Infiniti has not updated its Q60 sport coupe in many years, so the unveiling it has planned for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit is an important one.
The luxury Japanese automaker intends to preview a new version of its sport coupe that will come to market in the next year or two, in the form of the aptly named Q60 Concept.
The concept car's design and features also reflect changes ahead for other new Infiniti models. It has ornate styling, with hardly any flat surfaces or straight lines, showcasing an esthetic Infiniti says will be applied across its lineup in the future.
In addition, the Q60 Concept's new twin-turbocharged V6 will spawn a family of engines more powerful and more efficient than the six-cylinder engines that Infiniti uses now.
The concept car is similar in size to the current Infiniti Q60. Though slightly longer and lower, the Q60 Concept is exactly the same width as its namesake.
The Infiniti Q60 sport coupe competes with the Audi A5, BMW 4 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, among others. All three of those German cars have had major redesigns in the past year.
More details on the Q60 Concept will be available following the press preview days of the Detroit auto show. The show is open to the public January 17 through 25.
