"While the main theme for Nissan at this year&amp;#039;s Tokyo Auto Show is green\u2014judging by the number of electric cars brought out onto its main stage\u2014one particular vehicle that caught our eye. It wasn&amp;#039;t a sports car, but it was sporty. It was a Juke with the full Nismo treatment.          For those unfamiliar with Nismo, it&amp;#039;s essentially the motorsports arm of Nissan, which occasionally dabbles in tuning production cars. In the past, we have seen a number of Nismo Zs, but this will mark the first time Nismo has tweaked a B-segment crossover.        Nissan Juke Nismo Concept    The already wild-looking Juke looks even more aggressive with Nismo&amp;#039;s body kit, which company officials say wasn&amp;#039;t merely intended to spice up the vehicle&amp;#039;s looks. Rather, it is functional, improving aerodynamics and stability at high speed. The changes include a new front fascia and a red-and-black splitter, matching side skirts, fender flares, a rear valance and a spoiler. The Nismo Juke also sits lower to the ground.        Nissan Juke Nismo Concept    A new, stiffer suspension provides better handling. We hear there are engine improvements, but Nissan didn&amp;#039;t share specifically what has been done to the powerplant. If the Juke Nismo makes it to production, we&amp;#039;re not expecting too much of a bump in horsepower. The turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-4 produces 188 bhp in stock form, so we could see something in the neighborhood of 200. To cope with the extra power, the Juke Nismo has Brembo brakes that dramatically improve stopping power. Attractive 19-in. wheels shod with sticky performance tires indicate that this Juke can handle itself on a race track.        Nissan Juke Nismo Concept    &amp;quot;The global sales success of the Nissan Juke has proved beyond doubt that customers are looking for something different,&amp;quot; said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. &amp;quot;The Juke Nismo Concept takes that idea to the next level. It&amp;#039;s energetic, distinctive and highly desirable.&amp;quot;        Nissan Juke Nismo Concept   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
