Christian Meunier, Chairman Nissan Americas, confirmed in Yokohama that the new Nissan Skyline will be marketed in the U.S. as the Infiniti Q50 when it arrives in 2027.
Nissan teased retro GT‑R–inspired styling — round LED taillights, Skyline badging on rear fenders, and horizontal headlights with vertical daytime running lights — and Tiago Castro, Senior Vice President of U.S. Marketing and Sales of Nissan and Infiniti, said the sedan will be "high-horsepower" with a manual transmission option.
Reports suggest the Q50 could use the twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter V6 from the Nissan Z, targeting about 400 horsepower, and may adopt the Z's six‑speed manual, though final powertrain details were not confirmed. Infiniti will otherwise concentrate on SUVs, with the QX65 set to launch imminently and additional SUV models planned over the next five years.
