Infiniti Q30
The Infiniti Q30 is a new type of premium compact vehicle for a new type of consumer. Representing Infiniti’s first global entry into the fast-growing premium compact segment, the Q30 will play an important role in helping the company realise its plans for global growth.
Q30 makes a daring visual statement through its sculpted, concept-car exterior, unconventional stance and asymmetric cabin design. The car has been engineered to exacting standards to deliver a driving experience that is unmistakably Infiniti.
The development teams behind the Q30 have taken a holistic approach to its engineering, presenting a car that offers exceptional ride and handling. It feels comfortable yet ‘ready to go anywhere’ thanks to the versatile dimensions, confident dynamics and intuitive technologies.
The Q30 launches in the Middle East in the second quarter of 2016 and will be available with 1.6L or 2.0L Turbo in a 2WD configuration. The 2.0L Turbo will also be offered with an optional AWD drivetrain.
Infiniti Q60 Concept
The Infiniti Q60 Concept, is an original and bold reinterpretation of an elegant lifestyle 2+2 coupe. Infiniti designers wanted to create a sports car that is power and performance personified. They gave the Q60 Concept taut lines, razor-sharp edges, and strikingly deep recesses in the body sides – culminating in a potent road presence.
The Q60 Concept's sleek and aerodynamic design is anchored by its deep double arch grille, whose elaborate waved mesh pattern gives it a three-dimensional quality.
From the grille, the flowing character lines rise and merge into the headlamps, drawing attention to the intelligent LED lights. The same refinement on the outside extends into the smallest detail on the inside, evoking a premium atmosphere with three-dimensional textures and meticulous craftsmanship.
The Q60 will be produced globally in 2016 and will be offered with the next-generation 3.0-liter V6 engine with direct injection and twin-turbocharging.
Infiniti Q80 Inspiration
Initially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2014, the design language of the Infiniti Q80 Inspiration forms the design DNA blueprint for Infiniti’s existing and future models.
On the Q80 Inspiration concept, the organic and three-dimensional grille functions much like the pulsing gills of a cruising shark, opening and closing to control air flow into the engine. Infiniti’s hallmark headlight takes after the human eye, with the horizontal lighting signature intersecting across a third of the projector, giving the headlamp a stare that is both inviting and intense simultaneously.
Another design feature special to Infiniti is the crescent cut C-pillar, which draws creatively from the first or last phases of the moon when only a sliver is visible. It has also evolved from a stylistic flourish to become an integral part of the vehicle structure.
