Nissan Juke-R Shakedown first drive- evo exclusive

[Solarenemy1]

I said base in my earlier post but that was not meant to be there. As the base model is really not all that and is missing the AWD.

[Solarenemy1]

So much hate yet no one is willing to put their comparable speced car up against even the base model becuase they not they will get their shit wiped with it and then fed back to them. The Juke is a sleeper plain and simple.

[lazyboi368]

@Solarenemy1 ...are you kidding me? the base model Juke goes 0-60 in 7.3 seconds....my stock honda civic '08 does 0-60 faster than that, and its a damn economy car. The Juke is a turtle and the only reason it is fast in this video is because they bumped everything up to racing spec. They even took out the backseats and added a rollcage

[Solarenemy1]

@lazyboi368 I was not talking about a base model. I was talking about an SL with AWD. It will take any American 6 and under of the line up to 60 MPH. Simply becuase all four wheels are pushing. rather than just two. Then it looses ground as it's top end is not all that. Unless you have driven one or challenged one don't make comparisons or statements. I own the model I described and take all sorts of cars off the line up to 60mph.

[lazyboi368]

@Solarenemy1 Really dude? you race your nissan juke? not bashing on your car, sure it can probably beat most other stock cars in its class, but if you turbocharged any of those "6 and under" cars you mentioned they would beat you by a longshot. btw, the Juke already is turbocharged, which is why it has ANY acceleration at all. Sure you could do mods on the Juke (if you could find anyone who makes them) but compared to any other car with the exact same spec mods and it wouldn't even be a contest

[lolz90ify1]

Its a JOKE

[jeet2318]

piece of shit, looks like as if a frog is just about to jump. even if this is a last car in world, i won't buy it. y nissan make this design, nissan is a good company, wat happened to them. i m worried if they continue making such models in future too.

[FragTheFragger]

That is one ugly ass car.



[Tavarahissi]

Look exactly like the GT-R .

[mjbrown3232]

@Tavarahissi What GT-R are you looking at?

[banddude121]

@Tavarahissi You must have been looking at crashed GT-R

[sam232961]

bag of crap :)

[sam232961]

bag of poo

[sam232961]

bag of shit

[Lukeyy19]

It's no wonder the car industry has no money, they spend it making awesome stuff like this, and then put crappy hybrid things into production instead.

[NittoMOD]

They fit a Juke body over a GTR frame. :D

[SkanePag]

looks like a fucking toad!

[Xetenor]

Love the style of this little badass car :) The original one looks like horseshit. 

[heimihenderson]

Quite the dullest drive review I've ever seen.

[aznstud4life]

get a real driver

[stopzilla911]

i dont like it, the interior is too much like the GTR

[Buttnut105]

It's Japan's answer to the Grand Cherokee SRT8. I'll have neither and get a proper car instead.

[jekyllnhydebaby]

still fugly

[gardenmaker84105]

waintg for top gear

[AdewaleAKA]

Dear Santa,...

[clebervic]

Batgirls car.

[roggi111]

when doing a car review don't wear a crash helmet!

[AhilMohan]

fuck steve sutcliffe

[lasalleoaks]

Versa gtr

[blahblop123]

nissan... make an silvia s15-R... timeless looks with timeless performance..

[walperstyle]

@blahblop123 Tein did.

[madcreator12]

It's just... grotesque. Fuck ugly and completely tasteless.

[peanuts2105]

This easily the worlds ugliest car

[EVILSPAWN1000]

A Juke with a GTR engine?They never said... Taking the ugliest car in the world and makeing it ugly AND even MORE useless.Want a GTR?BUY a GTR.Not this bastard.I don`t get the whole super-SUV concept.cayenne Turbo S.2.5 tons of 4x4 and 550 bhp.... Why not a 911 turbo for FAST driving and a normal 4x4 for what ever..... The BMW X6???? OMG.... The car industry is drunk

[XakaB]

@EVILSPAWN1000 It's just a concept from what it's been said over the weeks is that it wont get into production!!! It's just a freaking CONCEPT chill down man!!!!! It was just a laugh from Nissan UK so get your facts straight.. and what is wrong on getting a very powerful SUV some people don't want a super fast impractical sports car that everybody knows they want a big and fast mammoth to show-off...

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@XakaB THIS is a 1off."whats wrong with a very powerful SUV?" I`ll tell u what.Bcoz it`s a flawed concept from the start.Why a car capable of 200 mph if it can`t stay on the road and drives like a dog.Want a powerful SUV?VW Touareg V10 tdi.Because it got TORQUE.The very IDEA behind a SUV is that it should have off road capabilitys.The Merc M class has those capabilitys.The M63 AMG does not bcoz it runs on 22 or 24" wheels with 285 40 Pirelli p zero tyres.Ah,whats the point...

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@XakaB And BTW:"Not everybody wants a superfast impractical sports car that everybody knows they want a big and fast mammoth to show-off..." What does that even mean? As if a Cayenne,BMW X5M or Merc M 63 AMG ISN`T a "showoff"? It is the very DEFINITION of idiot-mobile.U can have a BMW M5,Merc E 63 AMG or Audi RS 6 wich actually drives like a sportscar and doesn`t stick out like a sore thumb in traffic....

