Create Your Own Masterpiece: Infiniti’s Q50 Red Sport 400 SEMA Build

Infiniti is setting the stage ablaze at the SEMA Show with its custom-crafted Q50 Red Sport 400, a spectacle of what a touch of modification can do. This one-off model is not just for show; Infiniti is extending an invitation to enthusiasts to craft their own versions using official Infiniti Motorsport Parts.

The SEMA star, Q50 Red Sport 400, now rides on stylish 19-inch NISMO LM-RS1 forged alloy wheels, available in a palette of colors including black, anthracite, and bronze. The exterior is further enhanced with an eye-popping wrap and prominent badging, making it a head-turner.

Inside, the modifications are subtle but significant. The sole change is a carbon fiber steering wheel finisher, a $704 accessory that injects a sense of excitement within the cabin.

Under the bonnet, the Q50 sees more extensive modifications. It now houses a cold-air intake, an upgraded heat exchanger, and a cat-back exhaust embellished with laser-etched Infiniti logos. The exhaust note is described as “exhilarating.” Furthermore, an auxiliary intercooler tank and a billet-aluminum coolant expansion tank have been installed, the latter boasting a 70% higher capacity compared to the factory setup.

The heart of this custom build remains the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. Although there's a hint of Mobil 1 0w-20 advanced full synthetic motor oil use, Infiniti has not revealed if these modifications have amped up the stock output of 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.

Braking performance is enhanced with Infiniti Performance Street brake pads, and the suspension has been meticulously upgraded with parts from Infiniti Performance, ensuring a ride as thrilling as its appearance.

The beauty of this project is that it's replicable. Infiniti Motorsport Parts are available online or through dealers, allowing enthusiasts to embark on their own customization journey without voiding the vehicle’s warranty.
