Juke-R vs GTR

Zoren 370

Have you seen this Juke-R? Nissan will sell to select people for about close to $200,000. Jay Leno might have one! Haha

Joke-R, what a waste of Nissan's time. Should've probably done a 370z "R" version. That would actually be an insane car.

Insane indeed!

it wasn't really just Nissan... and it wasn't a waste of time.. anything that advanced auto engineering to the next level is AWESOME...


just sayin

Did the Juke-R really advance auto engineering, I think not.

in ways yes...
they now know they can fit a GTR motor into a smaller shell... winning!

in my opinion you are just mad you can't afford one... why else would you be so butthurt over something that has NO effect on you what so ever?

Cool it guys this is meant for fun and informative.
Anyways yes I must agree that a lot of engineering work has been done to have this project completed, Imagine to make the car balanced, power to weight ratio, aerodynamics etc...to be able to perform at par with the 2012 GT-R
Besides the whole concept of the project is to show that with the advancement of Technology/engineering all possibilities are limitless!

Again a 370Z R concept would be a nice car to see done.

The one car that will sell worse than the Murano Droptop, lol. Nissan's got balls. seriously how would you feel after you get smoked by a Juke at a stoplight?

BLUESLATE

What's the point of putting GTR drive train in a Z? That would defeat the purpose of GTR's own existence... no?

Either way, I think Juke-R is a pretty damn cool car.

On the other hand... I'd like to see it being done on a G37 sedan... 4 door GTR sedan! lol

Wouldn't it most likely be around the same weight class then as the GTR? "That would defeat the purpose of GTR's own existence... no?"

To me, the whole awesomeness of the Juke R lies in the mating of a cheap but unique looking car to the powerful, performance drivetrain of the GT-R. Of course there are platforms that would take the transfer much better and look more natural, but they wouldn't be as unique. And I wouldn't call it a waste either, since they apparently engineered it to be pretty awesome to drive. There are even orders on it from some rich Middle Easterns.

The 370z falls out of the category since they'll have to slap AWD. Juke comes AWD factory thus making it a better candidate for the modification.

Good point! In any rate this project car will not be available for mass production only for select few...$200,000 Price tag for the Juke-R. You must be a Sultan or a king in lala land to buy one.
But yes rich oil magnates are actually ordering the Juke-R

shadoquad

Um, I thought it was a 650,000 dollar price tag.
