That was awesome.
Wonder if the driver was a pro? Give it to Top Gear and let Stig have a go...

While that's an impressive little car on its own merit, there are a few things to keep in mind...
1) That's a Juke only in the sense that it looks like a Juke. It's actually a specially built Nissan test vehicle. It's a Nismo tuned GT-R in a Juke costume.
2) The GT-R is one of the fastest cars currently available at any price, so it's not too shocking that a good driver can make it corner on a short track racing against cars that are built for driving at high speed on less technical courses.
3) That's a professional driver employed by Nissan in a Nissan commercial (in the social media context).

None of that takes away from the fact that the Juke-R is a great, fun concept. With the cost of the GT-R, it would never be "affordable" for most, but that doesn't ever make a car less appealing!

And - as hot as that little thing is, it's still not as hot as that 458 Italia :naughty:

You got to love it! Yes, it may not have the beauty of an Italian super car, however, it dos have a certain appeal to all of us who love to see our little car take on the upper crust of the automotive kingdom.
