A Rare, Made-to-Order Model
According to Nissan Europe, the concept model "Juke-R," which received an overwhelming response since its unveiling, is now going into production because two influential figures in Dubai expressed a fervent desire to purchase it.
Nissan Europe has decided to proceed with sales on a made-to-order basis. While the concept model was based on the 2010 model of the "GT-R," the production model is planned to use the chassis and drivetrain of the "GT-R"2012 model, and one unit is already under construction. Currently, in addition to the two orders from the aforementioned individuals, at least one more order has been received. These three units are scheduled to be delivered to their owners by autumn of this year.
Furthermore, Nissan UK is reportedly accepting further orders. This "Juke-R," almost certainly destined to be an extremely rare, phantom car, is rumored to be priced at $590,000 USD, or just over 47 million Japanese yen.
To coincide with the sales announcement, a movie in the style of a film trailer has also been released.
