Even putting them into limited production won't necessarily reduce the price to affordable levels - the six Juke-Rs that the British motorsport outfit RML built were all sold for nearly $600,000 when new. As a result, the fact Severn Valley Motorsport has announced you can acquire its bonkers Qashqai project for less than $14 is almost as incredible as the specifications associated with the modified vehicle.
As a result of this '$13.43 for one entry; 33.43 for three' prize draw, one lucky participant will be able to own arguably the most insane performance SUV that's ever been created. It may have started out life as a humble Nissan Qashqai, but this monster of a machine has been modified and strengthened to an inch of its life, culminating in its original 1.6-liter four-cylinder heart being replaced with a Nissan GT-R V6 that (courtesy of new bits, like Garrett turbochargers and fuel pumps from a Bugatti Veyron) now generates an incredible 1,500 hp. Better still, the vehicle is still fully road legal - meaning you can theoretically commute to and from work in a Qashqai that can complete the quarter mile sprint in just over nine seconds.
The fact you could acquire such a beast of a machine (which reportedly cost SVM more than £200,000 to develop) for less than what you'd spend on the latest Blu-Ray film release makes it an even more incredible proposition.
Hopefully whoever does end up owning this marvelous modified Nissan Qashqai uses it for what it was designed for: driving to and from the drag strip, and blowing everyone out the water in quarter-mile sprints.
