JAKARTA - Nissan Patrol's latest generation was launched last September with a number of significant changes, including a refreshable exterior to enhanced power.
However, Nissan plans to present it in a high-performance version developed by Nismo's division with a more aggressive appearance and wild performance from its standards.
Nissan Motor's Senior Vice President Global Design, Alfonso Albaisa said that the Nismo version of the SUV appearance will have performances like other high-performance models and be in the development stage and are expected to launch next year.
"When you see the sketch, you will realize it is a wild animal," Albaisa was quoted as saying by Drive, Thursday, November 7.
He also added that his party could not guarantee whether Patrol Nismo would have attractive sound appeals like its predecessor with a V8 engine, given the SUV is equipped with a V6 engine.
"It's very clear that Patrol has greater power and torque, but it's undeniable that the big question of whether V6's voice will be able to thunder like V8," Albaisa added.
