Nissan and race engineering firm RML have taken the tiny Juke crossover and mated it with the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 and four-wheel drive system from the supercar slaying GT-R. This muscular, steroid-popping 'Juke R' has no less than 480hp.
Nissan, as it turns out, has a bit of a history with this kind of thing. This bonkers modified Micra began life powered by a 265hp touring car engine, then graduated to a 310hp V6 - all mounted where the rear seats used to be.
This Renault MPV: the Espace F1. With an 800 hp 3.5-litre V10 wailing away behind you (the crankshaft centreline was actually below the floor to keep the centre of gravity low) Renault's revolutionary MPV could crack 0-60mph in just 2.8 seconds.
Take one Golf GTI. Add a 631hp 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine from the Bentley Continental GT. Strip out the interior to accommodate said engine and what have you got? An uncontrollable hail of oversteering awesomeness, that's what.
Check a few of these out! Nuts!
