The Nissan Juke-R. Only 5 were made by Nissan. It has a 600HP engine from the Nissan GTR and costs £400,000

I don't think you're allowed to sell a car called the Jew Car.

It actually uses a GTR chassis, but with a modified Juke body to fit on it

If i had enough money to justify buying such a thing, it would be near the top of my list of dumb things to buy. I very much enjoy silly feats of engineering.

2/5 of them were bought by one guy in the UAE. Another one was bought by someone in Germany. The other 2 were purchased by other people who were rich enough to spend £400K on a Juke.

Applewood Performance Centre in Langley, BC claims to have one of them.

There is one at the Nürburgring in the laptime museum

IIRC, #5 was sold half assembled, basically as a parts kit.

Iirc it was a sheikh if some Arab country, and he was the one who actually asked Nissan to make them.

eyeb4lls@reddit

I believe they shortened the chassis as well

Here it is in the states. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19yrFb1LN9/

Could you imagine spending £400,000 on a Nissan Juke?

[-]

Camarupim@reddit

You do wonder who they built this for. “Marketing has identified 16 Nissan collector obsessives with bottomless pockets…”

[-]

B_Roland@reddit

If I remember correctly, they built a concept car just for fun/PR purposes, and it created quite a buzz, making some people with deep pockets push them to build them. And eventually, they did.

Love this. Wish more brands were making these unique franken-models to keep enthusiasts excited. Sadly only the uber-rich can own these cars, but we win just by knowing it exists lol

[-]

lambusad0@reddit

sorry for necro.

check the new Renault 5 Turbo 3e. idk why they made it 540 hp

[-]

True, however I think the Nismo version of the Juke, that was a lot more affordable and some people in this thread have talked about owning, may have followed from this concept car / these 5 cars and the buzz around them. So the 'normal' people also got something from it. Pretty cool.

[-]

shart-gallery@reddit

I didn't know about the Nismo Juke. That's awesome!

[-]

scottishblakk@reddit

It was on Top Gear and they showcased it as a proper GTR. Keep in mind those days a standard GTR was a supercar killer, and its tech was insane (still is). It was an easy sell for sure.

[-]

B_Roland@reddit

The GTR for sure. This not so much I'd imagine. It is essentially the same car at 3 times the price. But it's unique, so selling a couple was probably easy.

Troikus@reddit

This is the only way you’d get me to buy a Juke and even then I can’t guarantee it.

[-]

lord_satellite@reddit

I drove a Juke for a while and it's A LOT of fun. Small, nimble, great in traffic. And, for some reason, its existence pissed off the oversized truck class, who would repeatedly cut me off or try and race me.

I liked the looks, though. Like a mutant Mini Cooper.

[-]

Bamres@reddit

I never thought it was specifically very ugly. I think it's weird but way more unique than any other small crossover

[-]

Aislin2476@reddit

I think Jukes are quirky looking in the way old VW Beetles are. I love mine.

[-]

edgemaster191@reddit

I leased a 2014 Juke and I loved it! It was white and looked like a stormtrooper helmet.

Tons of fun and decent in the snow. Shame the engines are so hard to get parts for and the transmissions are so fragile, I may have kept it if they were more reliable.

[-]

ButtholeQuiver@reddit

I've never driven one but I always liked how it looked too, but I have a bias for weird-looking cars

[-]

StereoTypo@reddit

I always liked the quirky little T-Rex-head-looking Juke.

[-]

3amGreenCoffee@reddit

Despite how ungodly ugly it is, it's truly a great car for daily driving. It has a tight turning radius, is extremely maneuverable and has great AWD road manners. It feels a lot more sporty than its size and cargo capacity deserves.

I absolutely hated them until I got assigned one as a rental. By the end of that week, I was seriously considering buying one.
