Severn Valley Motorsport has fitted the Navara with an 800-hp V6 engine.
The Nissan
Navara NP300 is not exactly what you would call tuning material, but
that hasn’t stopped Shropshire-based SVM from turning it into a monster.
Gone is the bi-turbodiesel 2.3-liter engine as the pickup truck in
Double Cab guise has made the switch to the mighty biturbo 3.8-liter V6
taken from a GT-R R35.
Don’t think the work stopped there as the aftermarket specialists
also bumped its output considerably. A regular 2017 GT-R puts out 565
horsepower, but in this modified Navara the six-cylinder churns a
massive 800 hp. If that’s not impressive enough, Severn Valley
Motorsport says it’s possible to squeeze a Bugatti Chiron-matching 1,500
hp.
Besides the engine transplant, the modified Navara
has Godzilla’s dual-clutch six-speed transmission and all-wheel drive
system. That being said, SVM mentions “anything is possible” and it can
even install a manual gearbox sending all that power to the rear axle.
It depends on how much customers are willing to spend, with pricing
kicking off at approximately £175,000 ($251,840) before value added tax.
All in all, what SVM is doing is downright insane in the best
possible way. The modified Navara is even more impressive than Nissan’s
own bonkers Juke-R
which also has the GT-R’s engine, but “only” with 600 hp. Luke Anthony
from SVM says “we are open to the craziest of ideas”, so sky’s the limit
when it comes to turning the Navara workhorse into a mind-blowingly
fast machine.
