7 August 2015
Feature

Last week, we pitched the 542hp Jaguar F-type AWD R against the storming Nissan GT-R, and the Nissan emerged triumphant. This time, we're putting the GT-R Nismo up against the 591bhp Juke-R 2.0. Driving the Juke is Matt Prior, while driving the GT-R is Nissan GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough. Who will win this time?

GT-R

I really liked the new GT-R when it was first introduced in 2008 and seeing one yesterday reminded me that I still do. It seems to have a presence that is not found in many cars.

Can't stop there...

Now need 0-100-0 challenge. Sorry, that would be 1.5mph-100-0!
