Nissan Juke NISMO RS

This one-of-a-kind Nissan Juke NISMO RS was spotted in Lapland, Sweden sporting tank treads, perfect for the snowy winter landscape there. The company says that it’s capable of hitting 100 km/h (62 mph), and thanks to its variable transmission, standard gearing shouldn’t be an issue since having such a transmission makes it more similar to standard cars rather than snowmobiles.
