Nissan Super Juke Getting Godzilla Treatment

A Nissan Europe spokesperson has confirmed for us the existence of a one-off special Juke model, known internally as the “Super Juke.” The crossover reportedly packs the same 530-hp twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 and all-wheel drive system as Nissan’s halo car, the GT-R, although we’ll believe it when we see it. The Super Juke will rocket to 62 mph from a standstill in 4.0 seconds flat, and could have a top speed close to 170 mph, according to Auto Express. If true, that’s not a bad bump in acceleration from the 6.8-second zero-to-60 time we got when we tested the front-drive Juke SV.
Visually, this Juke on steroids gets the full super car treatment, receiving a lowered ride height, GT-R-like wheels, a split rear spoiler, and jet fighter-esque NACA ducts on the hood. Auto Express says the interior is gutted for weight reduction, but remains simple and functional. The Nissan spokesperson said no further details on the Super Juke are available at this time, but to expect more info sometime next week. With the few details we have now, we can’t clearly see the logic in actually producing a car like this – but we’ll be the last to complain if Nissan actually does it.

why would they do this to the ugliest car in the fleet?

That car reminds me of a hippo... Lol

My girlfriend loves the Juke, she said it will be her next car.

Those idiots. Why make a "Super Junk" when those components would be better utilized in a Versa hatchback and called "Pulsar GTi-R" aka "Baby Godzilla". :doh: Would be interesting for some tuner or individual to actually attempt this if Nissan doesn't - just not in the Juke. Would be even better if it were done to a Leaf. :jester:

did you ask who her new boyfriend will be? :p

She's stuck with me. :heh:

On the bright side, for a while she wanted a Toyota Yaris. I hate Nissan Juke, but at least it's better than the Yaris.

Juke is ugly, but Versa is even worse.

Don't under estimate the forethought and planning it took to execute a design with that magnitude of bland.:blink:

they should put that in the altima coupe if they still make it

if they get rid of the top lights, i think it could be a decently looking car.

i think...

what would the market be for this thing? Uber-rich teenie-bopper/soccer-moms with a need for speed? I just dont see a viable market (at least in this country) who would be interested in such an abbomination! :jester:

The Juke proved to be pretty popular. Over 120,000 were sold since it went on sale last year.

Super Juke = FIA Rally Car? :dunno:

Just a thought...

I really like the Juke's shape. I HATE the front end/light design/placement

That car, depending on its price, would sell to the people who want a GTR but cannot afford one. I've had my fair share of seat time in a GTR and believe me, I would buy that Juke if it were a fraction of the GTR's price. Of course, it would also matter how far Nissan would go with the de-tune...but that can always be fixed with a tuner and some simple(yet expensive) upgrades.

This is one of the best ideas I've ever heard of

I fixed it for ya

QFT!