[DemonT88]

time flowing is the cause of the legalization of badass cars like this piece of crap.

[urwetdreamz]

Anybody knows the name of the song, starting around 0:35?

[bmwe92m]

Kudos to Nissan for the effort. U don't expect those kind of things from a relatively boring car maker.

Now put this Motherfucker into production!

Please

[joako2706]

What a fantastic bit of kit and of course it comes courtesy of EVO.

[skypysek]

absolutely boring

[kouznetsov]

sux that the weather is shit for the test

[TimZ750]

Has Chris left presumed they are all freelance and can work for lots of mags/websites?

[carranza828]

Now that's a sleeper! I'll take this over a gtr anyday!

[UBERC4R]

Why is everyone hating on Dickie Meaden video skills? Then man took a Skoda to 217mph and drove an Audi R18. The man clearly has massive testicles.

[IJunglist2010]

@Blakeoffire The Ford supervans and Espace F1 were not sanctioned by manufacturers. They were private projects by civilians whom later got promotional work for Ford and Renault.

[HumperMKB]

Ok, congress!! They have created a STI out of a GTR, LOL

[HollywoodUndeadzz]

One question: How Much???????????

[imgonnafuckuup1]

better than the GTR :D :D

[jorgequinterom]

@imgonnafuckuup1 are you fucking kidding me?

[imgonnafuckuup1]

@jorgequinterom no man I heard it goes round the nürburgring in under 3 minutes (insider information)

[Blakeoffire]

As a build, it's impressive, yet the final outcome is hardly intriguing nor exciting - I simply don't care about this thing... rather boring and ugly too. Superfast SUV..? Don't we already have a handful of them on sale to the buying public..?? Plus, this is just another chapter (albeit, a more detailed one) in the placement of a powerful drivetrain in a Van/SUV shell. Remember the Renault F1 Espace? All the Ford Supervans? many more as well.. Just pointless Marketing-fluff for the brand/masses.

[jeankaki]

Chris Harris is no lonher in EVO, his replacement is Tiff Neddel

[seanpburke]

Chris Harris no longer works for EVO........

[MuhsinTheMomin]

Stupid to design this . Markets are in decline...especially suv.

[bugster247]

Some man love in these comments. Quite touching

[FIRSTWINNER]

nissan killing the gtr brand

[redclown1]

I heard the guy who developed the new GT-R didn't approve of this decision by Nissan to make a Juke R.

[mikeb1444]

The camber that it had in that corner was an example of what's been done to it. They should hand it over to Fifth Gear and Top Gear. I'd like to see what good old Tiff has to say.

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

They made a shitty car into a badass one.

[JustinsSoapbox]

@ILikeReallyBigButts It's still shitty.  It's just fast now. :/

[rawcre8tive]

Amazing but WHY a Joke… I mean Juke? Nissan missed a trick, If they stuck that GT-R lump and running gear in a Qashqai, you'd see how fast most dads are down their local Nissan dealer ready for a trade-in lol

[camryt]

No matter how powerful it is, I will always think that it should be called Joke instead Juke.

[fussballkingpro]

People from evo let Chris do the reviews and shakedowns. Basically I mean everything. CHRIS!

[shaggyusm26]

@fussballkingpro I have to agree. It is simply more enjoyable watching Chris.

[illocon]

@fussballkingpro Harris has left/is leaving evo to go and work full time on pistonheads

[billionnaire1]

@fussballkingpro Chris has left Evo and is now working for Piston Heads

[DefenderTDBlack]

@fussballkingpro Dude, he left evo this month..... I know I' m pissed too, but if anyone want's to see Mr. Harris an youtube, he and a few others have strarted a new youtube channel called 'Drive' where Chris will be a main feature.... I can't wait!!

[BestCarSound]

@fussballkingpro Oh, c'mon be real! I'm mean Chris not the only man there, but yes, I like Chris as well!

[dagnut]

@fussballkingpro Might be a bit difficult seeing that he has left...

[Svensson81]

@fussballkingpro

You probably didn't get the memo, but Chris doesn't work for EVO anymore. He's now at PistonHeads and Drive.

[TheFreakyGames]

@fussballkingpro yeah, chris is gone now :/

[mackayd]

@fussballkingpro Chris Harris? Isn't he doing videos for Drive now not Evo?

[StreetKingEvolution]

It looks like a fast puppy hahah, nice !

[FlameThrash900]

i prefer nissan gtr v35 thanks

[scrustle]

I don't like that thing. It may be a great piece of engineering but to me it just looks like nothing more than a marketing exercise. They're trying to make it appeal to young people by making it cool and fast. It comes across as so contrived. It doesn't change the fact the standard car is ugly and pointless.

[rawcre8tive]

@scrustle 100% agree with you on this!

[idiotatwack]

Wicked Sick Car!

[alexglenny]

JEW CAR

[productfeedback]

The front looks so bad... inside excellent.

[mobeen1982]
