The Nismo features a redesigned front fascia with a blacked out, full height grille that stretches from the bonnet down to the front splitter.
Red trim is used on the grille frame, front splitter, side skirts, wing mirror caps, D-pillar garnish, and rear diffuser.
On the inside, the centre of the front seats is clad in red leather, while the main section of the dashboard has been retrimmed with faux suede.
The V6T badge on the door indicates it will be powered by a twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6. In standard models this engine produces 317kW and 700Nm.
If the previous generation ‘Y62’ Patrol Nismo is anything to go by, the new version should have a few more horses to its name. It’s possible the Nismo could use the uprated 335kW version of the engine that’s employed by the Infiniti QX80, the Patrol’s twin-under-the-skin.
The previous Petrol Nismo also featured unique alloy wheels, and retuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers for a sportier drive.
Although the ‘Y63’ Patrol was unveiled in September 2024, it is currently only produced in left-hand drive for the crucial Middle East market, as well as North America, where it’s sold as the Armada.
Standard versions of the new Patrol (above) will land Down Under during the second half of 2026, with Australia gaining the honour of being the “first right-hand drive market” to receive the new generation model.
