If you haven't yet read about the Nissan JUKE-R, you really need to frequent the Walser Nissan blog more often. Essentially a supped up, race-car inspired, version of the new Nissan JUKE CUV currently available to drivers in the greater Minneapolis area , the JUKE-R boasts a max speed of 160 miles per hour (mph), and a 0-62 mph sprint time of 3.7 seconds...

Three-point-seven-seconds! It takes nearly as long to say the time as it does for the JUKE-R to reach 62 mph.

That tenacious spirit is bundled into a super-stealth looking body that sits a tad lower than the 2012 Nissan JUKE and looks just a bit more ominous. Simply stated, the Nissan JUKE-R means business.

The question on the minds of so many skeptics out there, however, has been whether or not the Nissan JUKE-R can really walk the walk. To close the subject, Nissan voluntarily pitted their new speed daemon against three well-known supercars: the Lamborghini Gallardo, Mercedes SLS AMG and Ferrari 458 Italia. It is with great pleasure that Walser Nissan tells you the Nissan JUKE-R single-handedly spanked all three.

Check out the video on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OayXXRtdk4) for yourself and you'll see the Nissan JUKE-R isn't just the fastest crossover in the world. It's able to compete, and better yet, trounce, whisper-weight supercars.

As far as whether or not Nissan will bring their UK-designed JUKE-R concept CUV to production... The verdict is still out. Though, given the Japanese automaker seems intent on proving exactly what the JUKE-R is capable of, Walser Nissan, located at 14750  Buck Hill Road in Burnsville, MN 55306 is holding out hope.
