Nissan Juke-R

It took a bit to grow on me, but this little bug with wheels is bad news.
Take the normal ungainly Juke and take out the backseat, push the firewall back and shoehorn a 545 horsepower (allegedly detuned to 480, but I have read reports of 570) Nissan GT-R's VR engine into it.
The result is a Juke that can go from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and has enough torque that the body actually twists a bit when you power shift.
The bad news, only 23 Juke-Rs made at $660,000 each.
