Nissan's Cool Juke-R

One of the coolest concept cars i have seen recently is definitely that Nissan Juke-R. This concept model is a combination of Nissan's small crossover and the powertrain of Nissan's sports car, the GT-R. This vehicle will be available in very limited numbers as it will be built on an order basis. 

Another cool thing is that the Juke-R that will be available to the public will actually be more powerful than the concept. The concept had the 2010 GT-R's engine which was a 485hp V6. But that impressive power for such a small crossover was not enough for Nissan as they will sell the Juke-R with the 2013 GT-R's engine which has 545hp. Certainly must be one of the funnest small crossovers you can drive. 

Nissan has already gotten 3 orders for the Juke-R and they will be taking more orders in the coming month. The pricing for the Juke-R has not been announced but one should expect a similar price point as the GT-R, maybe more, so one might expect a six figure number. High price for a small crossover but its certainly not an ordinary one.
