The Nissan Juke Nismo was designed for the race car enthusiast who wants to feel the thrill of a high-powered engine with excellent handling while still owning a vehicle that is able of taking them out to pick up groceries down the street.
This mid-size hatchback comes equipped with many of the same elements featured in Nissan's GT-R supercar and other racetrack-ready vehicles that have been developed by the company in the past.
It features improved performance in high-speed situations and can easily steer its way out of a tight bend or sharp turn.
Although it still looks like a vehicle that regularly makes outings to soccer practices and the mall, the addition of a sporty spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels, lowered bumpers and ergonomic sport seats certainly amp up the crossover vehicle's visual appeal.
