True, but I'd still buy one if I won a big enough Lotto!

I think it's funny how Nissan originally got pissed that the Juke-R and build videos were labeled as Nissan, but weren't actually from the car company. The Juke-R was created by someone else.

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

the Juke-R was technically "Nissan" it was from a special project unit within nissan europe... i know they are taking orders for these now but its not like these things are coming off the line a the togichi plant.. i think these will be one off made per order by the same team that made the prototype

here is what GTR creator Mizuno-San said about it

Quote:

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.

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.

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.

Nissan is on drugs again and I would never never never!! pay over $100K for a Nissan

I really fear Nissan is going to the birds

dmhenderson · 08-24-2012, 09:58 AM

GT-Rs run 115-120 after taxes and options. I think that's pretty reasonable.

Lots of custom fab work involved, plus aftermarket parts. Is that 590k in USD or GBP? If it's GBP that's insane!

NIssan said in the past that when it took on this project... of doing the Supercar/SUV cross over.... said its got all the glitz and gadgets of a GTR.... your mind wants to believe your in a GTR.... but your Body looking at the car says otherwise..kinda like a "juicy contradiction",.....Supercar technology, packed tightly (literally) into a much smaller package...not too many other companies have done it before...thus is ground for the high price i assume. that type of technology isnt cheap...plus the money to cut and grind down to make it fit correctly in the Juke...........i agree 590,000 is a bit far fetched.... i know i wouldnt. lol but thats just me

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.
