Want a Nissan Juke? How About One for $590K?
http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/...atures#content
The Nissan Juke has a starting price of $20,770, but add a few options like floor mats and accent lighting and now you can run that up to $590,000.
OK, it’s a little bit harder than that.
Last year, Nissan introduced the Juke-R, a one-off custom that combined the bullfrog body of the little cute 'ute with the high performance running gear from its GT-R supercar. Designed by Nissan’s European technical center, and built by British racing team RML, the engineering exercise turned the economical and fun to drive Juke into an all-wheel-drive piece of insanity powered by a 485 hp twin-turbocharged V6 so technologically advanced that it is hand-built in a clean room the way a satellite is.
Review: 2011 Nissan Juke
Created as a promotional stunt, the Juke-R made its public debut as the pace car for the Dubai 24 Hour race, where it apparently more than earned its keep. The folly proved to be such a hit that Nissan is now building a limited number of customer cars, expected to be on the order of 20-25 units, with a price tag of $590,000. That’s the equivalent of 28 of the already fun-to-drive 181 hp Jukes, or six $97,820 GT-Rs, and a high enough sticker to make it one of the most expensive cars in the world.
The customer Juke-Rs will get the latest 545 hp version of the GT-R’s drivetrain, and will be available for order in the United States.
Money, it seems, sometimes talks in a strange language.

Cool car, don't know why anyone would buy one though considering the GT-R is faster and 1/6th the price.

$24,000 for the Juke SL (as it is the highest available model).
So, where the hell does this car become worth an extra $466,000 if the standard GT-R is still faster? Must have impressed some of those rich sheiks who have more money than taste in everything they buy.
