Nissan Juke Buggie Entered in Silk Way Rally...

OK, some people are going to say "I didn't think the Juke could get any uglier...but somehow it did..."

And I won't disagree with them...too much...

I still love it though...

OK, its not a realy Juke, its a buggie with a Juke looking shell of some kind on it.  Dessoude does know how to market however and this was a stroke of genius to put a Juke shell on a buggie.  A buggie gets little to no notice...a Juke however?  Gets noticed everywhere, especially in Europe.

I can't read much of the Dessoude .pdf as Google Translate doesn't appear to like .pdf but I can tell it is powered by a twin turbo diesel though it doesn't define it as a Nissan engine.  I'll have to inquire about that.

I'll be following the Silk Way Rally as this will be this vehicles first event, driven by Thierry Magnaldi, and there are a number of Dessoude and other Nissans entered.  It should be good for some great pictures running across much of Europe and Asia.
