They probably named that piece "Desert Nemesis" because the only one who would pay $590,000 for that thing is the Sultan of Brunie.

I can say without hesitation that I think the Juke R is better looking than the GTR.

the video at that link...[shakes head+facepalm] ...was ultra-non-hetero

there was about as much "racing" in that stupid promo as there was in all of the FATF movies.

The Juke R...I wouldnt piss on it if it was mine and was on fire

We should jetison the gay/ghey/non-hetero comments.

That said, it's trully a bizarre idea, and one that makes me wonder if it's still April 1. Do the spoiled children of Billionaires really need this? I thought that cruising in Lambos was enough. Also, 545 HP with a top speed of only 152 MPH? That's probably the fastest that the thing can go without aerodynamic instability, but it just sounds pathetic.

Gearing, man, gearing.

Most of the Group B cars had a top speed around 110mph or so. But they'd get there very quickly.

And hopefully , like Group B cars, it'll kill its owners.

I'm guessing in this case it's limited. They're just dumping in a GTR drivetrain. The GTR will go well over 152mph.

I was thinking hmm,maybe a good way to go fast for reasonable money-untill I clicked into that link.Wow,100k for the gtr and 600k for the juke???.They won't have to worry about it being a limited run,sales will be very limited.

If I was going to buy an ugly supercar it would be the Gumpert Apollo. Only slightly painful to look at and sooo goood to drive.

+1. We've got members from all lifestyles and careers. (That's why I was able to get decent, useful responses when I needed to find horse blood on short notice.) I'd rather keep people around than offend them and have them hang out elsewhere.

SUPERCAR? JUKE R IS A SUPERCAR?

I need to get a new dictionary because the Junk R might be classified as a hmmmm, what would you call it? But supercar it ain't!

Oh wait, did I misspell its name. Sorry I get those 2 words confused.

In reply to 4cylndrfury: ya much better things can be said about that than non hetero. seems to me people who say things like this are trying to reference something they know nothing about. and non hetero serioously more offensive than saying what u meant.

Let's not start a pissing match. Old habits die hard, and we've all said things that offended people. Most of the insults that are currently considered "over the top" were once commonplace. I brought it up simply because I like 99 percent of the people here, and would like to suggest that particular phrase go to the graveyard of other ethnic/sexual/cultural put-downs where it belongs.

It's also fun to say. If I had a Juke i think I would name it Gumpert

Looks better than a Juke or a real GTR. Just put the engine in the back, infront of the, um, windshield.

Looks like something a Juke lover would love.
