GT-R-sourced twin-turbo V6 for AWD rally wagon

There are high-powered SUVs – Porsche's Cayenne Turbo, Audi's Q7 V12 and Subaru's Forester S-Edition, a collective nod your way – and there are more hardcore versions, such as Romanian brand Dacia's "No Limit" rally car.

Based on the Renault-owned brand's Duster SUV, the one-off rally SUV has been built to compete in this year's Pikes Peak hill climb in the US.

It's powered by a modified version of Nissan's 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine (as seen in the GT-R) which has been tuned to produce a mammoth 634kW of power and 900Nm of torque – close to twice the output of a GT-R (390kW/612Nm).

The engine is mated to a six-speed sequential transmission which has been specifically developed to handle the huge amounts of power being sent through it to the wheels.

The body features significant modifications, including a massive rear spoiler, modified roof turret, flared wheel arches and an aggressive, fat-lipped lower bumper extension. The skin of the No Limit Duster has been created using fibre-glass in order to keep the weight low.

      Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...

      I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too.

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
