Nissan thinks that its in-house motorsport division is capable of raising awareness for the automaker, much like MINI did with the JCW name in the past. An to show that this won’t be aimed solely at people with a love for the 370Z like in the past, they’ve come up with a concept for what the Juke compact crossover could look like if the fully customized it.
Nismo has really gone to town on the Juke with the usual custom mods comprising of a body kit, fresh bumpers, a set of 19-inch wheels with performance rubber and a custom paintjob. But it’s not all show and no go, as the official Nissan tuner says this kit creates downforce with minimal increase in drag.

They aren’t going to tell us how much power they’ve managed to get out of the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, but expect something over 200 hp, thanks to a new performance exhaust, and presumably an ECU remap plus some better breathing.

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.
