So, let’s find out more and see what made this vehicle stand out from the crowd, shall we?

    2019 Infiniti QX Crossover

    Let’s start from the appearance of the QX50. This vehicle is simply beautiful. In fact, as any other Infiniti machine. It features these well-known elegant curves, confident stance and this well-known muscular presence. In terms of interior buyers and enthusiasts should expect this very same luxurious interior space, geared with tons of handy gadgets.

    2019 Infiniti QX Crossover

    And now the interesting part – the drivetrain system. QX is built on a revised platform that features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive system and enhanced rigidity. It is powered by VC-Turbo system, which makes the QX50 the first vehicle to offer an engine that transforms on demand. Or, with simple words, the crossover can immediately become powerful and agile and can also change character and deliver smooth and comfortable ride. Flexibility is what differs good vehicles from the exceptional ones.

  • INFINITI takes honorable prize home. Details here!

    INFINITI’s VC-Turbo variable compression power unit gets Grand Austrian Automobile Award in the category “Environment” given by Automobile, Motor and Bicycle Association of Austria (ARBÖ). Honored for setting new standards and new benchmark in the field of efficiency and technology, INFINITI was also recognized as the star of the show.

    The experts of the automobile club have also honored the premium automobile brand for introducing the world the first production-ready engine with variable compression. This time the organization decided to undertake a different approach towards awards and showcased INFINITI’s latest project as one of the boldest at the moment.

    As it comes to the system itself, INFINITI’s specialists have worked about 20 years in order to deliver us the VC-Turbo unit. There were more than one hundred prototypes, but thanks to the recently discovered multi-link system the engine really shined. It is able to adapt the travel of the piston’s stroke and delivers a compression ratio between 8:1 and 14:1.

    These numbers result on something else: the power output of this V6 and its efficiency are much closer to a diesel engine, rather to a petrol one. In fact, the 2.0-liter unit delivers a total of 268hp (200kW) and 390Nm of torque. Massive, isn’t it? But the best part is that it consumption and efficiency rates are super close to the V6 gasoline power units. How cool is that?

  • INFINITI shows VC-T system this September. Should we be hyped?

    2016 INFINITI QX50INFINITI team will try to tweak the world of inner combustion engines

    INFINITI team will presents the Variable Compression-Turbocharged power unit at the 2016 Paris Motor Show on September 29. What is interesting about this thing is that the engineering team claims that there have been decades of researches and experiments before finally get satisfying results. Incredible, right?

    The VC-T technology is expected to mark a new chapter in the making of internal combustion power units: what it does is to remove the fixed compression ratio. The innovation lies in the ability to transform and raise and lower the height of the pistons reach. Technically (and at this moment theoretically) this means that the compression ratio can vary between 8:1 (for more aggressive driving) and 14:1 (for smoother and more efficient ride). At the moment, what is known is that all the changes will be done automatically: depending on the road situation and driver’s on-road character.

    SEE ALSO: A reward for INIFINITI’s passionate team: check it out!

    We do expect that the VC-T technology would deliver numerous benefits to buyers as reducing fuel consumption, emissions, noise and vibrations. It does sound as ridiculous advertisement, doesn’t it? The whole system will also be lighter and more compact, compared to classic engine types. Okay, now it sounds as one.

    INFINITI VC-T

    Basically, it is good to hear that new and unconventional stuff is being made. But we have all heard numerous bombastic news already that turned out to be some stupid attention-seeking, but who knows? After all we talk about INFINITI: this brand has proven worthy over the years..

  • What happens when you give Infiniti QX80 the Missuro tuning pack? The result is unexpected [w/video]

    Larte Design Infiniti QX80 Missuro front viewIf you have an Infiniti QX80 and you think you need an individual touch, the Missuro tuning pack by Larte Design is probably the best choice to make. After applying it, the results are unexpectedly good and in fact the car looks amazing and very stylish. Another interesting detail is that the QX80 Missuro made huge furor at the Russian Podolsk, and it is currently making noise at the Moscow Tuning Show. So if you are in the vicinity you can see it this weekend at the event.

    Although not many tuning studios provide even good quality pictures of their work, the specialists at Larte Design not only have given us (and you respectively) more than enough images to praise (see the gallery below), but also have made an exclusive video for the pack, which is featured at the end of this article. So enjoy!

    The Missuro Chronicles

    Missuro is the name of just one of the four amazing tuning kits for the Infinti QX80 that Larte Design has developed so far. It gives the SUV a dynamic stance, determined posture and go-anywhere spirit.

    When added, the styling pack actually changes the front and rear fascias and adds new wheels as well as three-mode LED lighting and a new exhaust system. It doesn’t do anything to the output or the interior, but still it is extremely impressive. What we see at the front are the additional vents above the headlights. They are not only serving aesthetical purposes, but also provide additional cooling for the engine compartment.

    In addition, LED lighting under the headlights is multifunctional and can be used as daytime running lights, parking lights and turn indicators. The radiator grille is also in-house made and one-off.

    At the back, there is a high performance exhaust system. It can be fitted with driver-operated electronic sound control valve and is completed by polished stainless steel tips. At last but not least, the experts added huge 24-inch three-piece modular wheels with forged centers. Behind the rims we see a powerful braking system from Rotora with 8-piston calipers, massive ventilated rotors high-performance pads and braided stainless steel brake hoses.

  • Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo can be yours today an here’s how [w/video]

    Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo front viewInfiniti has finally lifted the virtual veil of the Concept Vision Gran Turismo: a car intended to be driven by those who have a Play Station and playing the Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) game. The model will be available for download from today and it envisions an Infiniti car from the future. Hopefully – not the very distant one.

    The high performance concept vehicle was created through an intimate work with the creators of the famous car-game. If you remember, the project has stated initially with an ambitious global Infiniti Design competition, which set the rule to “design the pure Infiniti GT car.”

    The best model was the winning one and it was created by company’s design team in Beijing. As we can see it features the characteristic design of the bran, a powerful shape, sensual and audacious surfaces and a lot of performance spirit.

    SEE ALSO: Infiniti Lifts the Covers Off: Concept Vision Gran Turismo is Here [VIDEO] 

    The process of the design began with the making of hand sketching, which were then refined digitally, and the refined by hand sculpting. The last step was the final digital refinement. In addition, the people in the project were so involved that they made thorough examinations and calculations of technical features like the aerodynamics and engine performance.

    Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo front view second image

    It was estimated that the front mid-ship/trans-axle powertrain enables 45:55 front/rear weight balance. In terms of aerodynamics, the under-floor airflow control, front and back diffusers, and uniquely shaped rear spoiler allow this concept to show higher performance.

    So if you are one of those lucky to have the GT6, you can now download the concept vehicle and discover that performance first-hand. In addition, if you own (virtually) the GT6, you will be among the first the test drive it on world famous tracks across the globe. Enjoy!
