Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti's Executive Design Director, took an all new Infiniti Q60 - the first U.S.A-spec car registered in Cuba in 58 years - to Havana to trace his roots back to his parents' birthplace.
Alfonso grew up in Miami but is now based in Japan, where he oversees all four Infiniti design studios across the world. This was his first opportunity to visit Cuba and see the curves of the mid-century modern architecture of his great-uncle Max Borges-Recio, including the Tropicana, Club Nautico, as well as Borges-Recio's own home.
In the process, Alfonso may have also found the origins of his own design DNA that is expressed in the unique flowing lines of current Infiniti vehicles.
