Nissan has revealed a Nismo version of the Patrol and it's interesting to say the least. What does everyone think about what Nissan/Nismo have done? I like the interior upgrades they made but I don't know about the body kit.

5.6-liter V8
428 horsepower
413 pound-feet (560 Newton-meters) of torque
Bilstein suspension
22-inch wheels
LED fog light similar to a F1 car
Aggressive body kit

2022 Nissan Patrol Nismo Revealed With 428 Horsepower And F1 Fog Light

Nissan has given the Patrol Nismo a facelift mirroring the changes the regular Patrol got in 2019. It looks far more aggressive than the standard model.

I know it's kind of silly, but I also kind of love it.

Interior is beautiful.
The styling is a bit much, but I like that. I've seen some really crazy versions of the Lexus LX for sale recently that are along these lines. I'll see if I can find one.

I respect Nismo for doing stuff like this still. Especially with how Nissan has been financially.

I'd be curious to see how those LX's compare to this.

I'd be all over the new USDM Armada if they'd just release a Pro-4X version.
The latest Armada is very nice!

If I were buying the Patrol (Infiniti QX80 here in the US), I suppose I’d want it to have as much power and handle and brake as well as possible, so the Nismo version makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is driving a massive, overweight SUV in a the aggressive manner implied by its Nismo pkg. I hope to see in the future is a true successor to the first new car I ever owned, a 1990 Sentra SE-R. Perhaps a Nismo version of THAT car would actually sell in large numbers and satisfy a need for affordable performance in which Subaru and Honda seem to dominate. Modify the Sentra to accommodate the Altima’s/Infiniti’s turbo four and you’d have a winner. Just don’t forget to make a manual transmission an option. The QX80 is a rolling anachronism that won’t exist past the end of this decade - if that long - so get ‘em while you still can.
