The GT-R engined pick-up seemed a wild idea; now make that a wild, £250k reality...
in a Navara pickup. As if that wasn’t ambitious enough, the VR38DETT V6 in question was originally intended for a drift car, so instead of the standard 550hp it was making more like 1,000hp…
Which, to many, probably seemed another ambitious lockdown project as we all had in the spring of 2020, like learning a language or mastering the souffle. But here we are, almost exactly two years later, with the SB Motorsport Navara-R complete and ready to be shown to attendees at both the Isle of Man TT and Goodwood Festival of Speed. They’ll even build you your own one, so pleased are the guys with what’s been made, but we’ll come back to that bit later.
First we should probably deal with the very fact that a road-legal, 1,000hp Nissan Navara exists. And you thought this much power in a GT-R was a bit daft. The engine itself is now 4.1-litres, taking 160 hours and a host of special parts - Garrett turbos, Tomei cams, Forge intercooler and so on - to build.
Biagioni said of finishing the Navara: “Everyone involved in the build-up and exposure of this project has been amazing and I can't thank them enough for their help and enthusiasm. I'm so excited to finally unveil this project for the public and let them see it in person!” Which is the point things stand to get really interesting, because if you’re one of those people who sees it over the next few weeks and fancies your own Navara-R, SB Motorsport will build one. For, um, £250,000.
