16 May 2013|5,669 views
The Q50 is the first in the new generation of Infiniti vehicles. It sets fresh benchmarks in the areas of emotive styling, advanced technology and performance.


Premiered at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, the Q50 is at the heart of Infiniti's bold new model lineup.
"Thanks to the skill and constant focus on performance improvement, Tochigi has a global reputation for producing top quality vehicles. Year after year, Tochigi sets the benchmark for manufacturing quality standards," Carlos Ghosn said.
De Nysschen added that the Q50 was the opening salvo in Infiniti's new product portfolio under the 'Q' naming structure which was launched in December last year.
"The first Infiniti in our new lineup had to reflect the brand's core values of seductive design, passionate attention to detail, precision in fit and finish, exhilarating performance and a provocative challenge to the status quo. The Q50 certainly does that. This is the first step in the launch of our exciting global expansion plan," he said.
Three-time Formula One World Champion, Sebastian Vettel, played an active role in the testing and evaluation programme of the Q50 in his capacity of Infiniti's Director of Performance.
The all new Infiniti Q50, which will go on sale in the summer, is available with a technologically advanced V6 3.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid and 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine.
