Infiniti unveils new iridescent paint job for limited edition Q50
From peacocks to butterflies to precious minerals, the iridescent color-changing effect is one of nature's most stunning visual phenomena. This is especially noticeable in opals, minerals formed from hydrated silica. One of the most striking - not to mention the rarest and most valuable - varieties is the black opal, which is most commonly found in New South Wales, Australia. But now, attentive drivers can see the multi-colored brilliance of this gem in the nearest INFINITI car dealership.
Infiniti Q50 RED SPORT 400 2023
The beautiful nature of the color-changing black opal has been captured by INFINITI designers and will soon grace the 2023 INFINITI Q50 Red Sport 400. Like the gem it's named after, the new Black Opal Edition Pack will be extremely rare and limited in quantity.
The packaging is adorned with a striking Black Opal Metallic lacquer that shimmers in blue, green and purple hues depending on the light and viewing angle. The unique paintwork makes the sports sedan even more attractive as it seems to change color depending on the moment. In addition, car enthusiasts will recognize the changing color as one of the most iconic and legendary paint colors in Japanese supercar history: Midnight Purple.
In addition to its iridescent look, the Q50 Black Opal Edition takes on sophistication with matte black logos and badges. At the rear of the car, an open carbon fiber spoiler adds an extra sporty touch, seamlessly complementing the Q50's exterior lines.
The 2023 INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 has high-end specs that back up its visual appeal. It is powered by a responsive VR-series 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine with an impressive 400 hp maximum output. In 2023, the Q50 includes the added benefits of the INFINITI Premium Care integrated service program.
The Black Opal Edition package costs $2,200 and is available on RED SPORT 400 models with rear-wheel drive or intelligent all-wheel drive. Pricing for the 2023 Q50 RED SPORT 400 starts at $56,500.
