yea and it was just a collection of "off the shelf" parts from nissan partners. it's not like they did something completely custom like the Juke-R. also, there's nothing else quite like the Juke-R out there. no one else has ever shoe-horned in an R35 powertrain into anything and to do it that way was amazing. nor done it to such a production-ready level. the only thing that really interested me about the project Z was the seats. beyond that, i've seen other people do better on this forum with similar (or better) mods.

I read somewhere that the Juke-R will be available on a made to order basis.

It's true. It's not really a production car. More of a custom product from a hot rod shop.

This publicity stunt was intended to advertise the Z and it's potential at minimal cost. It's a way to guage interest. I've seen better on this forum, but it's still a pretty cool car.

Nissan has announced that its insane Juke-R super-crossover will be built, but in a very limited run and on a build-to-order basis.

The production version will stay true to the original concept, complete with a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine sourced from a GT-R supercar, advanced all-wheel drive system and top speed of 160 mph.

One difference, however, is that the production Juke-R will use the more powerful 545-horsepower engine from the latest 2013 GT-R while the concept version used the previous 485-horsepower engine.

Nissan has already received three orders for the Juke-R, which is estimated to cost close to $600k. Two of those orders, the automaker has revealed, come from high-profile members of Dubai society.

The announcement of the Juke-R's production was made during the presentation of a cinematic online movie starring the souped-up crossover and Nissan’s inaugural GT Academy winner, Lucas Ordonez.

The Juke-R was built on behalf of Nissan by motorsports and engineering firm Ray Mallock Limited (RML) in the UK. Shoehorned into its chassis is the drivetrain of a Nissan GT-R, which as you may have guessed is no easy task considering the GT-R has a shorter but wider overall footprint than the Juke.

Some of the modifications include widened wheel arches, a full bodykit, a fixed rear roof wing, the GT-R’s 20-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, and a custom roll cage. The interior was also given an extensive makeover, receiving a 4WD controller, the GT-R's touch-screen interface with all of the PS3-like goodies, and the engine control system.

Speaking at today's announcement, Gareth Dunsmore, European marketing chief for the Juke, said: “The Juke-R was originally intended as a one-off concept to marry two of Nissan’s most innovative models. But the reaction we had to the car in Dubai was amazing--people were making offers for the original on the street.”

If you happen to have a spare $200k lying around and are interested in owning this very unique vehicle, you can send in your request to Juke-R@Nissan.co.uk. Deliveries are scheduled to start this summer.

Nissan Project 370Z was completed & the car was unveiled last May @ ZdayZ.....

Don't know why it took so long to release stage 3 Video which was already posted.

Below are some of the performance enhancements given as part of the Stage 1 build, IMO they could have done better with exhaust & suspension..

1. Greddy Twin Turbo kit
2. Greddy Ti-C catback exhaust
3. KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension
4. StopTech Big Brake kit

In any case output was improved from 332 hp to 500 hp !!!!! :yum:

But unfortunately it appear that it will never go into production... :shakes head:

Would any of you trade in your current "Z" or buy this Z if it went into production?

^^^No. Most people prefer less power. That's why my next car will be a BR-Z/FR-S :stirthepot:
