The outside has been given the in-house tuning brand’s signature blue-gray paint job with red accents on the borders of the grille, down around the lower edges, on the side mirrors and more. In fact, even the engine gets Nismo’s signature red highlights.
That styling also extends to the interior, although the blue-gray is swapped for black (but the red is still all over the cockpit). Other details include 22-inch Nismo Rays forged-alloy wheels and performance tires and performance seats.
Altogether, this Nismo version may be the best-looking Armada ever. But that’s only half the story.
These are the voyages of the starship Armada
The most important and exciting change in the Nismo-tuned Armada is under the hood. After all, it wouldn’t be a true Nismo if it didn’t have a performance-tuned engine.
As such, it boasts a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 powerplant that’s good for 460 horsepower (up from 415) and 516 foot-pounds of torque. It also gets a retuned exhaust for a burlier growl.
