Powerful Juke on the way

Nissan Ireland is to bring in the racing developed Juke Nismo to Ireland next year, as the first in a line of Nismo-badged high performance cars, writes Brian Byrne.

The Juke Nismo is powered by a 200hp 1.6 turbocharged petrol engine and will be available in an optional AWD version with a standard CVT automatic transmission.

The car features aerodynamic improvements to the body and a sub-8 seconds sprint to 100km/h as well as chassis enhancements to handle the power.
