NISSAN JUKE-R - SEAT FITTING AND ERGONOMICS

VIDEO 6 - SEAT FITTING AND ERGONOMICS - The driver is the most important part of any car and this fact is true within Juke-R. GT-R's 3.8-litre V6 engine has an impact on the interior of the car and it's vital that the driver is positioned where they can reach all of the controls and gain good visibility. This doesn't just mean the steering wheel and pedals - Juke-R's dashboard switches have had to be moved closer to the driver so they can be reached easily.

This video describes the details that go into making sure everything can be reached within the interior of Juke-R, highlighting that positioning the driver is a key part of the build.
