Q Inspiration Concept
The next step in INFINITI design. Enrich your driving experience with VC-Turbo, the future of ProPILOT drive assist technologies, and a unique, crafted, human-centric interior.
Never choose between power and efficiency. The world’s first VC-Turbo will internally adjust to give you maximum response or maximum fuel economy. Two personalities. One engine.
The Q Inspiration with future generations of ProPILOT will give you the freedom to release control and take it back, so you can focus on the best parts of driving.
Simplicity Redefined
The Q Inspiration was named the “Best Concept Vehicle" and awarded "Best Designed Interior” by the annual EyesOn Design Awards at the 2018 North American International Auto Show.
All Eyes On Design
The EyesOn Design Awards are the officially sanctioned design awards for the Detroit Auto Show. Considered the validation of great automobile design from industry leaders, it honors the best production and concept vehicles making their world debut at the show.
From the “quiet beauty in its exterior and interior” to an appearance that’s “simplicity reduced,” the Q Inspiration was praised by the judges — who consisted of more than 30 active and retired design heads of automotive manufacturers as well as transportation design chairs from top art schools.
The Q Inspiration concept is a glimpse into INFINITI’s future. This convergence of design and technology represents our progressive inner spirit and will inform the next generation of INFINITI vehicles.
Hidden side exhausts streamline the vehicle’s profile.
The new, 3D-textured front grill has added subtle colour variation.

- Karim Habib, Executive Design Director

“While we have plans to electrify our product portfolio in the future, drivers all around the world are still reliant on internal combustion engines for their transport needs. this new engine not only complies with every emissions standard currently in effect around the world, it also offers a compelling blend of turbocharged performance and high efficiency, challenging the notion that these qualities are unique to hybrid power.”
- François Bancon, Vice President, Product and Programs.
