DeLorean DMC-12, 1982. Posting this pic of a Dutch registered DeLorean because it feels like the 1980s encapsulated in a single image

Somebody should steal what little thunder the Cybertruck has by making an EV that actually looks like an ‘80s “wedge car.”

Make Al’s future car from Quantum Leap real.

The GT-R is a very cool car, by the way.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R has historically represented the pinnacle of Japanese sportscars, both in technological advancements and overall automotive capabilities. Hell, it earned the nickname "Godzilla" for how hard it dominated on track. We're talking "ending multiple racing series" domination (seriously, go have a read at its "Motorsport" section on Wikipedia, it is hilarious; it looks like a Chuck Norris meme).

Nowadays, the "R34" generation, the last Skyline GT-R, is probably the most famous and desirable Japan-only car ever (thanks in no small part to its lead role in 2 Fast 2 Furious, which in a true "DeLorean v. fridge¹" moment was going to be played by the Dodge Neon SRT4, which was a cool car, but you know...)

¹In case you didn't know, Back To The Future's time machine was going to be a fridge, but, since old fridges couldn't be opened from the inside, kids could've gotten trapped in emulation, so they instead used a DeLorean, significantly harder for kids to access due to poor sales, themselves due to the thing being pretty slow - so slow they had to import European gauge clusters for the 88mph thing because the US tach maxed out at 85 (which makes one wonder why they didn't just change the script to- wait how did the conversation derail like this? I swear this never happens. We were saying? Ah, right. The R34. Final Skyline GT-R. Ceased production in 2002 and that was that.

But then, a solid decade after the R34 left us, the Nissan GT-R dropped. Now a model unto itself, it no longer had to contend with the limitations that came with starting from a 'regular' car. And boy, did they have some fun and a half.

Like, this was some serious shit. Like "tires filled with nitrogen for more consistent pressures" serious. Its tech and engineering weren't just incredible in their own right, they added up to a car that indelibly cemented the GT-R name's reputation for slaying supercars. To properly communicate the level of not fucking around we're dealing with here: the video projected at its unveil was its lap at the Nürburgring [essentially, circuit racing's final boss, a grueling 23km/14mi hell where every sportscar is tested] that beat the production car record. With a damp track. I remember at the time, how spectacular it was to see Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche laptimes all get decimated by a car the fraction of the price with backseats and an actual trunk by the same brand that was making...

...this.

Yeah, this is not going to slay any supercar roster, is it.

Is it?

As you can imagine, that is no ordinary Nissan Juke. Well, however ordinary a Nissan Juke can ever be considered. No, that is the Nissan Juke-R. In short:

Yes, it's a Nissan Juke with the 600hp GT-R engine. And all the GT-R's tech. And the GT-R's All Wheel Drive system. And, well, most of the chassis of a Nissan GT-R. Which meant that you were seated far enough back to have the door pillars beside you, just as low as you did in the GT-R, and with nothing but a huge rollcage behind you, so the car was less comfortable, spacious and practical than the GT-R itself...

...and thanks to a much shorter wheelbase [distance between the wheels, for the unaware], much less stable than it too...

...and all this for worse performance due to the aerodynamic equivalent of a dog eating homework. All for five times as much money as Juke and GT-R commended combined.

Who approved this?

Yeah, checks out.

hmmm
