INissan Juke ngaphandle, iNissan GT-R ngaphakathi. Kwakungalesi sisekelo lapho uhlobo lwaseJapan lwajoyina khona eminyakeni embalwa edlule neBritish RML Group ukuze bakhe amaJuke amane akhethekile. Kulokho okuhlangenwe nakho kwazalwa iNissan Juke-R.
Kodwa obekungaziwa ukuthi ngaphezu kwalamakhophi amane (amabili aweNissan namabili acekelwa phansi) bekusekhona elesihlanu. Ngokungafani “nabafowethu”, akwakhiwanga yi-RML Group, kodwa yakhiwa abalungiselela iSevern Valley Motorsport.
Futhi yilesi “sici sesihlanu” esikulethela sona lapha. Ithengiswa esitobhini se-VDM Cars futhi kubiza “kuphela” ama-euro angama-237 941. Udidekile? Sesikuchazile kangcono ukusetshenziswa kwalokhu “kuphela”…
Nakuba ingeyona into edaliwe ngokusemthethweni, le Juke-R yakhiqizwa ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwe-Nissan futhi ifaka i-chassis ye-GT-R eshintshwe i-RML Group (umfushane ngo-150mm), kanye nazo zonke izinguquko ezaziqondiswe ezinye izinhlobo ezine.
Sikhuluma ngekhithi yomzimba ebanzi, amasondo afanayo okwandisa ama-arch, obhampa abagqamile kanye nespoiler sangemuva esifanayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, le Juke “enemisipha” inamasondo angu-20” kanye nama-brake caliper angemuva njengeNissan GT-R. Ngaphambili, i-SVM iphethwe yi-braking system, kanti ukuxhuma phansi kuqinisekiswa ama-absorber ashintshwayo e-Nitron.
Kodwa yilokho okungaphansi kwe-hood okuhlaba umxhwele kakhulu. Yile bhulokhi engu-3.8 litre twin-turbo V6 esiyithole kwiNissan GT-R. Nokho, le yunithi ithole ama-injection anokugeleza okungu-1050 cm3/min, isihlungi somoya esisha kanye ne-espoke exhaust.
Ngenxa yalokhu kuthuthukiswa, le Juke-R inamandla alinganiselwe aphakathi kuka-650-700 bhp (659-710 hp), izibalo ezithunyelwa kuwo wonke amasondo amane nge-automatic dual-clutch gearbox esiyazi ku-GT-R.
Sishiye ingxenye embi kakhulu ekugcineni, intengo. Ngabe noma ngubani ofuna ukuthatha le Nissan Juke-R ekhaya kuzofanele akhiphe imali engekho ngaphansi kuka-237 941 euros.
Kungase kubonakale kuyinhlanhla encane, phela kuseyi-Juke, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, intengo yangempela le. Okungenani yilokho i-VDM Cars eyenza kubukeke ngayo, njengoba cishe unyaka odlule le khophi efanayo yayithengiswa nge-649 500 euros.
