Nissan unveiled the Juke NISMO concept at the Tokyo Motor Show and took the opportunity to announce that its performance brand will have a much stronger influence over its production cars and be involved in building some hot road cars in the coming years.
The Nissan Juke NISMO concept is a glimpse of what the NISMO brand will bring to Nissan’s road vehicles. With the NISMO colour scheme of pearl white with red headlights, a really fantastic looking body kit with new front and rear bumpers and side skirts, the Juke NISMO is great looking car.
And with a 1.6 direct injection turbo engined rumoured to produce about 200 bhp it should be a bit nifty too.
Nismo president Shoichi Miyatani said “Our forthcoming range of cars will be just as accessible and innovative as every Nissan product, but with added NISMO energy they will be even more fun to own and drive”. And from what we have seen of the Juke so far we are inclined to agree with him.
There is no date yet as to when we can expect a Juke NISMO to be available but it is rumoured that something similar to what has been showcased in Tokyo could hit the showrooms next year. We wait with baited breath……
