Press Release:
Feasting the senses: Infiniti Q80 Inspiration
- Infiniti unveils four-door concept that will lead to future model
- Q80 Inspiration embodies the invigorated Infiniti brand
- Fastback sedan showcases autonomy and powertrain technologies
HONG KONG / PARIS – The Paris Auto Show is fast approaching, and companies are jockeying for position in the eye of a media storm.
Infiniti presents Q80 Inspiration: Infiniti's vision of category-breaking, supreme luxurious driving – a top-of-the-line, four-seat fastback that rises above the crowd. It's an audacious and elegant step forward for Infiniti as a global player designed to shake up the status quo in the premium large four-door club – a no-compromise ambassador of driver-centric powertrain and onboard technologies.
At 15:30 local time on October 2 in Hall 5 of the Parc des Expositions de Versailles in Paris, Infiniti will introduce the progressive Q80 Inspiration to the media and provide a glimpse into its high-performance and efficient hybrid-electric powertrain implementation as well as additional technologies.
In profile, Infiniti Q80 Inspiration extends to 5052 millimeters (198.9 inches) with a long wheelbase of 3103 mm (122.2 in) framed by custom 22-inch five-dual-spoke lightweight alloys. It strikes an imposing stance with its width of 2027 mm (79.8 in) and height of 1350 mm (53.1 in).
"After showing Q30 Concept and Q50 Eau Rouge, Infiniti is eager to show the upper range of our portfolio expansion," said Infiniti Executive Design Director, Alfonso Albaisa. "In Q80 Inspiration, we wanted to capture that unforgettable feeling when you experience something important, something beautiful, something magnetic for the first time."
The Q80 Inspiration's expansive, edgy, sensual interpretation of the Infiniti brand really makes a statement. There are no side-door mirrors to break up the aesthetics of the unmistakable profile. The full roof length of the teardrop passenger greenhouse is accentuated by lightweight acoustic glass. And its doors open portal style, which allows the stunning cabin to be fully on display while driver and passengers step in and out with ease.
A concept as impactful as Q80 Inspiration is set to push boundaries in more ways than through the beauty of its attention-grabbing skin. The cabin is able to bring together the four occupants in a highly stylized and personalized ambiance of the highest quality. Carbon fiber, aluminum and leather surround those inside in spacious "1 + 1 + 1 + 1" seating.
Earmarked for an advanced adaptive suspension, the light and rigid chassis combines with the acoustic glass all around and additional sound deadening to promise a driving and ride experience among the very best.
A design and technological highlight to which Infiniti's four worldwide design studios will refer regularly in coming years, the Q80 Inspiration four-door fastback is to be taken as clear intent to have an entry into the newly defined premium fastback segment.

To me the Panamera is about the interior and the driving aspects (not a fan of the exterior).
Looking forward to seeing what the inside of the big Q is about.
Beating a dead horse: I just can't see how they expect to succeed with higher end cars when they are not able to support their brand (in terms of customer service) at the $35 to $55 K range.

Lex is correct,.
My point is that Infiniti has not addressed the Apps software problem and I have had my car over 13 months.
A real luxury brand would have put sufficient resources into getting the issue addressed and would have offered something to the owners to make up for the F up.
Infiniti has done neither.
Regarding dealer service, mine is ok. They provide am excellent hot breakfast but they don't seem to be able to reset the messages about service needed and tires after they completed an oil change and tire rotation.
Lexus always followed up my service calls to see if things are ok. Infiniti is too effin stupid to even get to that.
