Nissan Juke-R: The engineering prospective [video]

Nissan has released a new promotional video for the Juke-R.

Meant to highlight the concept's advanced construction, the clip notes the engineering challenges that went into creating a compact crossover with the engine, electronics and all-wheel drive system from a GT-R.

Currently being constructed, the prototype will be perfectly road-legal and feature a unique appearance with new bumpers, revised side skirts and a massive rear wing. Additionally, the cabin will have GT-R instrumentation, a roll cage and two racing seats with five-point harnesses.

Performance specifications haven't been released, but the Juke-R has a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine which is rumored to develop 530 PS (390 kW / 520 hp).
