Infiniti’s latest concept hints at a flagship sedan with some really impressive technology and design.

Called the Q80 Inspiration Concept, this car uses a twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain to deliver 550-hp to all four wheels. Unlike other motors in the company’s portfolio, this engine is aluminum based and all new, part of a new engine lineup that will be introduced over the next few years.

This big flagship sedan is just a bit shorter than the Mercedes S-Class and offers back-seat passengers a true taste of luxury. Inside you’ll find Alcantara and horse-hair, while drivers will have a new smart adaptive cruise control that can suggest appropriate overtaking opportunities.
