press release from Nissan @ Paris motoshow finally reveals data for the Nismo and I am for one very disappointed1.6 turbo petrol, 197bhp, 0-62mph in 7.8 secs2 articles into todays pressNissan is launching its re-born NISMO sub-division in Europe with a new sportier version of its successful Juke small crossover. Following the Juke NISMO edition's first public appearance supporting Nissan's Le Mans 24hr race campaign in June, the production-ready model made its motor show debut today in Paris. While
there are plenty of cosmetic changes over the regular model, the Juke
NISMO is much more than a styling package as it adds some zing to the crossover model via an engine and chassis tune. Powering
the Juke NISMO is an uprated version of the DiG-T model's 1.6-litre,
direct injection turbocharged petrol engine delivering 197Hp (200PS) at
6,000 rpm and 250Nm between 2,400-4,800 rpm, an increase of 9Hp and 10Nm
respectively. Nissan will offer the Juke NISMO in both 2WD and 4WD variants, the latter equipped with a CVT gearbox as standard. The
2WD model accelerates from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 7.8 seconds and
has a maximum speed of 215 km/h (134 mph), while the 4WD model sprints
from 0-100km/h in 8.2 seconds and tops out at 200 km/h (124 mph). Nissan
says that, even though the NISMO model offers improved performance over
the standard 1.6-litre DiG-T model, fuel economy and CO2 emissions "are
expected to be unaffected". The
car's chassis has been re-tuned to deliver improved cornering
performance, grip and direct steering feel. According to the automaker,
spring rates have been increased by 10 per cent, while the dampers and
steering system have been modified. The
exterior package comprises an aerodynamic kit with new lower front and
rear bumpers, wider wings and sill side skirts, along with a modified
grille and tailgate spoiler. The Juke NISMO rolls on 18-inch alloy
wheels shod in 225/45 R18 performance tires. Inside
the cabin, which is revealed here for the first time, the NISMO
treatment brings redesigned sport seats, steering wheel, pedals, gauges,
gear knob and door trims. Seating, steering and door surfaces are
trimmed in Alcantara with accent red stitching. Andy
Palmer, Executive Vice President Global Product Planning, commented:
"The introduction of Juke NISMO further cements our dedication to
provide innovation and excitement for everyone. The Juke, with its
radical design and pioneering attitude, is the natural choice to be one
of the first Nissan models to receive the mythical performance and
distinctive design treatment from our NISMO specialists." The
Juke NISMO will be built at Nissan's manufacturing plant in Sunderland,
UK, alongside the other models of the series, with European sales to
begin early next year. Nissan said pricing will be announced closer to
launch.Nissan Juke Nismo revealed
