Project Titan

"Project Titan" is an exciting adventure-driven reality web series, produced by Nissan Motors, in collaboration with the Nissan GT Academy in 2014. Leveraging on their successful GT Academy series, Nissan has created a unique adventure that combines the thrill of off-road driving with intense survival elements.

The show features Nissan’s remarkable innovation in the automotive industry, the Nissan Titan pickup truck, as the central character. The truck, or the "Project Titan," as it's called in the series, isn't an ordinary Nissan Titan. It’s a heavily modified version of Nissan's popular pickup that has been customized by Nissan as per the choices of the fans of the show across the globe. The result is a unique, fan-designed vehicle that becomes the ultimate off-road navigator and camping companion.

The customized Nissan Titan is brought to life in the dense wilderness of Alaska, highlighting its endurance in extreme circumstances. The scenic Alaskan wilderness serves as an elevated, real-world proving ground for the Titan, showcasing its capabilities and the extent to which it can be pushed by a pair of former soldiers who are the main cast in this series.

The central characters in this gripping series are two military veterans - an Iraqi war vet and a Wounded Warrior Project Alumnus, both of whom are alumni of the Nissan GT Academy. Their academy skills are put to the ultimate test as they navigate through the wilds of Alaska using only the "Project Titan." Each episode follows their dangerous and thrilling journey through Alaska's challenging terrain, highlighting the raw adventurous spirit of these two warriors and the breathtaking backdrop of Alaska's rugged landscapes.

Each episode is based on a ‘survival reality theme’, and it showcases the veterans using their military training and skills to overcome extreme, natural challenges while driving through the wilderness. They are seen using the versatile ‘Project Titan’ for different survival tasks ranging from fishing, hunting, and butchering to setting up a camp and traversing through unpaved, hilly terrains.

Also, the show underscores the veterans' personal stories, their daily struggles, and how they navigate through the challenges utilizing their skill set – portraying an inspiring tale of determination and personal strength.

The series does a commendable job of highlighting the technology and adaptability of the Nissan Titan. The trials faced in each episode seem to purposefully push the Titan's boundaries, showing off its robust durability, brilliant off-road capabilities, ground clearance for tough terrains, and the interior’s comfort and versatility.

The "Project Titan" truly shines as a rugged adventure vehicle challenged by Mother Nature's most dramatic playfield, Alaska. Its powerful performance, coupled with numerous survival tools installed on it, such as a camp tent, high-lift jacks, portable fridge, first-aid kit, fuel cans, water tanks, and winches, capture the beauty and functionality that a Nissan Titan truck possesses, thereby making it shine as the 'Star Vehicle' of the series.

On the flip side, the show also uses this journey to pay homage to the strength and resilience of the men and women in uniform. Through the heroic adventures of the two veterans, it beautifully ties in Nissan’s partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project, attributing Nissan’s support towards a community that has given so much for their nation.

“Project Titan” is not just a vehicle showcase or an adventure series but also an inspiring saga of personal resilience, team spirit, and survival. With the edge-of-your-seat thrill, memorable personal stories, and the intense, scenic beauty of Alaska, the show leaves a powerful impact on the viewers – making them admire the hardiness of Nissan's amazing 'Project Titan' and the indomitable spirit of the warriors who drive them. The series is a captivating blend of automotive technology, human endurance, adventure, and a stirring tribute to the veterans, making it a must-watch for car enthusiasts and adventure lovers alike.
