Ahead of the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Infiniti has released a revealing image with the Q60 concept.
The appealing concept is poised to entice coupe fans with its sharp contours and hand-crafted interior, while at the same time suggesting performance and power to match. The audaciously low roofline and quilted leather seats remind one of the elegant Q80 Inspiration, while the aerodynamic gills behind the front wheel arches are inherited from the Q50 Eau Rouge sports sedan concept.
The visual excitement in the edgy lines of the concept is set off by the custom 21-inch wheels which take up the entire wheel arch. Inspired by jet turbine blades, the black spokes in a combination of mattes and chrome stretch to the edge of the wheel, further emphasizing how “planted” the coupe is.
The high-quality ambience inside speaks of Infiniti’s meticulous attention to detail, clearly evident from the impeccable hand-stitched leather to the precise treatment of the carbon fiber accents.
Infiniti designers use a variety of leathers on the seats to provide just the perfect balance of comfort and support as befits a premium sports coupe. They also make the Q60 concept a genuine “2+2” coupe by giving rear passengers more legroom through the use of genuine sport seats.
As a foreshadowing of the next generation of Infiniti’s premium sports coupe, the Q60 concept makes use of taut lines and sports car cues to convey exceptional stance and presence.
The production Q60 will enter the assembly line in 2015 in the UK. It will also be produced in Mexico starting 2017.
