The famous at least since the video game series, "Gran Turismo" is no longer totally unknown motor sports department, "Nismo" by Nissan shows at the AMI Leipzig Germany premiere of the Nissan Nismo Juke.
The exact specifications of the side by side with the tamer versions of the Nissan plant in Sunderland (UK) produced Juke Nismo be announced shortly before the launch. When Juke Nismo, customers have the choice between a model with front-wheel drive and an included variable power distribution (torque vectoring) between the rear wheels. The claim is sporting a performance-enhanced 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with direct injection underpins. The sophisticated aerodynamic body kit and an interior of a motor sports flair also reflect the influence of the Nissan tuning company.
The suspension was placed not only deeper, but even sportier driving. At the same time already gave the Japanese engineers have the standard 140 kW / 190 hp turbo-supercharged and 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injection power boost one.
The Nismo Nissan Juke is a foretaste of further specially developed Nismo models. In the future, are the additional Nismo become synonymous with quality and sportier version of Nissan's high-volume models. As a further component of the expansion program in early 2013 Nismo is a completely new and more tailored to their needs related corporate headquarters in Tsurumi (Yokohama).
The last was quite polarizing Juke talked about, as several bloggers were given the opportunity, the 480-hp Nissan Juke-R drive. And the great thing about Juke-R that is horribly ugly front with the unfortunately completely crashed juke frog eyes of the series at the variety of martial arts material additions hardly noticed / can be. Cleverly.

Previously had to be learned but a few properties as "SUV" - the Pajero-test car leaving me at the end of this week - unfortunately.
For some photos of the Pajero has a steep slope at the same time trying and was able to show what effect the differences in the attitudes of the four-wheel drive. Where to stay stuck in classic mode with 4-wheel-spinning wheels, the Pajero in 4LC locked rear axle and loose digs up the slope.The photos and the report of driving off-roader I come later - for now there is only one photo with a special character and symbol-dedication:
In the GTI meet at Wörthersee could admire the Skoda rally Citigo already. The unanimous opinion: The study is increasingly sporty! The Czechs have with the small car racer in the sense in particular, to demonstrate the potential that lies within him. Nevertheless, there are also a rich segment of the competition.
The sports study focuses more on the appearance, say, you fall with broad wings, a distinctive front and rear skirts and oversized roof spoiler. The alloy wheels are 18 inches tall and a fat pipe (centrally positioned) should not be missed. Also hood and roof were changed. To date there are more not to say about the rally Citigo with the performance would of course interesting. But Skoda has in this regard with information back yet. For a true sport compact car would have ran but a few more than the 75 hp version of the series.
