thanks for that, just found the story from the 2012 Motor Show in Sydney.
Engine details dont look to bad,
"Under the bonnet, the jaw-dropping features of the all-new Nissan Patrol continue with a superb 5.6-litre petrol V8 engine (Nissan’s VK56VD engine) delivering 298kW at 5,800rpm and 550Nm at 4,000rpm. Drive is to all four wheels via a new seven-speed automatic transmission. "
not sure I like the body profile though, too much like a Pajero for me.
