Time-Waster of the Day: Nissan Europe Launches New 3D Juke Site

The Juke has seen its fair share of publicity, mostly due to its unusual shape and the fact that it is Nissan’s first entry in the small crossover segment. The most recent stunt is the announcement on the development of the Juke-R with modified GT-R underpinnings.

Now Nissan has moved on to another fantasy realm: not the “what if” 530HP Juke prototype, but the virtual one. Its European division has launched Stage JUK3D, an online module that promises to give its users “an incredibly immersive experience of discovering and driving” the carmaker’s small crossover.

Nissan Juke-R: Insane Super Crossover with 530HP GT-R Powertrain! [Video]

No comments

If you thought that the Nissan Juke's design was pushing the envelope a wee bit too far, wait until you see what the Japanese carmaker's engineers are readying. Meet the Nissan Juke-R, one of the craziest ideas we have heard in a long, long while. And yes, the 'R' in the name is what you think it is: the heart and soul of the…Godzilla!

A team over at Nissan Europe came up with the bright idea of fitting the Juke small crossover with the engine and drivetrain of the latest GT-R. The street legal prototype is currently being developed by Nissan and built by motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan Technology Centre for Europe (NTC-E).

Officially Confirmed: Nissan Preparing Super Juke, Possibly with GT-R Powertrain, More Details Coming Next Week

No comments

Yes, you read correctly; Nissan is preparing a "Super Juke" rumored to feature a 480HP engine, which suggests it may very well be fitted with a detuned version of GT-R's 3.8-liter twin-turbocharging V6 powerplant that delivers 530HP in its current form.

The news was broken by the crew over at Jalopnik citing inside sources. However, just to make sure, we contacted Nissan Europe spokesperson Gabi Whitfield who officially confirmed the existence of the "Super Juke".

"I can confirm there is a project driven by Nissan Europe to create a 'Super Juke'," Nissan spokesperson Gabi Whitfield told Carscoop in an email. "I can’t confirm any other details at this time, but expect more information next week," she added.

No comments

For certain enthusiasts, Kuro can only mean one thing: Pioneer's now discontinued, but in the minds of many, still the best series of HD television sets to date. For Nissan's UK arm, Kuro is the name of a new special edition of its funky looking Juke small crossover.

Nissan says it borrowed the name from the Japanese word for black as the strictly limited edition provides a new, dark look to the British-built Juke.
