Nissan Juke Nismo
First, as is customary, we saw it as Nissan Juke Nismo protototype as Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011, and now it is the turn of the production version, which will be marketed shortly and will step on our roads. The final Nissan Juke Nismo has been officially launched at an event before the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2012, taking place this weekend at the Circuit de La Sarthe.

Although far from the Nissan Juke-R, which finally remember a handful of units manufactured under commissioned prohibitively expensive (about half a million euros per unit), the Nissan Juke Nismo also seeks to inject more sporty Juke, which is unusual in "small urban SUV and crossovers" as the model, but yes, without much radicalism. It is clear that Nissan is not afraid of challenges, and the originality of which boasts the body of the Juke will be able to add more dynamism and sportiness with this variant Nismo.

As you can see from the pictures, the main changes that will present the Nissan Juke Nismo will be on the outside, with an aerodynamic kit for your body including sports front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear spoiler, modified front grille and rims 18-inch alloy exclusive design. It also receives minor adjustments to his frame, as a sport suspension or a more rapid and direct, with different calibration.

Inside also receive complete customization Nismo, on items such as steering wheel, aluminum pedals, sports seats upholstered specific or red stitching. It has also confirmed its mechanics, the familiar 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbocharged direct injection, which is already present in the range of Nissan Juke with 190 hp. However, for this version Nismo is talk of a power increase, although it is unknown for the moment the precise figure. The Nissan Juke Nismo will be available in Europe during the beginning of next year 2013, and later end up coming to the U.S. also
