If anyone tells you that cars have become bland and humourless, tell them this: Nissan has designed and built two road-worthy Nissan Juke concepts powered by the Nissan GT-R.

That's right, the Juke shell was upgraded with the platform of a four-wheel drive, 485bhp Nissan GT-R.

Sporting a lighter carbon fiber body to improve handeling, a competition-grade roll cage to stiffen the chassis, stiffer coils and stronger dampers to maximise handling and finally, stiffer roll bars to help with the Juke-R's higher center of gravity in the corners.

Brakes come standard from a 2011 Nissan GT-R and so does the all-wheel-drive system.

Designed and built in only 22 weeks by race engineers, RML, this is quite the engineering feat.

Too bad it will never see production.
