Nissan has taken the wraps off a NISMO-prepared Patrol during a special event organized in Dubai, UAE. The unveiling coincides with the introduction of the NISMO performance brand in the Middle East where the 370Z NISMO and the GT-R NISMO will also be sold. It comes as a surprise that Nissan has decided to launch a sportier version of its large and heavy SUV, but they believe there is a market for a hotter Patrol tricked out by the firm's in-house performance division. Power comes from an evolution of the 5.6-liter V8 engine that now develops 428 bhp (319 kW) which makes it 28 bhp (21 kW) stronger than the standard configuration. There's no word about the torque figure just yet, but the stock engine has 412 lb-ft (560 Nm) and according to Nissan this beefier setup offers the entire torque across more than 70% of the rev range.

There's just one problem: the mountaintop eatery is already closed. Most automakers dip toes into all kinds of side projects. Bicycles are fairly common items, and of course there’s a plethora of various apparel options and bits of furniture for your home.

The facelifted Patrol finally gets its performance upgrade for Middle East buyers. Few vehicles in production today can boast about a 70-year legacy. The Nissan Patrol's humble beginnings stretch all the way back to 1951 in Japan, and these days it's available all around the world. In the States, we know it as the Nissan Armada but it's particularly popular in the Middle East where an amped-up Nismo version appeared back in 2015. Now, it's poised to reappear in facelifted guise at the end of March. A short teaser video from Nissan Middle East's YouTube channel confirms both the Nismo moniker and a debut date of March 31.
