First, the bad news: it won't be coming stateside. Not now and likely not ever. But if you happen to be a resident of Dubai or other surrounding Middle Eastern countries, then you're in luck. Presenting the Patrol Nismo. Based on the Nissan Patrol, a huge seller in the Middle East and sold in the US as the Infiniti QX80 (formerly QX), it was handed over to Nismo for them to apply their usual badassity; it's now more powerful than the QX80. That's the good news.

Power comes from a 5.5-liter V8 that cranks out 428 hp instead of 400. Torque output is also more effective across 70 percent of the rev range.

Aside from the familiar Nismo badges and white, black and red trim colors, the full-size SUV features a new aero body kit, 22-inch forged alloy wheels, a Nismo-tuned suspension complete with Bilstein shock absorbers for better ride and handling, a Takumi-tuned engine, and sport power-tuned steering. The interior comes with plenty of Nismo trimmings throughout. OK, so it's not exactly a high-performance SUV, but the effort is clearly there. Too bad it'll never arrive stateside, even if it is badged as an Infiniti. In other words, ISIS has a better chance at snagging one than Americans do.
