Make Nissan Great Again
It’s been a tough couple of years for Nissan; the once strong and mighty Japanese automaker has been in dire straits. It started as a rumour that went wild, which eventually led to the brand reorganizing, with a failed attempt to merge with Mitsubishi and Honda, and the closure of some manufacturing plants, along with the sale of its own brand HQ in Yokohama, Japan.
However, the automaker came out swinging in 2026 with a decent showing at the recently concluded Tokyo Auto Salon. There is still a large number of brand lovers, and some of them are taking it upon themselves to bring back the love for Nissan through Nismo, in some unorthodox ways. One of those is Destiny Inc. in Japan, and it’s a uniquely odd Caravan Nismo concept.
Nissan Caravan Nismo
Dynasty Inc. Japan is a firm responsible for putting the bling on some very unique builds; some of its kits and parts belong in the Need For Speed Underground 2 catalog. The company has just released a kit for the Nissan Caravan, and what makes this interesting is that the inspiration for it comes from the outgoing Nissan GT-R Nismo.
The first noticeable homage to the GT-R Nismo is that the Caravan Dynasty Alive GT kit has the iconic stealth grey and red accent colorway. It also features a new front bumper. wheel arches, side skirts, and rear bumper that very much resemble the design on the Nismo GT-R.
The Caravan is also slammed very low to the ground, and to round out the whole kit are the half rear wing and bigger aftermarket rims. The kit retails for around $1,600 (at current exchange rates) and is exclusively sold in Japan for now.
Call it crazy, but in other major markets, the Caravan is a huge seller for Nissan. Apart from Japan, Asian markets like the Philippines and Thailand buy these passenger vans in droves, and each country modifies its Caravan (or the Urvan in some markets) almost identically to the slammed look of the Dynasty Inc. kit.
Nismo to the Rescue?
It also needs to be said that Nissan is using Nismo to regain some interest in the brand; the world is clamoring for performance models, and it recognizes that. It has already gone on record as planning to increase Nismo vehicle shipments to 150,000 annually by 2028.
This, along with capitalizing on the restoration market through an expansion of the Nissan Heritage parts catalogue, is seen as a key component of this strategic move. It might also be a smart move to offer official Nismo aftermarket parts and kits to help the company raise Nismo’s profile. So, while a Caravan Nismo kit seems odd and funny, it might just be a smart money move.
