As long as there are sacred cows, there will be heretics sharpening their knives in anticipation of the butchering. When Nissan (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/) first carved into the mighty GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gtr/) to create the Juke-R (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/juke r/), onlookers quickly fell into two camps: those who thought the plan was sheer genius and those who believed cannibalizing a GT-R to feed a Juke (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/juke/) was a new brand of obscenity. We fell firmly in the former camp. Now Severn Valley Motorsport is looking to take that theme one step further by shoving the go-faster bits from a GT-R into a Nissan Qashqai (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nissan qashqai/). That noise you hear? It's us cackling like mad men.
While we can't say for certain, we're guessing the project should yield the world's fastest Qashqai thanks in no small part to the twin-turbocharged VR38DETT V6 engine from the GT-R. Throw in the all-wheel-drive system and the little CUV should change demeanor dramatically. We can't wait to see this thing in action.Nissan Qashqai getting Juke-R treatment (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/20/nissan-qashqai-getting-juke-r-treatment/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:44:00 EST.
