Nissan Brings Z Nismo and Patrol Nismo to UAE Roads
Nissan has launched two new performance-focused models in the UAE: the Z Nismo and Patrol Nismo. Each model targets different driving needs while carrying Nismo’s motorsport DNA. Before we dive into a detailed look at both vehicles, let’s talk a bit about Nismo.
Nismo
Nismo, short for Nissan Motorsport, is the brand’s performance division. It develops high-performance versions of Nissan models with enhanced power, handling, and design. Nismo cars often feature race-inspired upgrades, unique styling, and track-tuned components.
The Z Nismo and Patrol Nismo both reflect this motorsport-focused engineering for road use.
Nissan Z Nismo: Track Performance in a Compact Coupe
The Nissan Z Nismo features a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine making 420 hp and 520 Nm of torque. It uses a nine-speed automatic gearbox tuned for faster shifts. Nismo-specific enhancements include stiffer suspension, aerodynamic tweaks, and upgraded brakes for improved track performance.
It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.5 seconds. Nissan has included large 15” brake rotors, retuned power steering, and exclusive 19-inch RAYS wheels wrapped in Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX tires.
Nissan Z Nismo Interior and Technology
Inside, the Z Nismo includes Recaro sport seats finished in leather and Alcantara with red contrast stitching. These seats offer better lateral support for spirited driving. A unique Nismo steering wheel features a red marker and Alcantara wrap.
Comfort remains practical with dual-zone climate control and a driver-focused layout. The 12.3-inch digital cluster features a special Nismo display with performance data. The 9.0-inch touchscreen includes navigation and NissanConnect Services.
