The monster Nissan developed by adding some of the best features found on their GT-R supercar to the cute little Juke crossover has finally come alive -- and the Japanese automaker made sure we knew all about it by posting a video on YouTube.

In case you've been living under a rock for the past couple of months, the Nissan Juke-R borrows from the GT-R its 3.8L twin-turbo V6 that unleashes 480 ponies through a 6-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel drive system.

A sport-tuned suspension, lower ride height, ultra-lightweight 20'' RAYS alloy wheels, full body kit, two-piece spoiler, pentagon-shaped dual tailpipes, and sinister charcoal body paint significantly transform the Juke's exterior.

Inside, a roll cage, sport steering wheel and pedals, 7'' touchscreen, and dual race seats complete the modern Godzilla-esque picture.

Too bad the Nissan Juke-R will never hit the market...
