The Nissan Juke-R has become kind of like a cult vehicle that people have been dying to see go to production. Well, to all you expecting folks out there, your prayers are about to be answered as Nissan acquiesced to the clamoring. The Japanese automaker will be building the Juke-R in a build-to-order basis. And that’s not the end of the good news either. According to Nissan, the production version of the Juke-R will carry the 2013 Nissan GT-R’s twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine, one that carries an impressive output of 542 horsepower and 466 lb/ft of torque. That’s a significant output increase from the 485-horsepower Juke-R Concept! Talking about Nissan’s decision to give the production green light for the Juke-R, Nissan’s marketing product manager for the Juke, Gareth Dunsmore, said: "The Juke-R was originally intended as a one-off concept to marry two of Nissan’s most innovative models. But the reaction we had to the car in Dubai was amazing – people were making offers for the original on the street!" We know that a lot of people are jumping at the chance to be one of the owners of the Juke-R. So to give you a small taste of what you’re going to be in store for, check out a video of the vehicle, called "Desert Nemesis" after the jump. Join GT Academy winner Lucas Ordóñez as he takes the Juke-R to the streets of Dubai to take on some of the fastest and most powerful supercars on the planet! Hit the jump to watch the car in the Dubai desert. 19 comments: Nissan Juke R hits the Dubai desert; limited production (...) It is limited because it’s not all the time that you use this kind of car in a desert. Actually, it’s efficient on any kind of surface.
 Why must it be limited? It has this powerful appeal, so I don’t think that its sales will flop! I hope Nissan gets convinced.
 I honestly like it wholly. I don’t know yet its interior, but I’m expecting it to be as alluring as its exterior. It’s not only the design that has captivated me; it has a perfect tiny built. Aside from that, I find its high power astonishing too. Undoubtedly, this will look excellent on the run.
 Does it have four headlamps? Whoa, its horsepower is beyond 500HP! It isn’t obvious that it is so dynamic, to be honest. What I can say about its exterior is that it has a nice paint job, and although the features are sort of looking scattered to me, it’s still stylish.
