Arctic Tracks: Juke Nismo RSnow
Feb. 2 – Lapland, Finland – The Juke Nismo RS crossover is no stranger to tough conditions, so Nissan put a special customized version to the test in 50-centimeter deep powder snow on the frozen Uddjaur Lake in Lapland.
Fitted with 370-kilogram DOMINATOR Track Systems snow tracks, the Juke Nismo RSnow performed at speeds up to 85kph in Arctic conditions as cold as -35C.
The tracks, fit directly to the wheel hub by a crew of engineers and technicians, cost $9,000 and are not road legal.
The project surrounding the black 4WD Juke Nismo RS (with a 1600 turbo engine) kicked off in December, and testing in Lapland began at the end of last month.
