  • Nissan Juke-R 2.0 concept, 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed

    If indeed Nissan execs were displeased by the construction of the original Juke-R four years ago, they have a funny way of showing it. That’s because the Japanese automaker has unveiled a new version at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed currently underway in the U.K., where the vehicle will take on the event’s famous hill climb with GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough behind the wheel. In case you’ve forgotten, the original Juke-R started out as an off-book project by some of Nissan’s British staff and motorsport partners. The goal was to shoehorn the GT-R’s...

  • 2016 MINI Clubman

    MINI’s new Clubman is finally here, and as hinted at by last year’s Clubman concept the second-generation model is both bigger than the one it replaces and much more premium.

There’s still a split tailgate but the signature suicide-style single rear door has been replaced by two conventional doors, meaning the new Clubman has six doors in total. Vehicle length measures in at 168.3 inches, and inside there’s seating for five adults. Compared to the outgoing model...
