Star driver Lucas Ordonez is more used to the sunshine of Spain, but see how he gets to grips -- and loses grip -- in the Losna Isbane Ice Track in Lillehammer.

Being billed as a 'baby Godzilla GT-R', the Juke-R is the first ever super crossover.

It has grown from the first Micra-based concept developed by Nissan and built by motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan Technology Centre for Europe .

Under the bonnet is a406kW 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine adopted directly from Nissan's flagship supercar, however the limited-edition production version gets the new GT-R running gear rather than the concept's MY10 version.
