Now that the Juke-R has gained popularity, Nissan is backing them up now lol.

Like MC said, it was the Nissan Europe arm that did this so still Nissan. Japan just didn't know about it until late into the project.

AutoExpress-What do you think of the Juke R? Were you involved in the project?

Mizuno-No no, I was never contacted about this. The project is nothing to do with the GT-R, it’s a Nissan Europe project. In fact the team that works on the GT-R and the Juke team don’t know each other at all.

AE-So were you angry when you heard about it?

Mizuno-A little bit because I’m proud of the GT-R team, they are all well trained and work hard and honestly. It’s a pure and precious project, not one that needs to be publicised by putting the engine in another model.

I find it funny that he is upset over this, even a little bit. I would have been exstatic if I were in his position. To have another branch of the company take my work and adapt it to work in another form would be a prtty big compliment imo.

Also, I think the Juke-R was more about promoting the Juke, not the GTR.

What a waste of time. Next, they should make a GTR minivan to appeal to the super rich soccer mom demographic.

juke r is ridiculous. thats what i really want, a $500,000 car disguised as a juke. so when someone comes up and goes, "nice juke." i have to say "OMFG THIS IS A JUKE R I PAID HALF A MILLION FOR THIS. AHHHHH!!"

then they are all

then are like "... what you're serious...

"

then u go, "ya but look at all these sweet youtube vids of it beating up on supercars!"

ghey

if i have to justify spending half a million bucks, then thats ridiclous

I think the price is resonable if you consider this is not a production car. This was a one-off project and I am sure this car will appreciate in value years down the line. This car is capable of out handling 500 k sports cars so performance wise, its right on the ball park but you have the added bonus of EXCLUSIVITY!!! Exclusivity is everything! Lamborghini created a one-off Aventador prototype which sold for over 2.75MM MUCH MUCH highter than the sticker price on the production model... however, you have EXCLUSIVITY which guarantees there will be no other car like yours. So yes, i think the price is resonable perhaps a bargain if you really think about it. LOL

Why are you guys getting your panties in a bunch over this? It's a badass car no matter the price tag. If you can afford this car, you don't have to justify anything. Period! That's like asking why someone buys a a million dollar watch...it's pointless & absurd, but intriguing.

TypeOne · 08-24-2012, 02:04 PM

GTR still over either of them... I'll laugh all the way to the bank.

No, it really isn't. That's why people are "up in arms", they are charging 500k for something that isn't nearly bad *** enough.

I would love to see a 370Z -R

lemon-fresh · 08-24-2012, 02:54 PM

What a novel idea. Who would have thought, certainly not nissan.

The people who can afford to buy this don't typically worry about "justifying" anything they buy to anybody.

Off topic in reagrds to current direction of this thread, but I liked the flashing tail lights on the GT2. Cool view for the person you are whooping up on.

I have had the opportunity to fully inspect a GT-R black edition. Maybe the bodystyle itself looks 80k vs 106k. But once being inside the car, looking under the hood. Hearing it turn on and watch stock GT-R's killing everything under the sun @ qquarter mile track day... you start to see where its a bargain. The GT-R is very fairly priced. Lack of exposure to the car will make you think differently.

The. Juke-R is an amazing vehicle for all the reasons you mentiioned. If I were rich? I'd definately bid on one. Now that's an EXCLUSIVE Nissan. Lol. Pun intended. Honestly, I didn't expect the juke to beat the GT-2. But i will put my money on it against a Cayenne turbo S. Realistically speaking $590,000 is ridiculous for a juke R. But who "woulda thunk it" factor sells cars like this. Rich man toys for sure. I hope they don't try to azz-rape when the Nismo-juke hits the dealers?

I would luv to see someone sort out the AWD vs RWD issues and cram a GTR motor in a Z. That would be incredible.
