Fox Marketing Building 400-HP Nissan Juke Special

Nissan UK's move to shoehorn the GT-R's twin-turbocharged V6 and all-wheel drive system into the conceptual Juke-R may have very well opened Pandora's box giving independent tuning firms the confidence and a motive to create their own hi-po versions of the Japanese brand's small crossover.

Fox Marketing just announced that it's working on a new tune for the Nissan Juke that will be introduced in the coming months as part of the celebrations for the company's 12th year of creating custom cars.

"When we first saw the Nissan Juke-R that Nissan UK built, we where blown away," said the tuner. "But, to build a vehicle like the Juke-R you are talking a seven figure build budget."

So what was Fox Marketing's answer to this problem? The tuner decided to heavily modify the Juke's standard powertrain with the 1.6-liter engine gaining a huge turbo/intercooler upgrade pushing output to 400 horsepower.

Along with the engine, Fox Marketing says it will also add a new brake system with 14inch 6 piston calipers, 20-inch wheels and a more aggressive aero package plus some interior improvements such as the Yonaka Ronin racing seats up front.

Nissan UK Puts a Price Tag on the New GT-R Track Pack Model

The heir to the infamous Nissan Sky line GT-R, the GT-R R35, may be a international design provided in both left- and right-hand travel types, but certain special models and offers continue to be an unique choice for RHD areas.

One such example is a new edition of the lately current 2012 GT-R (to be marketed as a 2013MY in South America) for individuals who want greater efficiency on the track known as Monitor Group, which will be provided only in Asia and the U. s. Business.

The Monitor Group contributes £10,000 [US$15,600] to the £74,450 [US$116,150] market price of the normal 2012 GT-R, making it £84,450 [US$131,800].

The specifically two seater GT-R Monitor Group comes with a retuned revocation for optimum trail use along with additional braking system air conditioning channels designed in the entrance fender and behind the back tires, with Car professing that they decrease the managing heat range of the entrance braking system dvds by as much as 100 certifications on the trail.

On the outside, the Monitor Group contributes new light and portable six-spoke RAYS aluminum tires with shine dark-colored displayed companies and a different entrance spoiler.

As for the inside, aside from sacrificing the back hold common to cheaper the car weight, the new release of the GT-R profits a couple of Recaro entrance seating attached with pink increases and a ‘Track Pack’ symbol on the hub system.

There are no changes under the cover with the powerplant maintaining the same options as the ‘regular’ 2012 design GT-R, which results in 550PS of power for a 0-60 mph [96km/h] dash time of just 2.7 mere a few moments.

Nissan is already recognizing orders placed for all 2012 GT-Rs with first UK supply estimated next Goal.
