VIDEO: Stealth 1,000 HP Nissan Patrol

Click above for image gallery and follow the jump for the video
We just told you about Nissan's next-gen Patrol SUV and the fact that it might be coming to North America. While rumors have the engine options including a first-ever V8 for the model, the big news is the diesel engine co-developed with Renault that's slated to put out 405 ft-lbs. of torque. While that sounds enticing, apparently that won't be good enough for a certain impatient Dubai businessman. He went to tuner HKS and had them turn up the wick a bit on a current-generation Patrol while he's waiting for the new one.
The result is more than 1,000 PS, or roughly 1,000 HP. And the best part is that the exterior remains mostly stock looking, though the giant hood scoop is admittedly a tipoff. We'd suggest tracking down some Pirelli Scorpions at least, though they're not likely to be as useful for track duty. Sure, a Bugatti Veyron might be more stylish and yes, it has about the same horsepower. Heck, it even has all-wheel drive, but it doesn't have nearly the ground clearance or the cargo room as this Patrol, so the decision was obvious. Apparently, this stealth bomber SUV was just featured in an issue of Option Magazine in Japan. If anyone has more details, please share. Until then, check out the gallery and the video after the jump.

Even that didn't help oil prices to bounce back...
This thing probably moves Japan a little bit closer to China everytime you squeeze the throttle.

happy_penguin is right, that comment was unnecessary...

So why is that racist? Call me thick.
That penguin guy is flipping negative. Check out his comments, he's a real down'er. Someone needs to flick that chip off his shoulder.

How is it racist?
happy_penguin 4:12PM (12/18/2008)
That was a joke.

Actually, happy_penguin, I know your comment was a joke. I was more concerned about fmwso's followup to your comment.
happy_penguin 2:21AM (12/19/2008)
Yeah... sorry for any confusion about my intent. It stemmed from another comment here under another post where someone was, in my opinion, falsely accused of racism. Not really a joke as much as me being sarcastic. I didn't think sarcasm tags were necessary. ;)
I'm just a bit tired of the whole overuse of the R word thing. :-/

That truck is wicked.
They should just make a power-dome hood with an opening on the leading edge.

Can it outrun its own ugliness?

More than likely.

Agreed, it's like a Subaru throw away design.

Is it just me or does the air box look like a carbon fiber milk crate...

A Nissan patrol plus the mods and everything shouldn't cost you more than 125k. I've seen a lot of 1000hp + nissans here since my brother tunes them.

HKS is really redefining the term air "box"
