There is a lot of conflicting information coming out
of Nissan about the possibility of a super sedan , but the latest news says
that the project is a go, and we’re hoping that this time it’s correct. All of
this talk got started by the 2014 Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge concept, essentially
a 2014 Infiniti Q50 with the drivetrain out of the 2014 Nissan GT-R . It seems
like a simple enough idea that could make for an amazing car, which is why
everyone was shocked to learn that Nissan had allegedly shelved the project.
That news came from a former Nissan VP and seemed extremely reliable.
Super sedans are reasonably popular though, with
Porsche , Aston Martin and Lamborghini all joining the fray with longtime
contenders Mercedes-Benz , BMW and Audi . For Infiniti to stay out of the fight
seems counter intuitive, especially when you consider how much of the
engineering work has already been done. But the latest rumor suggests that when
the new GT-R debuts in 2018, a four-door version of the car will be debuting
alongside it wearing an Infiniti badge. This really makes a lot of sense, to
design a whole new generation of the car with the intention of building both
two-door and four-door varieties.
