New Infiniti Q50: Live Pics and Video from Detroit Show; What Do You Think About it Now?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 05:37 PM PST


The premium sports sedan segment is a hotly contested one, especially in the U.S. market. Infiniti's novel contender in the class is the all-new Q50 that makes its debut at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show.

On the design front, the G37 replacement's key features are the new "double arch" grille and "crescent-cut" C-pillar, both of which were first seen in the Essence concept that was displayed at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show. It also sports a side "character" line that integrates seamlessly with the LED taillights, narrower, roll-formed A- and B-pillars that provide easier access to the interior.

"The Infiniti Q50 reflects the direct influence of the concepts known as the 'Infiniti Trilogy', particularly the Essence", while honoring the iconic design dynamics of earlier Infiniti sports sedans", said chief designer Shiro Nakamura. "The new Q50's athletic and tightened appearance blends its lower and wider proportions with enhanced interior roominess to stunning effect inside and out."

The Q50 is 4,783 mm (188.3 in) long, 1,824 mm (71.8 in) wide and 1,443 mm (56.8 in) tall and features a 2,850 mm (112.2 in) wheelbase. According to Infiniti, its aerodynamic drag coefficient (Cd) is just 0.26 and it has zero lift on both front and rear axles.

Hyundai's HCD-14 Concept Hints at the Design of the 2014 Genesis Sedan

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 04:46 PM PST


Just hours after we posted the first official images of Hyundai's HCD-14 Genesis concept, the Korean automaker revealed extensive details about its large executive saloon study that premieres at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show.

The concept previews many of the design elements that we will see in the upcoming 2014 Genesis mid-size saloon as well as in other future Hyundai models.

Although its dominant feature is the five-bar brushed metal grille, the HCD-14 Genesis also boasts rear-hinged rear doors with a single brushed aluminum hinge articulating diagonally from the cutline making for easier passenger access to the cabin.

While these features may sound a bit overboard, bear in mind that this is a concept, so the rear-hinged doors and (we hope) the gaping grille, at least in this guise, won't make it into production.

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 03:26 PM PST


Tesla's second model after the Model S all-electric saloon will be the Model X crossover, which was on display at the automaker's stand at the Detroit Motor Show.

NAIAS 2013: VW's New Passat Performance Concept is Anything But That...

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 02:44 PM PST


When you hear the words "Performance Concept", you expect to see a high-powered model with looks to match its name, yet Volkswagen's U.S.-market Passat-based study doesn't satisfy in any of these aspects.

Sure, the German brand's new EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged produces an impressive output of 247-horses (250PS) for its displacement, but these days you can get a Honda Accord V6 with 278-horsepower – and the Japanese carmaker doesn't place a performance badge on it…

Porsche’s New 543HP Cayenne Turbo S Storms into the Detroit Motor Show

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 12:43 PM PST


An SUV that can mix it up with supercars, at least in a straight line is not exactly a novel idea. Nevertheless, as supercars get more powerful, so must said über-SUVs if they want to keep up.

Enter Porsche's world and the new Cayenne Turbo S. The flagship version of Stuttgart's luxury crossover that makes its world debut at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show packs an impressive 543HP (550PS) and 750Nm (553 lb-ft) under its bonnet thanks to the reworked twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 – that's 49HP (50PS) and 50Nm (37 lb-ft) more than the "regular" Turbo.
