Nissan Launches Personalization Program for Juke Crossover in Europe
While in the U.S., infotainment systems with all sorts of apps are all the rage, European new car buyers seem to want more extreme personalization options from manufactures.
This could be because they don’t really fancy having the exact same car as their next-door neighbor or the one next to the company parking lot.

Pricing for the brand-new Nissan Juke Nismo will start from £19,995 on-the-road in the UK for the front-wheel drive model with a 6-speed manual when the Japanese company begins to accept orders in January 2013 with first deliveries set for March.

Watch a DIY Nissan Juke R from Russia Hit the 1/4 Mile in 10.48"
The original Nissan Juke R with a twin-turbocharged V6 heart transplant from last year's GT-R that beats to the tune of 545-horses is no doubt one of the craziest and fastest crossovers ever to be offered for sale by any car manufacturer.
It's also one of the most expensive as it carries a price tag of €500,000 or close to US$650,000 at today's exchange rates.
But it isn't alone when it comes to insanely powerful Jukes as one Russian owner has created his own vision of the Juke R fitted with an unspecified engine pushing out 750-horses.

The wildest crossover ever to make the transition from concept to production, the new limited run Nissan Juke R that utilizes a modified version of the GT-R's platform and twin-turbo engine, is ready to be placed into the hands of a select few customers.
Nissan announced today that the first Juke-R road car has been built and tested and is now on its way be delivered to its new owner, adding that production of car No002 is "well underway".
The Japanese carmaker said that the exact price of the Juke R's depend on the precise specification requested by each buyer, but noted that it starts from a whopping €500,000 (about US$652,500) a pop, or more than five times the cost of a GT-R in Europe (6.5 times in the U.S.).
The street-legal, production version of the Juke R is more powerful than the 485bhp concept, as Nissan used the latest GT-R's 545bhp twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter engine that allows for an estimated 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 275km/h (171mph).
New Nissan Juke NISMO Packs Tuned Turbo Engine with 197-Horses and Sport Chassis
Nissan is launching its re-born NISMO sub-division in Europe with a new sportier version of its successful Juke small crossover.
Following the Juke NISMO edition's first public appearance supporting Nissan's Le Mans 24hr race campaign in June, the production-ready model made its motor show debut today in Paris.
While there are plenty of cosmetic changes over the regular model, the Juke NISMO is much more than a styling package as it adds some zing to the crossover model via an engine and chassis tune.
Powering the Juke NISMO is an uprated version of the DiG-T model's 1.6-litre, direct injection turbocharged petrol engine delivering 197Hp (200PS) at 6,000 rpm and 250Nm between 2,400-4,800 rpm, an increase of 9Hp and 10Nm respectively.
Nissan's 370Z Facelift, Juke NISMO and NV200 Taxi to Make European Debuts in Paris
While the new TeRRA crossover concept will no doubt be the highpoint of Nissan's Paris Motor Show stand, the Japanese automaker will also bring several new production and prototype cars to the City of Light for their European premieres.
These include the subtly refreshed, 2013-specification 370Z Coupe and Roadster that receive a newly styled front fascia with vertical LED daytime running lights lights on both corners of the bumper along with new color options and wheel designs.

The success of Nissan's crossover models such as the Juke and the Qashqai in Europe has not gone unnoticed by its partner Renault, which is now preparing to duplicate the Japanese brand's recipe staring with a junior CUV.
At the 2011 Geneva Salon, Renault hinted at its intentions to enter the small crossover segment with the fancy Captur Concept. Later on, the French automaker confirmed the development of a production model loosely inspired by the study to replace the Modus and Grand Modus small minivans in its European lineup.
Now, we have the first scoop photos of the prototype model that will lead to the production version and which was nabbed while testing in Europe. As you can see, the only resemblance to the concept is the car's front-end styling with the rest of the body being completely different.
C&D Pits Nissan Juke-R Against Porsche 911 GT2 RS
When it comes to extreme production cars, the limited run Nissan Juke-R takes the cake, and rightfully so since the Japanese automaker essentially dropped the body of its small crossover over the (shortened) chassis and powertrain of the supercar-slaying GT-R sports car.
In prototype form, the Juke-R uses the MY10 GT-R's 485hp V6, but the actual production model, which will carry a base price of $590,000 (about €473,000), will get the even more powerful 545hp turbocharged engine from the improved MY12 (2013MY in North America) GT-R.

