The all-new Patrol NISMO and Z NISMO launched in the Middle East
Nissan is celebrating more than four decades of Nissan Motorsports International Co., Ltd. (NISMO). Since its founding in 1984, NISMO has served as the brand’s dedicated motorsports and performance arm, bridging the gap between factory racing dominance and high-performance road vehicles.
This legacy continues to expand with a specific focus on the Middle East following the regional launch of the all-new Patrol NISMO and Z NISMO in less than a year ago.
Technology
In September 1984, NISMO was founded in Omori, Tokyo, born from the merger of Nissan’s Advertising Division in Omori and the Special Car Testing Division in Oppama. “The technology developed through motorsports needs to be fed back into production cars,” noted Yasuharu Namba, the brand’s first President.
Twin turbocharged
Currently, the all-new Nissan Patrol NISMO leads the NISMO road car lineup with a potent 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that builds on the brand’s renowned GT-R engineering expertise. Launched in the Middle East in 2025 as the most powerful Patrol, it produces nearly 500hp of power and 700Nm of torque in Sport Mode, along with optimized aerodynamics and a dedicated NISMO tuned suspension.
“With the all-new Patrol NISMO and Z NISMO, we are proud to continue delivering performance vehicles that are not only inspired by the racetrack but engineered specifically for Middle Eastern roads and driving expectations,” commented Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President, President Middle East, KSA, CIS–Nissan, INFINITI.
