  • Infiniti Q60 Concept Takes After Q80 Inspiration and Q50 Eau Rouge [VIDEO]

    Voila! Infiniti gave us a full preview of its 2016 Q60 Concept so we could finally see what to expect.

    Under the hood, there is said to be a newly created V6 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine that takes advantage of a direct injection that is able to produce a hell-of-performance. According to the manufacturer, this power unit is part of an innovatively smaller, lighter and more efficient range of engines.

    The new Infiniti Concept car shows pronounced wheel arches which add a rugged touch to the overall masculine look. Being 4690 mm (184.6 inches) long, 1865 mm (73.4 inches) wide and 1370 mm (53.9 inches) high and in combination with the “razor-sharp edges and strikingly deep recesses”, the vehicle seems to be lower than it actually is.

    Still though, there are repercussions of the line curves of the Q80 Inspiration and Q50 Eau Rouge. The sleek and highly elegant Infiniti Q60 inherited the Inspiration’s low roofline, intelligent headlamps and stylish leather seats. From the Eau Rouge, the two-seater drew the Formula One-inspired lower intake and exhaust pipes.

    “The Q60 Concept has the emotion and sculpting of the Q80 Inspiration. At the same time, it adopts the performance aspects of the Q50 Eau Rouge, which is immediately associated with Infiniti performance and the science and sport of Formula One racing,” explained Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director.

    The assertive look of the car is also found inside where the car arrives with premium components featuring a leather-wrapped two-toned black and white instrument panel and door inserts. There is also a double hand-stitched leather steering wheel. Using a variety of leathers to cover the seats, Infiniti manages to not only complement the car’s exhilarating individuality but also offers the best comfort possible.

    Obviously the culminating sense of artistry is everywhere when it comes to the 2016 Infiniti Q60 Concept!

  • Infiniti Reveals Q60 Concept

    Infiniti takes the wraps off its Q60 Concept ahead of the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. What we are presented with is definitely a stunning coupe which shines with genuine sportiness and style. The combination between edgy exterior contours, well-crafted handmade interior and excellent performance characteristics results in “a no-compromise fusion of looks and speed.”

    Even though Infiniti Q60 Concept fumes with significant freshness and newness, it somehow points back to the bespoke Infiniti Q80 Inspiration that was revealed in October at the Paris Motor Show. The resemblance is evident in the finest details and craftsmanship of the exterior, especially when we examine the sides of the car. The curved and somewhat sweeping lines underline the sporty personalities of both vehicles.

    On the outside, the acute lines of the concept are further complimented by low roofline as well as custom 21-inch wheels. The black spokes in a combination of mattes and chromes are inspired by jet turbine blades. They stretch to the edge of the wheel and put emphasis on the style of the coupe. Inside, the Q60 Concept benefits from elegant high-quality leather seats which are inherited from the full-size Q80 Inspiration. The hand-stitched leather and carbon fiber accents speak for ultimate workmanship which defines the distinctive design of the Q60.

    Infiniti Q60 Concept can be seen when Infiniti holds its 2015 NAIAS press conference at 8:10am on Tuesday, January 13th.

  • Infiniti Offers First Glimpse of Q60 Concept

    Infiniti-Q60-Concept-THUMInfiniti is rolling out one teaser after the other. The company has released an image of the future Vision GranTurismo Concept in the beginning of the week. It is today that Infiniti gives us an intriguing first look at the premium sports coupe concept called Q60 Concept. The car is scheduled to be on display at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, which will begin in January the 12th.

    The teaser shows only the sides of the car, emphasizing its muscular lines. The silhouette of the Q60 Concept is pure and features well-defined contours. In addition, it seems that the overall proportions speak of a performance coupe.

    The same impression leave the full-sized wheels placed out at the corners of Q60. Some parts of the car, especially towards the rear, strongly resemble the Q80 Inspiration. The latter was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October.

    Q80 Inspiration is powered by a downsized twin turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 and a hybrid electric engine. The total output is 550 hp (404 kW). Despite this, the car is still capable of returning 5.5L/100km (42.8 mpg) and 129g/km of CO2 emissions. We are wondering what powertrain we are to see in the Q60?

    Going back on the current topic, the Q60 is the latest concept builds on the language seen on recent Infiniti concept cars. With it Infiniti absolutely clearly states its future visual philosophy and the design consistency which is to be a key ingredient of products in the future Infiniti line-up.