Production of the "Juke with Ministry of Sound" will be limited to just 3,000 cars in Europe with the UK getting 250 of those and Germany 400.

Nissan's U.S. division has presented the 2013 model year version of its funky looking Juke crossover, the highlight of which is the introduction of a new Midnight Edition variant that is available as an accessory package on the S, SV and SL trim grades.

New Nissan Juke Nismo with Tuned-Up 1.6-Liter Turbo Engine Debuts at Le Mans
It might not be as near as special or powerful as the limited run Juke R, but Nissan believes that most buyers looking for something sportier than the regular Juke will be content with the new Nismo-branded model that makes its world premiere in production guise at this week's 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.
First seen as a concept model at last year's Tokyo Motor Show, the new Juke Nismo will go on sale in Europe in early 2013, with Japan and the U.S. to follow at a later date.
The Nismo badge brings a host of enhancements to the Juke starting with a tuned-up version of its 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged petrol engine.
Nissan has not yet disclosed performance figures, but for the record, in regular trim, the 1.6-liter turbocharged unit delivers 188hp (190PS) and 240Nm (177 lb-ft) of peak torque.

While Nissan does not need any help selling the small production run of its 545-horsepower and 160mph (257km/h) Juke R special, the Japanese automaker is constantly looking for a reason to create additional buzz around the high-performance crossover with the hope that some of it will rub off on the regular model.
Following a string of videos from Dubai that entailed a supercar grudge match, Nissan PlayStation GT Academy winner Lucas Ordoňez took the Juke R to trial it at the snow-capped mountains of Norway and the Losna Isbane Ice Track.

Another day, another video of the production-intent Nissan Juke-R. After the release of a short film that tells the tale of the GT-R-powered crossover's race against a trio of exotic supercars, Nissan has now published two new videos of the Juke-R in the hands of the Nissan/Playstation GT Academy winner Lucas Ordoňez.
Ordoňez takes the 3.8-litre, 160mph (257km/h) Juke-R for a picturesque ride in and out of Dubai.

On the heels of the announcement on the limited production run of the 545-horsepower Juke-R, Nissan launched a new cinematic online movie today.
The six-minute long film is named "Desert Nemesis" and it follows Nissan’s inaugural GT Academy winner, Lucas Ordonez, taking on a handful of European exotic sports cars including the Ferrari 458 Italia, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, through the roads of Dubai’s exclusive International Marina Club.

One of last year's wackiest concept models, the Juke-R, which blends the body of Nissan's small crossover with the driveline of the GT-R, will be made available to buy in a very limited run on a build-to-order basis, Nissan announced today.
And not only will it be built, but the production Juke-R will actually be more powerful than the concept as instead of sporting the MY10 GT-R's 485hp V6, it will get the 545-horsepower drivetrain and chassis of the improved MY12 (2013MY in North America) GT-R!
Nissan said it took the decision to produce the Juke-R after attracting enormous attention, especially since it debuted the 3.8-litre, 160mph (257km/h) model in Dubai in January this year.
"The Juke-R was originally intended as a one-off concept to marry two of Nissan’s most innovative models," said Gareth Dunsmore, Marketing Product Manager for the Juke. "But the reaction we had to the car in Dubai was amazing – people were making offers for the original on the street!"
Nissan Juke-R Versus Nissan GT-R on the Race Track: Which One do You Think Will Win?
The great thing about the Nissan Juke-R is that it is not one of those 'touch it and it will break' kind of concepts we usually see from automakers but a fully working prototype that has already covered plenty of miles on the track in the hands of a number of different people.
This time it's the crew over at British car magazine Autoexpress that had the chance to drive the 485-horsepower Juke-R.
However, instead of putting it through its paces alone on the south circuit at Bedford Autodrome they also brought along the car that inspired its creation, the 2012 Nissan GT-R (2013MY for North America) that is rated at 545-horses.

Two major international auto shows and many positive reactions were enough for Nissan to make a decision on the development of a production version of its sported-up Juke Nismo, which we first laid eyes on at last year's Tokyo Motor Show.
Previewed once again as a concept model at the Geneva Motor Show this week, the Juke Nismo will be built at Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK in Sunderland alongside the regular Juke with European sales to start towards the end of 2012.
