$590,000 for this JokeR, I mean Juke-R. And that price, as announced by American Nissan Vice President, David P. Reuter, has yet to include the local taxes! Looks like this built-to-order monster SUV could now be anyone’s, given that you have too much cash lying around.<b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b>
“We will make Juke-R available to customers anywhere in the world on a build-to-order basis. It is intended for serious collectors and investors who want to own a true original, an innovative project that will only be created in extremely small numbers”, the VP added.
Now, what do you get by paying that much amount for an SUV? The specifications are fairly similar to a Nissan GT-R, so let us take a look on some of the Juke-R's specifications, referring to the concept version that houses the components of a 2010 GT-R.
Engine – 3.8l VR38DETT twin-turbo V6
Power – 480 horsepower
Torque – 588 Nm
0-100 in 3.7 seconds, top speed 257km/h
Direct-Shift Gearbox Transmission, All-Wheel Drive
20” Rays Forged alloy rims
7” customizable LCD and dashboard lifted from the GT-R
2 OMP Racing seats
FIA compliant roll cage
Even with all that stuffed in a Juke, is $590,000 worth it? Converting it to Malaysian Ringgit, you will have to rake out at least RM 1.8 million to start dreaming about this. And remember, that has yet to include our taxes yet, which might pull the price high up to an unimaginable level.
