Infiniti delays its 600-plus-hp QX80 performance SUV.
It'll get handling, brake, and styling upgrades—not just more power.
The model will help launch Infiniti's new performance sub-brand.
Infiniti has not offered a performance-branded model since the Q50 Red Sport 400 was discontinued following the 2024 model year. Before that, the Japanese luxury brand had not attempted to create a performance division since IPL (Infiniti Performance Line), which only lasted from 2010 to 2015.
Now, Infiniti is currently working on a new performance line that would rival BMW M and Mercedes-AMG with a whole host of models. But according to Automotive News, one of the first products to wear the new name has already been delayed.
