Last week, we brought you plenty of videos of the Porsche 918 prototype that was shown at the Gran Turismo Evo track day event, which took place on the Nordschleife. But it seems this was not the only performance monster unattainable by regular mortals which was shown there.
This is another Nissan Juke powered by a GT-R 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6. But it wasn’t the same Juke-R which will be put into limited production for about €500,000. Oh now, this is much better.

Some Russians jumped the gun and built their own monster crossover. This is the work of a company called Shpilli Villi Engineering, who managed to make their Juke-R much more powerful, developing over 700 hp on normal gasoline and 800 hp on 109 Octane fuel.

Instead of the full body kit that the official Nissan Juke-R comes with, this keeps most of the regular crossover’s panels. To make room for the wider track and the bigger tires, they’ve made wheelarch extension. In fact, there isn’t really anything we like about its looks, but it should be a monster for drag racing at the Moscow Mile.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
