The images could herald the look of what will be among the world’s most expensive 4WDs. If they’re the real deal, the drawings leaked on the internet show the production version has kept the Juke-R concept’s mini-muscle looks, pumped-out wheel arches – and unique split rear spoiler wings.
The street-legal concept car was a cross-pollination of aspects from Nissan’s mini-crossover Juke and its hero supercar, the ‘Godzilla’ GT-R – and received resounding applause and some waving of fat chequebooks when it appeared last year.
Developed by Nissan but built by motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan’s European Technology Centre, the Juke-R has raided the GT-R’s parts bin for the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a modified version of its 4WD system – with 20-in wheels at each corner.
The cabin of the production car is likely to follow closely that of the concept, which gets features from both donor cars, with the Juke’s motorcycle-tank inspired centre console sitting among the arsenal of gauges, dials and 7-in customisable LCD information display from the GT-R.
The twin race-seats are also a good bet to stay, but we’ll have to wait and see if that also applies to the concept’s five-point race harnesses and visible roll cage. The production run of the Juke-R is tipped to be only on a pre-order basis, with pricing mooted at around $500,000 - or beyond.
