Nissan Navara-R with 1,000 HP

Nissan cars are often upgraded by tuner companies, but for one model we wouldn’t expect it to go through an upgrade. Of course, it is the Nissan Navara that, over a period of two years, has undergone an upgrade by the SB Motorsports team and Steve Baggsy Biagioni, a professional drifter. They created the Nissan Navara-R.

Impressive looking, the Navara-R is equipped with a wide bodykit manufactured by Sterling Automotive. These include new front and rear fenders, an accentuated front splitter, roof spoiler, rear spoiler and bumper extensions. The body of the car is covered with Fleet Livery Solutions Ltd. foil.

Inside, the Navara-R is equipped with Sparco seats, a new steering wheel, a small digital cluster and Kenwood sound system with a large touch screen located on the center console.

When it comes to powertrain, the Navara-R is powered by a 4.1L twinturbo V6 engine with 1,000 hp (735 kW). It is an improved engine from the Nissan GT-R, which originally delivers 562 hp (413 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637Nm) of torque. It is mounted on 20-inch BBS wheels to which power is transmitted via a modified dual-clutch transmission manufactured by Dodson Motorsport.

The impressive pickup costs around £ 250,000 and the order book is open.
