Overview
- Infiniti set an Oct. 27 unveiling for the QX80 R‑Spec before its public showing at SEMA, which opens Nov. 4 in Las Vegas.
- Teaser images highlight R‑Spec badging styled like GT‑R emblems, a lower ride height, and rear cutouts for a quad‑exit exhaust.
- Infiniti’s line that “the legend lives under the hood” has fueled reports of a possible GT‑R 3.8‑liter twin‑turbo V6 swap, though no powertrain is confirmed.
- The project is described by the brand and reporters as a one‑off show build rather than a preview of an imminent production model.
- The R‑Spec follows the summer’s QX80 Track Spec concept, which used an upgraded 3.5‑liter twin‑turbo V6 making more than 650 hp for a high‑output template.
