We don't know about you but Bay Ridge Nissan always finds it fascinating when automakers like Nissan take a production model and pump it up with supercar-status power. That's why we all are raving fans of the Nissan JUKE-R. Some enthusiasts out there, however, are skeptics of the automaker's decision. These naysayers are unsure that a revamped sibling of the Nissan JUKE crossover could ever be touted as the "world's fastest crossover."

Well doubters, we understand your hesitance and recognize that it's much easier to see and believe than believe without seeing. But we also say this: no longer shall you question the power of the Nissan JUKE-R. Why? Because the automaker has pitted its automotive creation against some of the best in the racing world and proved its claim to be true.

Built with the 485-hp turbocharged V6 of the Nissan GTR, the JUKE-R recently raced models such as the Gallardo, SLS AMG and 458 Italia around a specially-constructed track at the Dubai International Marine Club. Despite the model's comical, out-of-place appearance, it easily managed to leave its competitors in the dust and turn skeptics into believers.

As for the future of Nissan JUKE-R, company officials say that the crossover-inspired supercar will remain in Dubai "to take on the supercar establishment in their own urban back yard."¹ To capture the luxury-status street competition for yourself, Bay Ridge Nissan encourages you to head to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OayXXRtdk4.
