Rolle, Switzerland – Infiniti has been delivering exceptional sound systems in its cars for more than a quarter of a century thanks to a pioneering collaboration with audio partner, Bose. Now, Infiniti can announce the next phase of its audio collaboration: the Infiniti Q50 Sound Studio by Bose.

Sound Studio by Bose is a bespoke audio version for Q50, Infiniti’s sports saloon acclaimed for its innovations, such as Direct Adaptive Steering, the world’s first electronic steering system.

The ultimate music lovers’ version of the car combines several state-of-the-art features to offer an unrivalled listening experience for driver and passengers alike. Moreover, by coupling the standard Bose Surround Sound system with the latest DAB receiver even digital radio broadcasts can be enjoyed with the full power and richness of Bose technology.

As the first car to feature Bose’s Advanced Staging Technology, Q50 benefits from sophisticated digital signal processing circuitry and delivers a highly precise and natural sound. This Bose innovation creates the impression of a concert hall’s wide ‘sound stage’ for a captivating ‘front row seat’ listening experience. Fourteen strategically-placed speakers deliver powerful surround-sound depth and fidelity to the Q50’s occupants wherever they sit in the car.

Q50 Sound Studio by Bose also features Centerpoint® 2 Surround Technology, enabling both driver and passengers to enjoy an emotional listening experience with captivating 360-degree surround-sound from any stereo source including DAB radio.

The listening experience is enhanced further by advanced Bose systems operating automatically behind-the-scenes.  Active Sound Management Technology, for example, reduces unwanted powertrain noise, while also enhancing desirable engine sounds. Bose AudioPilot®2 Noise Compensation Technology constantly monitors and adjusts music levels to compensate for vehicle speed and the effects of unwanted external sound intrusions.

Pioneering audio is nothing new for Infiniti and Bose. They have been working together to combat the many technical challenges of delivering premium audio quality in a car since 1989. Because audio work starts at the inception of each new model’s development, innovative technical solutions are engineered into the car from the start.

Sound Studio by Bose with DAB radio includes navigation and is part of the extensive technology fitted as standard to the limited edition Infiniti Q50 models. Available in either the most popular Premium or Sport versions of the Q50, the Sound Studio by Bose model already comes fully equipped with a wide range of luxury, safety and convenience features.

The Infiniti Q50 Sound Studio by Bose is available in limited edition from October 2015. A choice of two powertrains is offered – a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with 211 PS and 350 Nm of torque, and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel with 170 PS and 400 Nm of torque. Prices for the petrol version start at £34,090, diesel versions are available from £32,390.

AN ICON REDEFINED: THE NEW INFINITI QX70 ULTIMATE

• ‘The best of QX70’ in one exceptional new model: the QX70 Ultimate
• More expressive and exclusive than ever
• Sales begin after debut at Frankfurt International Motor Show
• Prices from £52,280 OTR

Rolle, Switzerland – Everything that owners love most about the design and performance of Infiniti’s statement-making QX70 is distilled into a new version – the new QX70 Ultimate, to have its premiere at the Frankfurt International Motor Show.

The QX70 is well established as Infiniti’s SUV design icon and the Ultimate offering ramps up the appeal to make it the most desirable QX70 yet – a car with the heart and soul of a sports coupe yet the ability to fit effortlessly into the most active and demanding of people’s lives.

‘The QX70 has long struck a chord with buyers seeking something exceptional but the Infiniti QX70 Ultimate is designed to respond to the most exclusive needs and desires of buyers,’ said François Goupil de Bouillé, Vice President of Infiniti Europe,  Middle East and Africa.

As well as adopting the best features, technologies and craftsmanship of QX70 the Ultimate delivers subtle front and rear design changes, including a new front splitter and rear diffuser with integrated fog light.

New dark chrome trim front and rear emphasises a technical look that enhances the signature and highly expressive QX70 style. New 21-inch anthracite alloy wheels further distinguish the Ultimate model, while new daytime running lights give it even more road presence.

The Ultimate’s interior sets the car apart in equally dramatic fashion. The mood here is shiny black lacquer finishes, purple stitching, soft leather – and all the room, luxury and convenience for which the QX70 is already famous.

For the Ultimate version, the ultimate high performance/high efficiency engines are fitted: either a potent 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine or a refined and torquey 3.0-litre V6 diesel. Both are mated to a 7-speed adaptive shift automatic transmission with gearshift paddles on the steering wheel. The paddles are for when driving fun takes over….which with sports car-like weight distribution and an intelligent torque-sensing all-wheel drive system it will do, and often. The QX70 Ultimate delivers agility and response however demanding the roads, ensuring a drive every bit as dynamic as the design.

Brimming with personality and technology, the new QX70 Ultimate epitomises the qualities at the heart of the burgeoning Infiniti range in Europe. Sales in Western Europe and Russia begin after the QX70 Ultimate makes its public debut, at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) on September 15 2015, with prices starting from £52,430 OTR for the petrol version and from £52,280 OTR for the diesel version.
