Overview

  • Infiniti showed dealers a teaser in Las Vegas as Tiago Castro described the redesign as “unapologetic and unexpected.”
  • Reports say the sedan will return with rear-wheel drive and a six-speed manual using the Nissan Z’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 at roughly 400 horsepower.
  • Sources indicate a Red Sport variant is being considered, with potential tuning targets above 450 horsepower.
  • The model is expected to ride on the Japanese Nissan Skyline platform, with possible all-wheel-drive availability discussed but not confirmed.
  • Delivery is targeted for late 2027, marking a pivot from an earlier EV replacement plan, with specifics based on dealer briefings rather than a formal public announcement.
