Dark Knight-Inspired Nissan Juke NISMO Finds New Home in Wales
He may reside in Carmarthen and not Gotham and his last name may be Williams not West; but, Welsh baker, Adam Williams, is as close to a real-life Batman as anyone can hope to be - and it's all thanks to Nissan.
You see, a while ago, around the time of the Dark Knight Rises movie release, Nissan in conjunction with Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., held a contest giving one very lucky UK fan the chance to win a brand-new Nissan Juke NISMO designed as a nod to the popular Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy.
And, recently Mr. Williams was announced the winner: an honor which he says he can't believe and even described as the biggest surprise of his life. "It's great to think I'm the only person in the world with my very own version of the Batmobile,"1 Mr. Williams states.
Here's a look at what Mr. Williams' Dark Knight Rises Nissan Juke NISMO has to offer
- 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with front-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission
- Takes 7.8 seconds to sprint from zero to sixty-two
- NISMO body kit, uprated suspension, enhanced interior
- Matte black exterior paintjob (like the Tumbler Batmobile from the Dark Knight Rises).
Aluminum Bat logos on the auto's front and back.
- Black 18-inch Nismo alloy wheels with red details.
- Reflective Bat logos on front and rear headrests and door sills.
Pretty exciting, indeed. And, though we won't be seeing this exact model in the *Tulsa, OK *area any time soon, the standard Nissan Juke is ready for a test drive here, anytime.
