When mentioning NISMO, a number of cars come to mind, including the venerable GT-R, the sporty 370Z or even the funky Juke. Until the Nissan Patrol NISMO came along, that is. No, really..

Unveiled in Dubai, this is perhaps the largest vehicle ever to receive NISMO’s enhancements. NISMO has bumped the power up of the 5.6-litre V8 by 28 hp, bringing the total figure to 428 hp. Torque output, according to Nissan, has also been improved across the RPM by 70%.

NISMO has ditched the original shocks, replacing them with Bilstein units. Elsewhere, body reinforcement done by NISMO has improved the Patrol’s steering response.

The exterior of the Nissan Patrol has also received a touch from NISMO, with the new Patrol NISMO featuring a NISMO aerokit all round and a set of 22-inch Rays forged alloy wheels. The interior gets a tinge of NISMO’s touch, include a red NISMO tachometer, white leather seats and an enhanced infotainment system.
