Nismo is the in-house tuner of Japanese manufacturer Nissan, just as SRT is for Chrysler.

Three Nissan models that have so far benefited from the Nismo treatment are the 370Z, GT-R and Juke.

Nismo not only provides a sportier look to these models but can even engineer race machines for both the road and on the track.

In Los Angeles, Nissan will present several new features, including the Nismo version of the Juke.

The Nissan Juke Nismo RS

Unlike the Juke Nismo currently available, which delivers 197 horsepower, this "RS" variation is driven by a four-cylinder 1.6-litre turbo that generates 230 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque.

The Nissan Juke Nismo RS is front-wheel drive and uses a six-speed manual gearbox, while the all-wheel drive model receives a CVT transmission.
