INFINITI today unveiled the Vision Qe concept, a stunning preview of the brand’s electrified future.
The concept, revealed at an event alongside Tokyo Bay, embodies INFINITI’s evolved design language and sets the tone for its first all-electric sedan.
A canvas for INFINITI’s unique approach to Artistry in Motion
The INFINITI Vision Qe concept showcases the evolved design form “Artistry in Motion” in the all-electric era.
It blends artistic details with a single fluid design gesture that flows from front to rear. Its sleek, aerodynamic fastback profile exudes a sense of graceful motion.
Inspired modern Japanese luxury
In establishing the overarching direction for the Vision Qe concept, INFINITI’s global design team was inspired by three philosophies from Japan.
The team set out to create a distinctive design that elicits a sense of the extraordinary – or “Kabuku.” In executing its vision, the team sculpted a body that delivers a sense of speed, dynamism and movement – “Sho” – and embedded exquisite details that exude sophistication and purity – “Sui.”
The result is an evocative vision of INFINITI’s all-electric fastback sedan of the future.
The promise of performance
A gentle pressing along the bodyside combines with surfacing of the fenders to create an elegant yet muscular presence, hinting at the engaging all-electric drive a future production version will deliver.
“As we began to follow the inspiration around Artistry in Motion, we rediscovered the Japanese expression of “Sho,” an expression of soaring with grace and power. Our designers began creating forms that, to me, looked like abstractions of a bird in flight – powerful, almost motionless, but generating such speed,” said Alfonso Albaisa, senior vice president for Global Design. “The sleek, low profile paired with tapered, yet muscular, rear fenders expresses effortless motion and powerful purpose.”
Symbolism behind the colors
The INFINITI Vision Qe concept is finished in bespoke Shadow Blue paint, a deep blue base coat enriched with lustrous gold highlights. The color shifts as light and shadow dance across the surfaces, complementing the warm gold illumination.
The expressive combination of blue and gold hues parallels INFINITI’s recently refreshed visual identity, which is anchored around these two colors.
