Nismo has arrived in Europe with the launch of the first in a new range of road cars: the Juke Nismo. With track-derived design, enhanced performance and engaging handling, Nismo’s unique motorsport DNA adds a new dimension to the pioneering compact crossover’s list of attributes. Power comes from a modified version of Nissan’s acclaimed 1.6-litre direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine. You only need to look to the success of the pioneering Nissan DeltaWing to see the potential of this advanced and efficient engine... Add a bespoke aerodynamics package and revised chassis design and you have a driving experience which takes Juke thrills to the next level. Two models – front-wheel-drive with a six-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel drive with CVT and 7-speed manual mode – are available, with every Juke Nismo benefitting from a motorsport-inspired interior packed with innovative technology. Later, a slightly revised Juke Nismo RS was introduced, bumping up the power a bit and getting new visual elements both inside and out.
