Nissan Juke-R Kicks Gallardo, 458 Italia and SLS AMG Ass* (w/Video)

*When Juke-R is driven by professional racing driver.

On paper, it seems like the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Bicolore, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing would have a pretty good shot of beating Nissan's Juke/GT-R crossbreed. The sports cars are all more powerful than the Juke-R, and the blocky mini-SUV can't touch their aerodynamics or top speeds.

But tip a couple of factors in the Juke-R's direction, and things start to look rosier for the Nissan in this race. For example, say you tap Nissan racing driver Lucas Ordoñez to drive the Juke-R. Say you build a special short course at the Dubai Marina that favors acceleration over top speed. In that case...well, watch and see.
