Overview

• Automotive News reports the sedan will return as a model badged Q50S with a target launch in late 2027.
• People familiar with the vehicle say it will switch back to rear-wheel drive and offer a manual transmission.
• Infiniti showed dealers a video of a low-slung profile with Skyline-style circular taillights, and an executive called the redesign “unapologetic and unexpected.”
• Coverage points to the VR30 twin-turbo V6 used in the Nissan Z at roughly 400 horsepower, with a Red Sport variant under consideration.
• Claims of outputs exceeding 450 horsepower are unconfirmed, and the car is positioned as a niche halo effort for a lineup that recently dropped sedans.
