800hp Nissan Navara

[PranK]

This, boys and girls, is a Nissan Navara with a GT-R engine. It’s worth being blunt about that because, let’s face it, this is about as blunt as cars get.

It’s the work of Severn Valley Motorsport (SVM), the Shropshire-based company that has previous in shoehorning the GT-R’s gizzards into the body of a Qashqai, with 230mph as its loopy target.

Unlike that project, though, this one is very much in the conceptual stages. This is not a car (sorry, truck) that’s ready for sale. Rather, it’s a ‘look at what we can do’ that ought to worm its way into the dreams of hurried builders everywhere.

This Navara-R comes tuned up to 800bhp, but SVM is keen to stress you can have anything from the circa-550bhp of a standard GT-R, right up to 1,500bhp. Y’know, like a Bugatti Chiron…

SVM can transplant an engine tuned to your choosing straight into a Navara, accompanied by some appropriate chassis mods. Or, if your pockets are deeper, it’ll slot the pick-up’s body over an entire R35 GT-R drivetrain, clever four-wheel-drive gubbins and driver-flattering tech an’ all.

Wow, that name's a blast from the past, SVM used to be big in the Sierra/Escort Cosworth tuning world.

If I had more money than sense I'd do the same thing to my M35. 380RS ahoy.
