2015 Nissan Juke Nismo RS - Driven - Top Speed
Nevertheless, this four-cylinder, turbocharged, hot-hatch on stilts scoots down the road with plenty of speed. While the looks garner the majority of attention, there’s plenty more about the Juke Nismo RS that’s worth talking about. Nissan has fitted this bug-eyed monster with Recaro seats, a suede steering wheel with an on-center marker, and a host of aerodynamic upgrades. The Nismo RS might not be the fastest crossover/hot-hatch on the market, but it does pack plenty of fun. Yep, whether or not you like the way the Juke looks is up to you. Perhaps that’s what Nissan was going for. For me, the Juke’s front end takes after a certain Jim Henson character. I’d love to see the Juke in a lime green color to match. More objectively, the front is dominated by the two large headlights, Nissan ’s V-style grille, and large turn signals and daytime running lights on top of the hood. The sloping windshield creates the highest peak of the roof, which gets progressively lower towards the rear. Large rear haunches create almost-flat fenders, matching those on the front. Nissan’s “fish hook” taillights create a dramatic effect at the rear and they climb up the sloping rear glass. Source: www.topspeed.com
