There was more good news for fans of oddly-shaped, monstrously-engined crossover SUVs today, as Nissan unveiled official images and some sound of its oddly-shaped, monstrously-engined Juke-R.
And by the sounds of it, somebody has said mean things to it. Because it sounds kind of angry.
Gallery: official pics of the Nissan Juke-R
You can hear for yourself below, but before your synapses get sponged by the majesty of internal combustion, some stats. The Nissan Juke-R is a one-off (they're building two, technically), powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo engine pinched from the Nissan GT-R. That's 480bhp, and many, many torques.
It's also stolen the GT-R's four-wheel-drive and suspension, and Nissan has kindly flared the arches, fitted not inconsiderable air ducting and venting capacity, twin exhausts, some GT-R-spec dials and two race seats.
We know that most of you like it, because you told us so repeatedly last time we reported on this piece of Japanese crossover insanity. So now listen to it.
(You'll have to sit through some music from the 'dub-steppery' genre, or something, so if you really can't wait, skip to around 52s)

What a BONKERS car! Insanely powerful but absolutely useless ;) It's a shame Nissan is only making one though...

holy poop, that sounds amazing, but why does it have to be so ugly, this is a car I would gladly sit in and drive but would close my eyes every time I get out as not to spoil the fun I just had driving it

I wonder how much it would cost to build one of these in my garage...only with one of the AMS kits and lots of carbon fibery bits...

This car sounds awesome. Looks insane, can't exactly say bad though. has the DNA of a legend and the recipe to destroy tires probably in a straight line. I love it!!
