The Hero Comes Back: 2011 Nissan Patrol

2011 nissan patrol

The reliable off-roader comes back with an upgraded body and a roomier interior, ready to compete with Toyota Land Cruiser. Nissan’s 50-something-year-old biggest SUV  is powered by a 5.6-litre V8 engine with VVEL (variable valve event and lift) and DIG (direct injection gasoline), which generate 400hp and 550Nm of torque.

The four-wheel independent suspension, hydraulic brakes, hill start assist or hill descent control make it almost unbreakable, status which was confirmed by the many tests it has been put to. It’s been driven through desert, on rocky surfaces, highways and inner-city traffic. “By the time we came around to adding the new body and interior, we had virtually completed our reliability and durability testing and perfected all of the new technologies”, says chief vehicle engineer, Takashi Fukui. It has been upgraded both to the exterior and to the interior, by offering more space for the second row passengers, generous amounts of leather and high quality materials.

Belgian Designer Envisions a Lamborghini SUV

Lamborghini has never had anything in common with SUVs, not yet anyway, but that hasn’t stopped Belgian designer David Cardoso from imagining what a Lamborghini SUV would look like.

He came up with the Conquisto, a futuristic concept that combines the aesthetic look of Lamborghini with the bulky traits of an SUV. It’s a two-door, rear-engine vehicle, but these details don’t really matter since it will most likely remain just a very original concept.

I personally find the Lamborghini Conquisto very unnatural, but that’s probably just because I can’t imagine Lamborghini as an SUV. The Porsche Cayenne has been on the market a while now, but although most find it irresistible, I just think it’s weird looking.
