That Patrol has 3 gears. Here, There and Gone.
Richard Hammond’s transition from smug confidence to absolute, soul-crushing confusion is one of the greatest moments in automotive television.
He genuinely thought he was doing the local driver a favor by not “upsetting” him, only to watch that white Nissan Patrol completely gap his million-dollar Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar.
The Middle Eastern tuning scene is famous for this exact trick—taking heavy, boxy SUVs and stuffing them with heavily modified, 1000+ horsepower engines (often from Nissan GT-Rs) just to embarrass supercars on the highway.
Watching Hammond yell, “He’s pulling away! In a Nissan Patrol!” as the SUV disappears into the distance is pure comedy.
If you had unlimited money, are you buying the undeniable prestige and engineering of the Porsche, or building an absolute sleeper out of a Patrol?
