This is the Nissan Juke Nismo concept, set to be unveiled at this week's Tokyo motor show. It is, says Nissan, part of a "bold new future" for its Nismo performance arm (we'll leave it up to you as to whether or not that's a good thing).
With visual and aero tweaks including revised bumpers, arch extensions and side skirts the Juke Nismo Concept certainly looks, er, tough. In fact, the styling mods even include a revised tailgate spoiler with side elements to control airflow more efficiently and lift-reducing door mirrors. It says here.
NISMO styling 'upgrades' now available
It's not just a cosmetic package either. The chassis has been lowered and stiffened, while the 1.6-litre turbo petrol has been 'uprated to deliver more power and performance' though precisely what that entails Nissan ain't saying.
Inside, the steering wheel, pedals, gauges, shifter knob and door trims have been redesigned to provide 'greater involvement when driving'. No, nor us.
"As the Concept shows, Nismo brings new levels of individuality to mainstream Nissan cars like Juke," says Nismo President, Shoichi Miyatani. "The future for Nismo is to develop premium sports designs for an ever-widening range of customers."
Jolly good. But can we see the finished Super Juke now, please?
