Nissan officially launched the most powerful Patrol NISMO to date and debuted the latest Nissan Z NISMO at a regional event in Dubai, reinforcing its commitment to high-performance vehicles in the Middle East. Over 250 guests, including customers, partners, and motoring enthusiasts, attended the event.
The launch spotlighted Nissan’s NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International) brand, which merges motorsport engineering with road-going usability. Alongside the vehicle unveilings, Nissan introduced the Red Ring Society, a new community for NISMO owners and motorsport fans across the region.
Specifically tuned for Middle Eastern markets, the all-new Nissan Patrol NISMO features a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivering 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Sport mode—70 horsepower more than the standard Patrol. Performance upgrades include a NISMO-tuned suspension system, race-inspired aerodynamics with a larger rear spoiler, and 22-inch forged alloy wheels developed with RAYS.
Exterior enhancements include red-accented bodywork, a Formula-E-style rear fog lamp, and an extended aerodynamic profile. The interior features a black-and-red theme with leather and suede upholstery, red contrast stitching, carbon fiber-style elements, red seat belts, and aluminum pedals.
Like the Z NISMO, the Patrol NISMO features signature red NISMO styling cues, including the red “O” in the NISMO badge and red lower body streaks. Customers can select from five exterior colors—White Pearl, Gray Metallic, Blue Metallic, Black Pearl, and a NISMO-exclusive Stealth Gray—with dual-tone options available.
To further differentiate the Patrol NISMO from the regular Patrol, the seats are designed for improved support, using honeycomb stitching that mirrors the grille pattern. Signature touches such as embroidered NISMO logos, a red start/stop button, and detailed trim elevate the overall experience.
Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President and President of Nissan Middle East, said the launch responds to increasing demand for performance vehicles and reflects the brand’s longstanding racing heritage. “This deep-rooted legacy allows us to deliver thrilling, confidence-inspiring driving experiences,” he said.
Satoshi Komiya, Vice President of Nissan Motorsports & Customizing Co., added that the new models are tailored to regional tastes and aim to blend performance with everyday usability.
The Nissan Patrol NISMO is now available through Nissan’s authorized dealerships in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern markets. The Nissan Z NISMO is initially available in the UAE, with additional markets to follow.
