Infiniti’s four-cylinder VC-Turbo engine first appeared in the new QX50 SUV and is capable of delivering V6 petrol levels of performance with the efficiency of four-cylinder diesel, according to the brand. It does this by continuously adapting the engine’s compression ratio – how far the pistons travel in the engine. 

Its appearance in the Q inspiration shows the brand’s commitment to the technology, according to the company.
Infiniti bosses have also said the premium saloon segment has become ‘rather conservative’, so the Q inspiration is their answer to injecting a little a lot more excitement into the segment. The stubby bonnet and elongated cabin are created to maximize interior space, while coupe-like rear end and glass canopy indicates the concept does away with the conventional saloon three-box design. 
A large grille flanked by strip LED headlamps dominates the front end, while the concept features much smoother surfacing than that seen on today’s Infinitis. Rear-hinged rear doors and the absence of a b-pillar has been created to makes access much easier for passengers.

The Q inspiration can seat four passengers inside, with each given their own floating touchscreen infotainment system. This allows passengers to enjoy a film, read the news or kick back individually without distracting other occupants. As the VC-Turbo engine is relatively compact, space inside is a lot more comparable to that of a large executive saloon, says Infiniti.
A leather centre console runs the length of the cabin, while the dash is made up exclusively of digital displays. Infiniti also says that the design gives us a additionally look at what the interior of future models could look like.

Finally, a raft of pro PILOT autonomous driving technologies have also been adopted from parent company Nissan; the concept is able to independently drive on the motorway and manage discuss junctions.
