Ynt: Nissan Patrol 2010
All-new V8 engine leads
array of segment-beating
hardware
The new Patrol is now the
most powerful vehicle in its
class. The key technology
achieving this jump in
performance over the
predecessor ’s 4.8 litre power
plant is the newly developed
‘ VK56VD’ 5.6-litre V8 engine
with VVEL (variable valve
event
and lift) and DIG (direct
injection gasoline)
technologies that generate
400hp and 560Nm of torque
with enhanced fuel
efficiency and cleaner
emissions on the top
specification version of this
new engine.
Every component has been
redesigned for maximum
performance and smooth
response, while a new 7-
speed automatic
transmission with Manual
Shift Mode and a wider range
of gear ratios than its
predecessor, gives the off-
roader the ability to deliver
power faster.
