The 10th and final video in the Nissan Juke-R build series broke cover today, and predictably it's the best one yet. Juke-R hits the track at the MIRA proving ground and we get to see what a 480bhp family crossover looks like on the move.

It seems ironic that a car which already laps the Nürburgring in 7 mins 21 seconds, could need a 'Track Pack' to make it more suited to the task. But that's precisely what Nissan are offering its GT-R customers with this new track-focused edition of its 2012 model.

It feels so wrong... and yet you know you want to try it. Just once. While nobody is looking. The Juke-R is one of those cars that no enthusiast can deny wanting to drive, to sample the absurdity of its near-500 bhp powerplant shoe-horned into a conventional(ish) family crossover.

It seems a little frivolous to be offering free servicing on a £69,950 supercar, but Nissan seem to think it will make all the difference in convincing would-be 911 buyers to choose its top-range model instead.
