-R. In the centre of the dashboard a 7 inch touchscreen display provides access to a wide array of information about the car.
