    187bhp 1.6t would be nippy enough. I would expect a Nismo version too.

    New 4wd GTI-R version would be epic

    The nismo version is likely going to be a fwd hot hatch, still give it 250hp and a good setup and it might do well.

    No chance. Only happened first time round for homologation

    Personally, I'd rather have the Sentra Nismo concept which in all articles is named Pulsar

    Looks too much like a clio! Its not bad though

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    It doesn't look very daring does it, kinda bland.

    I was just about to post about how dreary it was and that they won't do a proper hot version. Then I saw the above pic. I like that

    Will they do it though?

    Loose all the chavy red Fiat-esque sh!t and that would look quite nice.

    That R version won't happen. It looks like a bad chop with it having the old GTi-R vent on the bonnet. Plus the car won't have a top mount, there are more efficient methods to cool turbos these days.

    Plus I doubt they will do an 'R' version, they will no doubt try a wet blanket "Nismo" version which will be as lack luster as the Juke tbh.

    I'm a little confused by the specs . States 190PS (187 BHP) from its 1.2 turbo but only 0-60 in 12.7 secs.

    I couldn't see the weight but surely 187 BHP should drag it to 60 in a lot less than 12.7?

    I think they have ****ed up the figures
    80Kw and 187 Nm of torque is prob the figures for 12.7
