New Nissan Juke NISMO Packs Tuned Turbo Engine with 197-Horses and Sport Chassis

Nissan 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.

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.
