Invader N40 (Nissan Patrol)
The long-awaited new project from INVADER Technologies, has finally seen light at the latest of the biannual Dubai Motor Show, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre on November 10-14.
N40 is a full customization package for the latest model of Nissan Patrol, the equally legendary rival of Toyota Land Cruiser. The Package consists of a wide body kit, with completely restyled front, which includes INVADER signature LED lights, carbon fiber detailing and the newest addition: blackened headlights. The latest INVADER modification also comes complete with exhaust system, 22” forged multi-piece wheels and, of course, the refined interior with carbon fiber, highest-grade leather and alcantara finishing. As always, the interior can be customized according to the customer’s needs and desires.
Our L60, the first product that INVADER Technologies came up with and which gained world recognition, was also presented in Dubai. The car, however, was not equipped with the INVADER Supercharger 600 bhp package as it is the first one of the new line for those kind customers who prefer to drive a little slower, so that everyone else will have a chance to appreciate the unforgettable look of the L60.
Being held on the same weekend as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the show attracted huge crowds and was a definite success of the N40 debut.
Dubai International Motor Show 2011
It’s almost that time of year again, when hype starts building for motor shows around the world (and especially in the middle east). And this year too, Invader is planning to be right in the middle of the action.
The first show that we’ve confirmed our spot at is the Dubai International Motor Show 2011. The show runs from November 10 to 14 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center. Please check their website for full information.
INVADER Dubai Showroom
INVADER Technologies has finally opened our long awaited showroom in Dubai. The showroom is located at a prime location for any automotive business in UAE – just before the Oasis Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Opening of the showroom has become possible thanks to our cooperation with the Desert Cedar – a local company, very experienced in luxury car sales in the Gulf and with a very impressive client base. We are happy to advise everyone that besides the showroom, maintenance of INVADER cars has also now become available for those who live and drive our cars in Dubai and elsewhere in the Middle East.
If you are in Dubai, or are planning to visit – drop by, take a look and have a chat with our instantly likable showroom manager Chris, who sure knows how to talk people into buying cars! (just kidding!)
Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, between the 2nd and 3rd interchange.

Geneva Motorshow Report
February and March here at Invader Technologies were just as busy as the end of last year when we had our Middle East motorshow marathon in Oman, Saudi and Qatar. At the very end of February most of us moved to Geneva to make sure the L60 invasion of Europe went smoothly.
Not that we haven’t seen motorshows before, but Geneva is definitely something out of anyone’s league – running for two weeks it beats any other show by duration alone! But of course its not the length of the event that makes it outstanding, its everything else you can think of – the size, the quality, the number of exhibitors, the world premieres and of course the crowds! Every day more than sixty thousand people came to Palexpo to get in touch with the latest in the motor industry.
Being a car from another world in Europe, the L60 did cause quite a stir with the public and proved to attract attention unlike few others could.
The fact that the LX570 is not sold in Europe at all made most of the visitors wonder if our baby monster was a concept car (some even thought it was a Cayenne). But something tells us that the two weeks spent in Geneva helped us spread the word around and next time we go to Europe people would be saying “Ah! The Invader L60 guys!” instead of “Uh… Is this a Volkswagen?”
All in all we can say that Geneva show was something really worth visiting. We haven’t just introduced ourselves but also made a great many of new friends, which is always important.
While some of us were busy conquering Europe, the other part of the team took part in the annual Supercar Promenade show held in conjunction with the Dubai International Boat Show. Although it was only three days–as opposed to two weeks–it still proved to be very nice and even somewhat cozy “at home-ish” event.
Since we at Invader like to keep busy after taking a very short break, we are now working on the next important step – opening an official dealership in Moscow, Russia, to be able to finally cater to all those numerous inquiries from the Land of Snow and Troikas.
Keep tuned for more news to come!
Qatar Motor Show Report
During the last week of January, Invader took part in the first Qatar Motorshow, which was a truly historic event. Everything about the show was absolutely incredible – the venue, the participants, the crowds. Invader’s stand was constantly flooded with people and at times we literally couldn’t see the car through the visitors! Overall it was a huge success for organisers and for Invader – we made some really good friends in Doha and started up some really encouraging projects!
Motor Shows: Oman, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi
INVADER has almost finished the December motor show marathon – in a matter of just 2 weeks we visited 3 countries!
The L60′s December voyage started in Oman – with the Oman Motorshow 2010. Being one of the key events of the year in Muscat, the show was held at the Muscat International Exhibition Center. The Invader team was overwhelmed with the Omani hospitality, literally everyone was inviting us to take a tour around the country. After staying in Muscat for 5 days we left Oman with a bit of sadness – what a beautiful and friendly place it is! However, we made enough new friends and met enough prospective partners there to make sure we keep our connection with it in the future.
Next stop was the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – Riyadh. According to the organisers of the show, this year it attracted over 80,000 people, which seriously exceeded the expected numbers. We are very modest people, but something tells us that these figures were somehow influenced by our presence there. During the show at times it seemed that everyone in attendance was gathering at our stand alone, there was literally nowhere to stand! Overall, the Riyadh Motorshow was a great success. Invader is going back to the Kingdom once again this year to take part in the Jeddah Motorshow and conclude this year’s super-busy show program.
Abu Dhabi International Motorshow was the third event we took part in since the beginning of this month. It is also the biggest show we have participated in so far. Here for the first time we featured the L60 in a new color – beige, with golden rims. With black being the meanest looking, white being the sporty one, the beige is the one that looks perhaps most luxurious. We were honored to be visited by some of the top ranking people in the UAE and made some great new partnerships.

Dubai, 19 October, 2010 – Invader Technologies – the Japanese vehicle tuning company and car customiser – has celebrated the official Middle Eastern launch of the Invader L60 at Dubai’s The Meydan Hotel.
The launch – which took place on 19 October – saw leading journalists and media representatives taking the car through its paces on Dubai’s roads.
According to Invader Co-Founder and Managing Director, Takashi Tanii: “We’re proud to introduce the Invader L60 to the Middle Eastern press and public and we look forward to establishing a strong and prosperous relationship with the media, our agents, buyers and drivers alike.”
The Invader L60 – based on the Lexus LX570 – combines aggressive, primal tuning with Japanese engineering precision. The wide-body exterior boasts a 5.7L V8 engine powered up from the stock 383 to 600 horsepower with a specially crafted supercharger and carbon-tipped performance exhaust system.

Invader will only manufacture 100 of these top-of-the-range vehicles.
Talking about the Invader L60, Tanii said: “Invader Technologies offers unparalleled customisation options for the Lexus LX570 with our Lexus L60 tuning programme. With Invader’s extensive range of performance, utility and aesthetic upgrades, owners of this powerful vehicle are free as never before to personalise their ride.”
The Invader L60 has already been showcased at the Middle East Motor Tuning Show 2010 (MEMTS) in Sharjah, but will continue touring the region at the Motor Show Oman (1–4 December); the Riyadh Motor Show (5–9 December); the Abu Dhabi International Motor Show (7–11 December), the Saudi International Motor Show (26–30 December) and the Qatar Motor Show (26–29 January, 2011).
Finished: Sharjah Motor Show
Yesterday marked the final day of this year’s Middle East Motor Tuning Show in Sharjah, UAE.
Thank you very much to everyone who came to visit us and see our INVADER L60. As always, we were struck by just how deeply Middle East car enthusiasts know and appreciate their vehicles, which made their encouraging words for us all the more meaningful.
We got an excellent response from the show and are already very excited about our next appearance, which will be at the Motor Show 2010 Oman in Muscat.
