View Photos of the QX80 Terrain Spec and Track Spec Concepts
A pair of concept QX80s shown at the 2025 edition of The Quail highlight the SUV's varying capabilities.
Infiniti is giving its QX80 SUV a little juice with a pair of concepts showcasing its capability.
The first is the Terrain Spec concept, which rides on a raised suspension and all-terrain tires.
It also features fender flares and a rooftop tent.
The large light-up bar on the roof also signals that it means serious adventuring business.
The Track Spec concept seems more of a stretch for this full-size luxury SUV.
But Infiniti has blessed it with large 24-inch wheels and a rear diffuser for a more aggressive look.
But the Track Spec concept isn't just an appearance thing.
A revised twin-turbocharging system for the V-6 engine has boosted horsepower to above 650 horsepower and raised torque to over 750 pound-feet.
To help slow the QX80 Track Spec's mass, a set of larger Brembo front brakes have also been installed.
The Terrain Spec concept seems more on brand with the QX80's SUV bones, but both concepts are pretty cool.
We aren't sure either one will make it to production, but given that Nissan just released a NISMO version of the Armada (an SUV that's related to the QX80), anything is possible.
