This is not just any other Nissan Qashqai, it really is a beast in a Japanese suit. It presents itself as SVM Qashqai R and is prepared by Severn Valley Motorsports, headquartered in Telford, Shropshire, England and debits no more or less than 1150hp.
The conversion of a simple familiar to an authentic “toy” for adults went through the “necessity” to turn one of the most popular vehicles in the UK into something more than a popular SUV.

Its base is a Nissan Qashqai+2, then it was necessary to dismantle it almost entirely, to reinforce, enlarge and lower it. In addition to this work, a series of aerodynamic modifications were also carried out, to make this “piece of bad road” stable, at speeds exceeding 300 km/h.
Severn Valley Motorsport engineers equipped themselves with a 3.8 liter twin-turbo engine used in Nissan's “Godzilla”, the Nissan GT-R, and modified it until it produced a respectful 1150 hp. All mixed together, put in the oven and a Qashqai R comes out.

The acceleration of this Qashqai R is as overwhelming as its number of horses: from 0 to 100Km/h takes just 2.7 seconds, 200 km/h arrives in 7.5 seconds and covers the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds , crossing the line at 231Km/h. If we keep accelerating, the pointer only stops beyond 320 km/h.
