New Nissan JUKE-R vs Supercars Dubai STREET CHALLENGE 2012

Nissan has released official footage of a demonstration race in which the Juke-R - the world's fastest crossover - took on and beat three supercars around a specially-constructed circuit at the glamorous Dubai International Marine Club.

The muscular, 485bhp Juke-R made its global debut as the official pace car for the Dubai 24 Hours on January 13and then stayed in Dubai to take on the supercar establishment in their own urban back yard.

At the wheel of the triumphant Juke-R for the demo race was Lucas Ordonez - winner of the inaugural Nissan GT Academy in 2008 and podium finisher in last year's Le Mans 24 Hours.

Taking on the Juke-R around the 0.58km course, which featured the dramatic Dubai skyline on one side and a Monaco-style selection of yachts on the other, were a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Mercedes SLS AMG and a Ferrari 458 Italia.

well, in my opinion..

i think the driver behind the supercar is stupid an amateur!

this is totally just a video of juke promotion.

i wanna see nissan juke time laps in the race track at Top Gear BBC and see what happen next...

[ALuckyDonkey]

the track is really short, something the juke r would rape against the rest. not that the others are holding back, which who knows maybe they are, doubtful though.

rigged race.

[lambolukas]

That's impossible A porche, Lamborghini and Ferrari can Easley beat a Nissan juke

Apparently if you have a spare £400,000 any Nissan dealer will order you a Juke-R.

Nah, its not fake. Its just the track is short meaning any car that gets first right off the line will usually stay first unless you get a long straight track in between where the supercars can catch up.

El piloto que conduce el juke-R es Lucas Ordoñez

i think so

[IX19UT8O]

BTW the JukeR's awful handling is because of its short and high frame. It's either the drivers, a staged race for a Nissan promotional video as you put it, or both.
