What's the news?
Nissan has created yet another special edition Juke, this time in a joint collaboration with Nismo and Warner Bros. Dubbed 'The Dark Knight Rises' Juke Nismo, this one-off is based on the standard Juke Nismo model, set to launch next year.
Exterior
The special edition shares the Juke Nismo's body kit, but is painted in matt black. Bat badges feature on the front and rear, and down lights underneath the door mirrors project the Bat symbol onto the ground. Red and black 18-inch alloy wheels are fitted, matching the colour scheme on the car's body kit. The standard aerial has also been replaced by a shark fin antenna.
Interior
Inside, bat logos are found everywhere. Bespoke kick-plates have been fitted, and the bat symbol projects into the roof lining from a specially fitted uplighter. The headrests of the suede-trimmed Nismo sports seats also sport the reflective symbol. Equipment levels are said to mimic that of the Juke Nismo.
Mechanicals
The Dark Knight Rises Juke Nismo will have the same mechanicals as the standard version: a 200hp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. The 0-62mph sprint is dealt with in 7.8 seconds and sports suspension should make the model sharper in the bends.
Anything else?
