Infiniti is working on a new flagship model that will sit above today’s V8-powered M56 as part of what the firm describes as a “massive product offensive.”
The new car will be powered by a forced induction V6 producing in excess of 550bhp. The engine could be as small as three litres – Infiniti boss Johan de Nysschen, explaining the firm’s recent decision to change the way it badges its cars, said the car would have to be called M30 “following our current naming logic.” He described the new model as a “high-tech performance flagship.”
With all of Infiniti’s cars to be badged as Q, and all the SUVs badged as QX, the new car could be badged as a range-topping version of the forthcoming Q70, the replacement for the current M.
