Among the first vehicles to debut in Detroit this auto show season is the Infiniti Q60 Concept, an elegant interpretation of the brand's design language shown as a concept preceding an eventual addition to the lineup.
The Q60 Concept does its best imitation of a scaled-down version of the Q80 Inspiration concept car that was previewed at last year's Paris auto show. It serves as a potential, two-door complement to the techy Q50 sedan, but looks far more elegant, inside and out. A long, wide stance gives the Q60 Concept presence from all angles, while the sumptuous interior features leather with diamond stitching and a full array of technology features. Although Infiniti bills this model as a concept car, it looks nearly close to production-ready.
Aside from being an entirely new model—replacing the current Q60 coupe, the G37 coupe in a former life—the Q60 Concept features bespoke elements not seen in other Infinitis yet. Under the hood is a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6, originally shown in the Q80 Inspiration, which is confirmed for production in future models.
The Q60 Concept is painted in a shade that Infiniti calls "Arctic Aluminum," which has all the sheen and gleam of chrome. It's rather fascinating execution, up close.
Not yet. The Q60 Concept is just that, although we expect a version to hit showrooms in the near future.
