The Nissan Juke: We Talk About It

[MCNAGTROC]

Ive been on this drag racing kick the last few weeks trying to get some good #'s im happy with out of my GTR NISMO I accomplished all my goals I had set last week but still had to itch to go to the strip tonight. so decided to get some #'s for the Juke NISMO RS. Because..Why not???

It was pretty decent actually but there is a very specific way you have to run it to get the right times. I did a lot of testing letting it shift in itself in "D" to running it FWD only to paddle shifting myself and I came up with a method that was better than the rest. you have to brake boost the car to 2750 RPM where its RPM limited then let off the brake. you also need to put it in manual mode but dont use the paddles just let the computer shift as it will right before redline. this netted me some decent results. 0-60 was a best of 6.8 and I ran the 1/4 in 15.3@90.6. 1/8th mile was 9.8@73 best 60ft time was a 2.2 which isnt half bad for this car. if you just mash the gas and go its a dog off the line so you have to power brake in this car hands down. also just letting it shift in "D" is .5 of a second slower as I was running 10.4's

what does all these mean? well most magazines showed the CVT/AWD version being almost a second slower in some aspects than the FWD/Manual but Nissan said the acceleration for 2015 for the CVT was improved and from my #'s its right there with what the FWD version runs. DA was 2200 so I bet I could take another tenth or so off..but im not going to.

here are my datalogs slips and video





6.8 sec 0-60




9.87@73.8





15.3@90.6 1/4 mile

Yeah i brake boost everycar I drag with, with AWD Automatic cars its like launch control.

If this is true, game over for the Macan Turbo S and any other car maker trying to make a sporty CUV.

It's probably going to be another of those six-figure priced built-to-order cars like how it was done for the first Juke-R.

More than likely. I'd expect some special edition Jukes though in the next couple years to try and keep sales afloat until it's gone.

Here's a teaser of a non Nismo Juke-R

Will be shown at Goodwood.

Here's a teaser of a non Nismo Juke-R

Actually that's is the Juke-R Nismo.

 

[unit-one]

Actually that's is the Juke-R Nismo.

Oh? I thought that it's a different model as it doesn't have the red trim on the bumper and the number plate doesn't say Nismo. The news (link)also didn't mention anything about Nismo. They said that the car's name is Nissan Juke-R 2.0

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sounds sketchy. That image screams photoshop to me. Here is the Nismo:

Yep, I've seen that.
Looks like we'll find the truth on Goodwood Festival of Speed.

 

[Pseudopod]

it's not terrible but i really don't like the protruding headlights

Juke-R 2.0 concept

 

[GTboyz]

i don't know why but i don't like the back.

 

[05XR8]

It looks Beetle-like from the round lights down. I'd have that though.

 

[unit-one]

Ah, so it's not a NISMO Juke =)

 

[CodeRedR51]

This is why you can't trust the media anymore, no matter who they are.

Eh, I think the NISMO Juke will be shown later.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

yeah im a little disappointed it dropped the NISMO branding as the red accents and nismo wheels made more sense

 

[05XR8]

What is it then?
I like it.

NISSAN has upped the ante on its Juke R compact SUV for this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, upgrading its three-year-old Paris motor show crowd-pleaser with the engine and drivetrain from a Nissan GT-R Nismo to create the Juke R 2.0.

The GT-R Nismo – considered to be the quickest production car ever to come from Japan – donated its 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6, eight-speed transaxle-based transmission and its all-wheel drivetrain to the matte black Juke, replacing the ‘regular’ GT-R engine package of its first iteration.

Power increases from 404kW to 441kW, while torque jumps from 628 to 652Nm. The transplant means that the tiny Juke is good for a 0-100km/h sprint of less than three seconds, eclipsing some of the fastest supercars from Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Nissan Europe marketing communications general manager Gareth Dunsmore said the Juke R was a great way for the brand to highlight its performance-car credentials and its growing range of crossovers.

“The Juke-R has become an iconic crossover supercar, and with the launch of the latest Juke model last year, it was the natural choice to upgrade the original Juke-R with added power and even bolder styling,” he said.

“The Juke-R 2.0 is a perfect ‘crossover' of the best bits of Nissan - real innovation showcasing our crossover prowess fused with the excitement of the GT-R supercar engine.”

The Juke R 2.0 has also been fitted with new-style 20-inch rims all around, while its ride height has been lowered substantially. Carbon-fibre front and rear spoilers add much-needed stability and downforce, while the side sills, dash and other interior trim pieces are rendered in carbon-fibre.

The front bumper’s apertures have been increased by 100 per cent in area in order to provide cooling for the twin-turbo engine. The headlights, tail-lights, front fenders and bonnet, meanwhile, are sourced from an MY15 Juke.

An FIA-compliant roll-cage is fitted across the rear seats, while a pair of race car-spec buckets sit up front.

The first build in 2012 – two cars were built in five weeks – saw the Juke lose its original floor to accommodate the parts from a 2011-spec GT-R, while its firewall was moved rearwards by 100mm to accommodate the bigger engine. Aside from a shortened main driveshaft, the GT-R suspension and drivetrain components were unmodified during the transfer.

Twenty-one examples of the Juke R were built by British motorsport outfit RML, with the bulk of the cars sold to the Middle East. Each was priced at €500,000 (A$725,000). There is no word on whether the Juke R 2.0 will be offered for sale

I've always been a Juke supporter but that front is horrid.

I brightened it up a little.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Too many angles.

 

[YSSMAN]

Maxima looks on something fun and playful like the Juke?

Sign me up.




Looks like its got those wicked-cool A-pillars from the Volvo SCC from a long while back...

I absolutely hate that " U" Nissan has in grill. .

Nissan had something similar in Extrem concept from a few years ago.

 

[Legro]

The front looks somewhat longer than the Juke, and considering the low roof line, I don't think it's going to be anything more than a design concept of some sort of larger sporty crossover.

Of course there is a Nissan employee saying that it's the new Juke, so it's more than likely that I'm wrong.

 

[05XR8]

As a concept, it's fine. Brings it in line with future models.

It's mostly just a guess on my part (although there is such a thing in development) but most news sites are saying this might be the "Z Crossover" which I am really hoping all turns out to be some sort of hoax or large spreading of incorrect information.

It's worth remembering that proportions can change - the current Juke followed the Qazana concept. The production car definitely had similarities to the concept, but the concept's proportions were significantly exaggerated.
