The Brits from AutoExpress have done something that no-one has done quite yet, compare the Nissan Juke R against the 2012 Nissan GT-R on track.
As you may know the Juke R uses a GT-R sourced engine, but an engine which does not come from the 2012 year model version, so it produces with around 50 HP less than the coupe shown here.
The Juke R is also around 60 Kg heavier and due to the fact that new GT comes with a revised chassis and transmission, the aggressive looking crossover s clearly in disadvantage.
But just how fast did these two vehicles manage to lap the south circuit at Bedford Autodrome?
Well the 2012 GT-R did it in 65.8 seconds while the Juke R was only 1.3 seconds slower with a time of 67.1 seconds.
