Cant understand a word but as the title suggests I am guessing this is a development Nismo RCthey are currently testing

Today we have the opportunity to test the Nissan Juke Nismo, it has (I think) 220 BHP.

That's as much as I can make out on the first showing, as he speaks at 90 mph

I've managed to slow down the audio, by making a Screeny Video, but the audio gets crackly at lower speeds. The audio comes off the speakers, and therefore includes a little background noise, so that cuts down the clarity as well.

He ends by saying they gained a good first impression of the car.

Exciting stuff, I'm very interested to see the spec on the RC (I thought they were going to call it the RS though?)They are doing a 370Z version too

 

[Deks]

I thought they were calling it RS aswell. Although I know the RS tag has caused other makers issues in the past like Skoda who had to add the v to the RS

I've been trying to look in to this a little more...Various sources suggest a Juke Nismo RC model will be released toward the end of 2013 offering 223-228bhp, revised chassis, handling, lower suspension, wider wheel/tyre combo, more aggressive bodykit etc.Could be interesting to see!

Sort of...

Whilst I wouldn't want to deprive any prospective owners, it would be nice to be driving around in the current Nismo for at least a little while before the newer, better, version comes out!

15/20 MPG coming up

 

[Lordharding]

I think it's wise for us new breed of Nismo people to get in at an early stage

Evos are gone forever
Scoobies no longer import the Sti / impressa
RS focus ?

So what other serious performance cars are there about there for 20-25k price points to tempt the enthusuists and petrol heads

 

[TTDegs]

I could say GT86 and Pug RCZ, but they're not in quite the same game

 

[--DaRk-AnGeL--]

GT86/FRS/BRZ offspring are cool... good cars to drive and easy to modify but expensive when you start adding from the parts list!Plus at 6ft3in, my head touches the roof!

There are rumours that Honda will do another Civic Type-R, albeit with the herecy of a turbo (gasp).Hopefully it will reverse their trend of being slower and less fun each generation. It would need to be under 25K now to stand a chance of selling against the Nismo.Even though I really enjoyed the noise the high-revving VTec engine made I am not going to hold my breath waiting for the next one. I am sure they will do one as Honda are re-entering F1 as an engine supplier and I reckon they need to get back to a sporty image. Their current line-up is booo-ring.
