During the 24 hours of Le Mans the Nissan Juke NISMO was already officially unveiled. Back then there were no statements about the ability and we gambled on ‘just’ 190 horsepower, but it appears to be a whopping 200 horses.
In June, Nissan was still very cryptic about “a tuned version of the direct-injection 1.6-liter gasoline engine with injection and turbo”. Now we know that the 1.6 Turbo supplies 200 hp and 250 Nm. And that’s “just a bit more” than a standard Juke 1.6.

The Juke NISMO (Nissan Motorsport) will be available with 2WD (manual) and 4WD (CVT). The version with front wheel drive will sprint in 7.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h while the version with 4WD and CVT does this in 8.2 seconds. The top speed of the 2WD is 215 km / h and the 4WD stops at 200 km / h.
The sale of this top model (if we forget the Juke-R) will start early next year.
