Because the first Juke-R was done without any knowledge from Nissan Japan, even the creator of the R35/GT-R has stated he hates the Juke-R and wishes Nissan would have stopped it.
This was done by Nissan Europe & a third party because they could.

I want to replace the u in the name with an o. I am going to do that to a few at the dealer if I can find some o's.

Soooooo can someone please do a Nismo Z with a GTR engine and not tell Nissan so that way Nissan can build it?

Keep it with a true manual please. :tup:

Shud'a named it the Joke!

GT-R's are just sooooo common! One sees them on the street all the time. Every trailer-trash common hillbiilly millionaire has one. I want something with some exclusivity! Enter....Juke-R.



Let me know if this argument starts to sound familiar. :D

How can you call yourself a car guy and not like something this crazy. Nothing about this car makes sense, which is why it's awesome. It's too expensive...has no practical application...not as fast as a GT-R...looks wierd...and people will think you're crazy for buying one. This is one of those things that doesn't need explaining.

I agree... although if I had $600K to spend on a car, a Juke would not be on my list.

It needs to be raised and knobby off-road tires added! - Maybe a machine gun mount on top as well.

The only reason I like it is because it's fast. Everything else about it seems rather pointless. A fast juke is still a juke. I'd have to be a multi billionaire to even consider it, my wife could drive the kids to soccer practice in it.

Brutal waste of time.

If you can "afford" to spend $600k on something like this, chances are, you already have a garage full of exotic rides at your disposal. This is basically a car for the guy that can afford to buy a Veyron with the change in his pocket, not for us mere mortals.

I like it.

Yeah, I still wouldn't want one.

"Here's my tour of the garage...

...Here's my Veyron Super Sport, over there is my Enzo, F50, and F40, in that corner is my McLaren F1, Porsche 911 GT1, 959, and Ruf RT-12, and finally my Maserati MC-12."

What's that little SUV over there?

"Oh that's a $600,000 Nissan Juke. The pool boy drives that."

Would've love to have seen a "370Z-R". Would've been epic. AWD, drop the 09-11 GTR engine 3.8 V6TT 485HP (so it doesn't compete with 2013 GTR 545HP), Dual clutch or manual tranny, market it at 60-65k, and call it the the M3, C63, Audi RS5, Porsche Carrera S killer.
