Little did Hammond know that he was going to be beaten by this in a Porsche 911 on the Grand Tour

[@uirmeg]

DT GamingYT Porsche 918

[@donotsubscribetome7101]

Its not the Porsche 911. Its the Porsche 918 Spyder vs the Nissan Patrol.

[@marwanjleid5712]

The vtc 4800cc engine is a legend in the middle east!

[@asherjames1318]

The Patrol is sporting an entire R35 Nissan GT-R VR38 drivetrain that has been stroked out to a 4.1 liter engine build by T1 Race Development. Not only that, but this Patrol also has a build Shep Transmission as well as GT-R axles, hubs, brakes, rear subframe, everything! They sent a GT-R over to the shop, and they got a shell back essentially. Jeremy Clarkson would be proud!

[@nicholasturner5159]

@@asherjames1318 yeah that 1 of a kind y61 patrol is... but what about all the lwb y61 full size full weight TB48 turbo patrols that chop everything in uae everything from twin turbo modified Lamborghini's, McLaren's you name it even a turbocharged drag Hayabusa road bike gets the chop

[@SpencerHHO]

You see these and land cruisers everywhere in Australia, for the simple reason that they really do work off road and they really do last a very long time.

[@SpencerHHO]

I'll add that I just bought one.

[@ZexqTheOG]

John Cheesecake I'm getting one when I'm 16, 3 years to go

[@bimosalexandres]

which one better for offroading rough terrains? this or land cruiser?

[@bujasemalmuhairi2445]

As a landcruiser owner and experienced in the nissan patrol I'd say go with the landcruiser enough the name tho..

[@beaufighter245]

Spencer Howard me too. Would not bother with any other 4x4.

[@TechCrazy]

This Nissan patrol had the best looking form and was a beast.

[@syedsadiq4446]

this thing is still around and offered in 2019 with 4.8 vtec petrol engine a BEAST and the best 4x4 ever made!

[@lethenparkesTeamRacc]

vtec is honda and the 4.8 is TB48

Condolences ❤

[@IONACOMPUTERS]

Iv had one for 15 years on Welsh mountains , it is still fantastic off and on road , the zd30 pre common rail injector pump electrics recently died , that is it's only downfall I can find , found a good used pump , now back on road after 6 months parked up waiting , really missed the vehicle , it's towing capabilities are extremely safe , with 3 tons at rear downhill on a steep road in low ratio it's very reassuring, highly recommended, iv got a mercedes om 606 TD engine to fit into it in future , 285/75/16 mud tyres on custom rims makes it even better

[@med448]

I know this is 7 years old video but how's the fuel consumption of it? I am planning to buy one.thanks

[@Land_Cruiser_40]

12 - 13 liters per 100 km for the 2.8. About 11 liters per 100 km for the 3.0. Cheers

[@ChosenOne563]

This vehicle is marvel, You dont think about fuel consumption, Just buy and drive in river, deep mud, sand, snow every where.

[@OTPpride]

Fuel is fucked expensive

[@nicholasturner5159]

[@knightrider1545]

@richardhammond can you do a review on the 2009 nissan patrol with the 4.8 please?

[@rscosworthfan]

not available in uk as a 4.8 we only get the 2.8 and 3.0 unless one is imported

[@martinferguson2632]

knightrider1545 I'll do the review for you, I owned one for 15 years. It is a great car with ample power and unbeatable off-road ability. You just need to be rich to drive it anywhere. Mine averaged 26 litres per 100km. When you're in 4l on the tracks for the day, make sure you have both tanks full and a couple of Jerry cans as back up.

[@Bo_Hazem]

Martin Ferguson Wow! 26 is pretty high. I get around 17.3L/100km on my short wheel base 2016 Y61 4.8L, manual (4.111 ratio). But yes, it drinks petrol, so better avoid unnecessary weight and additions, just put what you really need like avoiding steel bumpers.

[@JakemanSnakeman302]

@@martinferguson2632 a 4.5 is much better for fuel mine only does 11

@@JakemanSnakeman302 bahahaha 11L per 100K my ass liar... the tb45 is worse than tb48 on fuel consumption I know because I own a 2006 tb48 gu patrol and I'm basically a Nissan Patrol historian lol

2021 model is there , patrol safari and super safari

[@BGSGBF]

Yeah, and I am sure that nowadays that zd30 already granted all its pleasure to the owner, the one, it’s kind does after 160k landmiles…

[@camerongsx9122]

Mines at over 400,000km making nearly 300hp on an unopened engine. They aren't all bad. I keep a really close eye on boost, EGT, water/oil temps. So far, so good.

[@louisnel6140]

2min 23 pls close the passenger door properly.

[@CamoShirt]

seems its the english way to talk about how big the vehicle is from some where else when its typically the same size as their own.

[@Ezalian]

+walksnomore Back then, the Nissan Patrol and Land Cruiser is actually larger than any Land Rover's model (Ranger Rover included).

[@CamoShirt]

if you line up a lamborghini, a ferrari, an aston martin, a corvette and a few other super cars they look the same but Jeremy Clarkson will be saying how the corvette is to big for the road.

[@ricardo3760]

But then again you have shorties, GQ shorty is pretty small and beats the fuck out of any Rover

[@nicholasturner5159]

The only engine still made to this day for y61 patrol is TB48 engine (the best engine that came in y61 Patrols) that's saying something 20+ years of production still going. In Australia TD42 is known as "kettle's" because that's what they sound like when they're overheating like a boiling kettle lol. And ZD30 is known as a grenade because they literally blow up like a grenade lol.
