If you’re a fan of The Grand Tour, the new show from Clarkson, Hammond and May, you may be familiar with this particular Nissan Patrol.

In the last episode of the first season, Richard Hammond drag races a Porsche 918 Spyder against a Bugatti Veyron and having dispatched that, lines up against this innocuous-looking short-wheelbase Nissan Patrol, only to be blown into the weeds.

There’s a highly-modified VR38DETT engine, stroked to 4.1 litres, capable of over 1400kW, as well as the GT-R gearbox, diffs, subframes and brakes. It’s a similar concept to the Juke R that Nissan produced a couple of years ago, only with around three times the power.

On the medium boost setting, equivalent to around 1200kW, it looks absolutely terrifying. Something this size and weight shouldn’t be able to accelerate so quickly.
