Nissan Juke wows Goodwood with uphill stunt drive

13/07/2011 17:04

The Nissan Juke is believed to have beaten a world speed record. Crowds at the Goodwood motorsport festival earlier this month were treated to a show of the Nissan Juke's power when a stuntman used it to perform a daredevil feat.

Terry Grant took the wheel of the new urban crossover and drove it one mile uphill on just two wheels in two minutes and 55 seconds.

"If you know what you're doing, driving a car on two wheels in a straight line is comparatively easy," the stunt man said, but he admitted that the feat had not been a piece of cake.

"The Goodwood course has corners, inclines and obstacles ... I nearly rolled it on every run," he confessed.

However, Mr Grant can feel extra proud of his daring endeavours, as he and the Nissan Juke are believed to have smashed a Guinness World Record for completing the course so quickly, although this is yet to be confirmed by officials.

Those who want to have a go behind the wheel of the compact crossover can get their hands on a brand new model from just £12,795 at Bristol Street Motors.
