My respect for Nissan will go way up if they actually build this beast.

But they still need to put a proper transmission in the Maxima...

More competition for BMW, and its Beautiful!

They claim they will go into production with this Infinity ive always liked some of there cars, but this would take them to a whole new level.
568 HP Twin Turbo V6, Sub 4 seconds 0-60, and im loven the looks of the car.

I liked the concept even though I'm not too fond of Q50's styling. Toned down GT-R with premium interior is always welcome, but I agree that it'd need M3 pricing to be competitive.

Not necessarily! Think of how the 2-door variants from AMG or ///M are always more $$$ than their 4 door stable mates.

If Infiniti could bring this car in @ $60-$70k which is what I bet they will, it will go head to head with: ///M3, RS4, AMG C Class.

But it will crush them all in stats! Size wise it is smaller than a E63 or ///M5

Looks maybe, almost a little too rice for me. But 570 hp? That's nuts. If it's ~80k, wow, hard to over look. Would be great competition.

The HP, engine design and the numbers i like, but the bodystyle looks to much Japanese like a Lexus !
And that because it's actualy Japanese !

Ummm yeah, has the motorsport history of an M3 as well. If you wanna go fast from a to b, there's plenty of options out there probably cheaper than the M3. I'm hardly seeing this as a viable alternative to any M3 enthusiast.

No way this car, with a GT-R engine (and assuming more luxury), would undercut the GT-R by 30-40k.

"0-60 in under 4 seconds" translation... 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. That's far off from a GTR and probably very heavy. Sounds more like E92 DCT M3 competition

That is humorous, this car will be priced on M5 level.

I mean, they do have the GTR engineers on tap if you think about it. Sure it's not Motorsport, but unfortunately the GTR is a fierce competitor to all sport car companies. I would not be amazed if this concept does turn out to be a fierce competitor as did the GTR

And I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic about the "motorsport history", what about F1 racing where they have dominated for a couple of years in a row.

Simply saying i don't see where a true M3 enthusiast would get excited about a car like that. Not in the slightest.

There's being an enthusiast and then there's blind badge loyalty.

Call it whatever you want. I've owned 6 M3's for a reason...not blind badge loyalty. I won't be replacing my M3 with an infinity anytime soon. When and if BMW stops making a product i like and enjoy, then perhaps...

I bought a 911TT in the middle there somewhere and sold it after 8 months, so blind loyalty nothing...

Concept cars....
1. Never happen. If they do, they look ugly compared to the concept. I will believe it when I see it.
2. However, if it does look like that, I am sure it will be way overpriced.
