Is this actually being done by Nissan? Looks like a 3rd party tuner/fabricator with Nissans nod?

Having only seen the last/engine film, the project is being done by RML, who also did the Nissan Micra 350SR - see below

I kept on asking for a go in the Micra, but they weren't keen!

RML with the backing of Nissan Europe as I understand it.

ETA, RML also used to build the Primera BTCC cars so there is a fairly good relationship with them I believe.

Oh Leaf it out! I'll take Note of your Juke for next time though.

Navara mind.

lololol

Got to admire them for doing this. At least the Juke looks different and, let's face it the Impreza and Lancer were rarely great lookers, especially in bog standard cooking spec. Reminds me of Jay Leno's 1989 Ford Shogun with 250hp in the rear. Ugly as sin but what a cracking thumbed nose at the establishment of fast cars. And to us guys in the UK that will always be a Kia Pride (or Mazda 1212 I suppose) complete with white walled tyres, oh yes it will.

They did do a 'special' Micra a few years back.

They're all special. You have to be special to drive one

I passed my driving test in a 2005(ish) micra.

think once people see it in the flesh it wont sound as bad - remember what happened to the AUSTIN metro - ending up as a fire breathing 6R4 that nearly everyone wanted and i even saw a couple of metro's with body kits on trying to look like its idol..

it happens wouldnt the world be tedious if no one done anything other than a standard shopper box car like most people drive ei BMW, Audi, etc.. wheres the difference? a grill? boring cars that dont break any moulds

You cant polish a turd but you can make it move a bit faster!

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Can someone kill that fking camera (wo)man!

Pointless panning closeups, pointless zooms, pointless out of focus shots, virtually no bloody decent shots at all.

Watched a minute of #8, 30 seconds of another. Can't watch any more.

Should get to see it in the flesh soon, be interesting to have a poke and see it up close!

The one-off concept / publicity stunt? Um.... probably not.

Or are you under the misapprehension that this is a production car?

[pickledsmurf]

It's alive... and judging by the direction it travelled from, I'd have to guess that Nissan are putting it through its paces!

Nissan Joke should have been called. At least it would be funny...

I think that name was coined in about 2009. Please keep up at the back, at least you'd have half a chance of being funny then.
