Infiniti Flagaship Sedan 700 HP

lux · 03-19-2014, 08:26 PM

Infiniti might be planning to build a hybird four door to compete with a Porsche Panamera. It could have up to 700 HP combined with a V6 twin turbo and electric motors. Design cues could come from the Infiiniti Essence Concept. It would also make use of the GT-R's famous ATTESA AWD system.

Infiniti/Nissan really does have the formula down pat. The GTR drivetrain is a solid platform that anything from a super car to a truck can be built on. Reliable TT-V6, rear wheel biased awd system and quite honestly, some of the best looks in the business (obviously controversial). It's just taking them a hell of a long time to put it into a production form and it is causing people to lose interest escpecially when they have the same 3.7L V6 engine in every single car except for a gas guzzling V8 in two of them. Also, why spend so much money renaming the entire brand, there was absolutely no need for that. It really just confuses me.

The VR38 is a monster of a platform. I agree with you, I can't believe it has taken them this long to expand its use.

I agree, Nissan should have built a 4 door GT-R long ago. Another model using similar parts could have helped offset the R&D and production costs.

Nissan--If you build it, they will come.

And they are going to name it Q100? Or Q700?

Stupid Audi guy is the reason they redid the names. Worse blunder than Lincoln and the MKcrap.

VW sucks.
