Spatially, it's pretty good six-plus footers can get cosy both in the front and back without having to contort. But there's room for improvement, when compared to its German rivals. There are plenty of soft, tough plastics all around to go with Samurai-armaments-inspired "Kacchu" aluminium on the dash. The luxurious, well-appointed cabin appears to be an iteration of the G37's. The intelligent key has an enhanced memory function that extends beyond seat settings. Get within proximity, and the door handles light up as you get closer, the interior lights come on and the ignition button pulsates like a Jaguar's. A deeper front lip and a larger rear spoiler, and maybe the number 400 inscribed somewhere? There isn't any badging either, except for the red S badge - and that's as inconspicuous as anything! Although nobody utilises all 400 horsepower or drives at 200 mph at any given time, a little more exclusivity in aesthetics wouldn't hurt. Some may argue that the car it replaced - the G35/37 - was better-looking I may be one of them. The 80's-inspired cluster itself seems out of place though.Īesthetically, the Q50 has few equals on the road today. A neat set of rims! The rising beltline conveys that sports coupe form and the red tail lamps have well-defined LED strips, mimicking the moon again. Keeping the car on the road is a set of staggered-width 19-inch alloys, in a gun metal finish that don't look too different from a race car's. The pulled-back headlamp clusters are adorned with a variety of light sources that are particularly voguish, thanks to the moon's crescent-inspired luminaries. From there seems to originate a lot of visual energy that creates bulges and creases everywhere. Up front, it's all about the signature Infiniti "double arch" generously splashed in chrome, wearing the Infiniti emblem like an ornament in the centre. But it is capable of drawing attention like few others in its class, thanks to fluid styling and intriguing crescent-like lighting fixtures. It's 4,800mm long, 1,820mm wide at the hips and stands 1,445mm tall. We take a closer look!įorget the badge for a moment: how is the car that wears the badge? Size-wise, nothing's changed. The brand has introduced two new models to the line-up - Red Sport 300 and Red Sport 400. Today, it is a full-grown brand with a singular identity that has a created a niche for itself in the local and global market, thanks to cars like the G35/37 sedan, now known as the Q50 - which is our car in focus today. Infiniti, the Japanese luxury car maker, has come a long way since the days of rebadged Nissans in 1989 and the years after.
