Watch This Nissan Patrol Annihilate A Porsche 918 Driven By Richard Hammond
For the series finale of The Grand Tour, Richard Hammond drag raced a seemingly ordinary Nissan Patrol in Dubai. I think you can see where this is going....
Sorry for dropping a massive spoiler in the headline, but I’m sure 99.99 per cent of you would have guessed straight away where this video was going. That ‘ordinary’ Nissan Patrol has Hoosier drag slicks, for Pete’s sake.
Sure enough, in the series finale of The Grand Tour, it had no trouble making a Porsche 918 Spyder look very silly on a closed section of motorway in Dubai. That’s because those slick-shod wheels are powered by a Nissan GT-R V6, with the nuts tuned off it to kick out a frankly silly 1900bhp. Oh, and it’s apparently owned by someone from the Dubai royal family…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
