Wallpaper New Infiniti Q50: Live Pics and Video from Detroit Show; What Do You Think About it Now?
The premium sports sedan segment is a hotly contested one, especially in the U.S. market. Infiniti’s novel contender in the class is the all-new Q50 that makes its debut at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show.
On the design front, the G37 replacement's key features are the new “double arch” grille and “crescent-cut” C-pillar, both of which were first seen in the Essence concept that was displayed at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show. It also sports a side “character” line that integrates seamlessly with the LED taillights, narrower, roll-formed A- and B-pillars that provide easier access to the interior.
“The Infiniti Q50 reflects the direct influence of the concepts known as the ‘Infiniti Trilogy’, particularly the Essence”, while honoring the iconic design dynamics of earlier Infiniti sports sedans”, said chief designer Shiro Nakamura. “The new Q50’s athletic and tightened appearance blends its lower and wider proportions with enhanced interior roominess to stunning effect inside and out.”
The Q50 is 4,783 mm (188.3 in) long, 1,824 mm (71.8 in) wide and 1,443 mm (56.8 in) tall and features a 2,850 mm (112.2 in) wheelbase. According to Infiniti, its aerodynamic drag coefficient (Cd) is just 0.26 and it has zero lift on both front and rear axles.
