The Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400, known for its stylish yet aggressive design, has long been considered one of the most balanced performance sedans on the market. However, for those seeking to personalize and elevate their car’s appearance and performance, Infiniti is answering the call with a range of new accessories and parts designed for the sports sedan. These enhancements will be showcased alongside a customized Q50 during this year’s SEMA, catering to the desires of performance enthusiasts.
One of the standout features of this new package is a set of 19-inch wheels developed by Nissan Motorsport (Nismo) division. Crafted from forged aluminum alloys, these wheels draw inspiration from the world of motorsport. Customers can choose between Nismo center caps or Infiniti center caps, and they come in black, anthracite, or bronze semi-gloss finishes. The 9.5-inch wide wheels are compatible with both the standard Q50, Q60 models, and the sportier Red Sport 400 trims.
Beyond the striking exterior, the Q50’s performance gets an upgrade as well. The suspension sees improvements, including new front upper arms and rear traction rods, leading to enhanced cornering and handling capabilities. Stopping power receives a boost with the addition of Performance Street brake pads, housed within eye-catching red-painted brake calipers adorned with Infiniti logos.
Under the hood, several modifications enhance the vehicle’s performance. Notably, the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine gains a billet-aluminum coolant expansion tank, boasting 70 percent greater volume than the standard unit and a more appealing appearance. An auxiliary intercooler tank is introduced, providing an additional 1.7 gallons of coolant capacity. The package also includes a CARB-approved cold-air intake and an upgraded heat exchanger. While these enhancements ensure superior engine cooling and efficiency, there’s no mention of an increase in output, suggesting the V6 engine maintains its 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.
These performance and aesthetic enhancements are available from Infiniti for both new and existing vehicles. Infiniti plans to make these components accessible through its Infiniti Motorsport website, where Q50 and Q60 owners can find an array of parts and upgrades to amplify their driving experience.
