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 ChironSVM 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.
