At a high-octane launch event in Dubai, Nissan set the stage for a new era of performance with the world premiere of the most powerful-ever Patrol NISMO, alongside the regional debut of the exhilarating Nissan Z NISMO. The event brought together over 250 guests, including customers, motorsport enthusiasts, and media, to celebrate Nissan’s legendary racing DNA and deep connection with Middle Eastern drivers.
The dual unveiling marked a pivotal moment for the brand’s NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International) line-up, reinforcing its commitment to creating emotionally charged, high-performance vehicles tailored for the region’s driving culture.
Unveiled with dramatic flair, the Patrol NISMO features a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine delivering a staggering 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque—an increase of 70 horsepower over the standard model. Enhanced with NISMO-tuned suspension, 22-inch RAYS-forged alloy wheels, and track-inspired aerodynamics, this flagship SUV blends raw performance with elevated refinement. Red accents, racing fog lamps, and a premium sport interior underscore its motorsport lineage.
Joining the performance spotlight was the new Nissan Z NISMO, boasting a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 pushing 420 horsepower and 520 Nm of torque. It’s tuned for agility, with GT-R-inspired aerodynamics, reinforced suspension, and signature NISMO design cues, delivering an unmistakable blend of style and speed.
The event also introduced the Red Ring Society, a first-of-its-kind regional community for NISMO owners and fans. Immersive heritage zones, full-scale installations, and a celebration of NISMO’s 40-year racing legacy brought Nissan’s “track to road” ethos to life.
“This launch is more than a product reveal,” said Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President, Nissan Middle East. “It’s a celebration of Nissan’s motorsport heritage and our promise to deliver thrilling, confidence-inspiring experiences.”
The all-new Patrol NISMO is now available across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and wider Middle East, while the Nissan Z NISMO is launching first in the UAE, with regional availability to follow.
With this launch, Nissan reaffirms its place not only on racetracks—but in the hearts of performance lovers across the region.
