Nissan will put its outrageous Juke-R 2.0 concept into production, says a report coming out of Italy.
Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the subcompact crossover powered by the 600hp heart of Mecha-Godzilla has been green-lit for production, says Omni Auto. Stretched over the shortened chassis and drivetrain of a Nissan GT-R NISMO, the hand-built Bullet Bills will see just examples hit the streets, though the final count will depend on how many actual customers are insane enough to order one.
The last Juke-R, version 1.0 released in 2012, rang in at a price of approximately 500,000 euros (US $550,000). Now, with drive components from the GT-R NISMO — which costs $50,000 above the sticker of a “regular” GT-R — hiding beneath its bullfrog skin, the 2.0 will likely surpass the $600,000 mark.
Produced exclusively by NISMO, each Juke-R 2.0 will take a donor GT-R NISMO drivetrain and pull a heavily modified Juke body and interior over it. Heavily flared fenders and a menacing aero kit are used to compensate for the 600hp and 481 lb-ft of torque that lies beneath. Like its predecessor, you can order it any color you want, as long as it’s matte black.
