Just 3.7 seconds. That is the amount of time it takes for the Nissan JUKE-R to reach 62 miles per hour (mph). And that's only the tip of the iceberg for this race-car inspired Nissan. Based on the 2012 Nissan JUKE frame, the JUKE-R sits just a little bit lower and boasts a maximum speed of 160 mph. In short, the ultra-stealthy looking JUKE-R means business.

Nissan 370Z GT Edition

Nissan's new 370Z GT recently debuted at the International Geneva Motor Show. However, it was largely passed by, thanks to the futuristic glory of the ESFLOW. While it might not be quite as fantastic; it's still a very cool car... a bit of soul food for the racing spirit, if you will.
