Thread: Nismo edition juke?

So I was surfing web looking for updates on the juke-r and came across this info. What do you guys think? Not as bad ass as the juke-r obviously, but this is more practical.

2011 Nissan Juke Nismo Concept

Earlier this year, the Tokyo Motor Show was taken for dead because of the massive earthquake that cause Japanese automakers a lot of headache. But they are bouncing back and filling in the gaps left by the European and

American manufacturers with concepts and exciting new vehicles.

Besides the Juke-R, which we can only consider to be a ‘what if’ sort of car, combining a small crossover body with a massive twin-turbo V6 from a GT-R, Nissant has something else that is closer to actually being available for you and me.

This exiting new concept is a Nismo version the Juke. The in-house tuner has spruced up the 1.6-liter turbo in the top of the range version of the compact crossover. They didn’t actually say how much power it makes, but since it normally offers 190 hp, we expect somewhere in the region of 210 hp.

Nismo is known for making hard-riding version of Nissan sportier cars and this is no exception to the rule. Te Juke concept sits on 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels with wider tires. It’s also supposed to be lower and stiffer than the regular car.

Don’t judge them for making a crossover that’s useless off-road now, because the Juke was always more of a lifestyle vehicle than anything else, and now it has extra appeal, thanks to those side skirts, spoiler, fresh bumper and that pin striping.

Let’s just hope there’s a regular stick shifter inside that spruced up interior!

autoevolution will be attending the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.

that's pretty baller.

Yea, it's pretty sweet IMO.

but is it fast?

I knew this car had potential, nice!

They guestimate 210hp in the article, since it comes with 190 from factory.

id rock it.... it looks nice i love the subtle nismo touches on there... that front lip/side skirt combo is mean as hell too

look really nice but i rather see real car n picture too.. lol..

He said it could possibly have 210hp, so it should be pretty quick. But I don't think that would make it fast lol

Yea I'd love to see it in person too, but this concept Looks really good

Tokyo Motor Show: Nissan is going to get racy

It's a step in the right direction, however Nissan has been hush about a few cars...the Sentra's due for a makeover, so is the Skyline(G37), Altima, and the Versa hatchback(& prolly a few more I can't think of now) I've seen spy photos of the new Altima but I wonder what they have in store for the others???

Idk.... nissan likes to drop cars from their line up then wait ten years!!!!
sometimes I wonder if it will happen to the the mighty datsun 210 incarnation yet again...
the versa and smaller cars arent leaving, will their be a area for our beloved platform??

I hope they release a small, lightweight, RWD platform...the S16 ...doesn't look like it will happen, though

most everything looks better lowered..

I think it was lowered a little in the above sketch, but yea that picture definitely makes it look bad ass!

Confirmed for the 2013 model year!

Hope its AWD so I can get my shit lowered.
