Nissan Patrol Nismo revealed as the SUVs fastest version ever

Planning to get a Nissan Patrol but its current performance is just not enough yet or you just want something more sporty? Well this might be the perfect Patrol for you.

Just over a week after photos of it were leaked online, the new Nissan Patrol Nismo has formally been unveiled in the Middle East and it’s now the most powerful version of the Japanese automaker’s largest and flagship offering in the global market.

Powering this beast of an SUV is still a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine which has been retuned to produce 495 horsepower, an improvement of 70 horsepower versus the regular Patrol, with the same 700Nm of torque.

Underneath is a Nismo-tuned suspension, while very visible are its exterior enhancements which are designed to improve aerodynamics from the aggressive red-accented body kit, to the imposing and large front grille.

It also gets an extended rear spoiler, larger nine-spoke 22-inch RAYS alloy wheels, a Formula-E-inspired rear fog lamp, Nismo badging, and additional red accents all around.

The interior has also been given the red treatmeant with two-tone black and red leather seat upholstery with a honeycomb pattern, the Nismo logo embroidered on the headrests, a red push start/stop button, red-accented climate vents, and a slightly redesigned steering wheel with an on-center marker and red stitching

The new Nissan Patrol Nismo will initially be available in Middle Eastern markets, with the United States following after with a first-ever Armada Nismo. As for the Philippines, we don’t know, but why not?
