Following the development of the GTR-engined Juke - and whatever you think of that, you have to accept that some real petrol-heads must have been behind it - Nissan are now advertising a Juke Nismo Concept.
I haven't found any further details of engine, gearbox or even if it's 2wd or 4wd but a hot version of the diminuative soft-roader could be a real hoot if and when it's put into production! Let's hope for the V6 from the 370Z and rearward biased handling...
I'm not even sure whether I would like it myself but cars like this only serve to make car buying a more diverse and fun experience and goes some way to explaining why Nissan and JLR are expanding whilst Vauxhall are thinking of closing Ellesmere Port.

There is a thread on General Gassing with a photo taken at a Nissan factory today of a two door Juke GTR!!!
Fabulous.
Link? My ear's fairly close to the ground and I've not heard of a 2 door Juke R/NISMO, even the R is still a fully functioning 5 door car!Fabulous.
ETA, just seen it that's the JukeR with 5 doors still.

Looks quite good, bad news if you were expecting a V6, it sticks with the 1.6 albeit tweaked.
