Concept as of right now, but I don't see why they wouldn't actually make this thing, as said, M/F/AMG fighter from Infiniti sounds like something Nissan should jump on.

[a social dsease]

Cool car! :drool: Really you could drop that engine in just about any chassis and it would be cool as heck :bigpimp:

[flipstah]

That's a nice paint job!

[Redlined_8000]

I like I like.

I wonder what kind of power they want to get. Also I am hoping pricing is in 80k area.

[benyl]

560 hp

Guess I should of read the article lol.


But wow. That looks like a awesome car.

Also 560hp... Hmmm maybe they are hinting at the next GTR power bump.

[Nismorphed]

I just came in my pants. This thing is perfect in my eyes.

[clem24]

Isn't the Q50 *THE MOST* nannied car in existence? Wheee steer by wire! :rolleyes:

Here's hoping a.) the build it and b.) make it a driver's car.

But on the flip side, the GT-R is really boring car, so I don't see how adding more weight to it would actually liven it.

[98type_r]

Build this one, Infiniti.

please.

[Skidro]

This car looks AMAZING!!!

[K3RMiTdot]

holy shit..

[msommers]

Looks good! Can't help but think...

Please tell us more about the GTR being boring? I'm sure you've driven one a lot?

Drove one in Vegas.. It drove and felt like a really fast Nissan.

[Sorath]

yup, gtr is a boring car :dunno:

[Redlined_8000]

C63 is way more boring than a GTR :dunno: How do you like them apples?

Boring is all a matter of opinion lol. Grow up people.

Just a hunch but given the relatively poor sales of the GTR it appears there is a price point to which wealthy buyers stop considering a Nissan. I don't believe there will be a lineup of people willing to spend what this car will cost on an Infinity product.

It's boring in a sense that it's fast and drama free.

[phreezee]

They put it in the Juke, so this Q50 will probably happen.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Looks pretty good to me. Infinity is known for excellent bang for the buck, so if this is $70K ish, that would be quite a bargain.

I think 70k is very optimistic. This is 560hp dont forget. I would not be surprised if its up around 90k to be honest. But yes that would be an amazing price.

[benyl]

Infiniti is a premium product. It has more horsepower than the base GTR.

This should be more expensive than the GTR.

[Canmorite]

LOVE the way this thing looks. With AWD it'll be an awesome car!

Ok I'm not gonna lie. The GTR is not a great daily. It drives way to drama free as said above. I'd have more fun driving an s2000 daily I'd think.

That said, when I see a free off ramp and I double click the left paddle, hammer the apex and blast out faster than basically any stock car in calgary (elevation yada yada yada), it becomes one of the most fun cars available.

Traction control in race allows some slippage, so it does over steer. If that's what fun entails. :devil:

uh. do you even daily drive your car? i Cant think of a more daily drivable supercar.

I expect this car to be 130+

No. I agree it's THE daily drivable supercar. What I was referring too is daily commutes and traffic. I'd have more fun in a lowered powered honda with a manual transmission I could abuse.

But when the roads clear up a bit it's GTR all day long.

I drive it daily in the summer

[Mibz]

I have no idea how anybody could enjoy commuting in an S2000.

I'm also glad I'm not one of those people that needs to get their car sideways to have fun. Taking a corner with no drama while my face is stuck to the window is fun to me :P

I have no GTR experience but my C63 is a blast to drive as fun as my Viper but without the constant fear of a rain related traffic fatality.

Project not just green lit but expect to be $100K with Nissan subsidizing lost on each one. So probably limited to 500 units.

I guess it depends how badly does Infiniti wants to play with the big boys.
