Last year, we showed you a car that Toyota dubbed the Land Speed Cruiser. It was a Toyota Land Cruiser (yep, that farmyard favourite) with 2,000bhp and target top speed of 220mph. Now, Toyota is yet to inform us how it"s getting on with that target speed normally only reserved for exotica starting with the words McLaren", Bugatti" or Koenigsegg", but an equally brick-shaped and well-loved 4x4 has already cracked the double tonne.It"s a twin-turbo 2500bhp Nissan Patrol hailing from the Middle East (obvs) and is blimmin" frightening and flippin" fast. This isn"t a super-slippery Nissan Patrol silhouette dripped over a drag chassis, it"s a normal Patrol stripped out wearing lots of mechanicals that make big horsepower.In the video above, you see it first on a dyno making lots of physics happen in a very small space. With the throttle pinned, the whole thing hunkers down creating more energy than our tiny brains can compute before lifting off the throttle and belching what looks like the centre of the earth out of its verticle stack exhaust.
