Nissan's GT-R powered Juke no joke

Two of the most striking cars in Nissan’s product portfolio are due to combine as a radical new concept car project, driven by the Japanese company’s European engineering team.

Nissan’s marquee supercar, the GT-R, and its remarkable new crossover, the Juke, are set to merge mechanicals to produce a Super Juke.

A single leaked concept sketch showcases the Juke with GT-R specification wheels, brakes and aerodynamic bits.

FIRST-GENERATION GT-R V6

Beyond the exterior modifications, Super Juke’s expect to be powered by the previous generation GT-R’s 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6, producing 358kW, instead of the latest 390kW GT-R engine.

Despite not employing the very latest Nissan GT-R powertrain technology, 358kW should be more the sufficient for a 4 sec 0-100km/h benchmark sprint time.

Nissan Europe is expected to release further technical details and a production rationale for the Super Duke during the first week of October, 2011.
