When the Nissan Juke debuted a few years ago, it sent a shockwave through the crossover segment and proved they could have character and dynamic handling.

Slow motion and forceful music is used (possibly overused) throughout the video to heighten the drama – even soup ladling gets the intense, cinematic treatment. With Nissan banners flying in the harsh, Siberian wind, GT-R pilots Roman Rusinov and Andrey Leontjev enter their respective vehicles. More...
