Nissan's in-house Juke-R project has produced two running examples of the slightly insane toad/Godzilla crossbreed. The right-hand-drive version recently did laps around England's Silverstone circuit for the benefit of journalists.

The most amazing thing about this video is that it proves the Juke-R really works. All that GT-R sophistication really does fit in the Juke's stubby shell and it is fully capable of accelerating and braking and turning with some intention around the course (Not so amazing: It's raining in late-autumn England.) We'll have to wait for footage of a professional driver on a clear day to see what it can really do, but for now this is enough to quiet the naysayers.
