- Awarded in "Automobile" category by a jury of 58 independent design experts
- Second iF Design Award for INFINITI in a row after Q80 Inspiration in 2016
HONG KONG – INFINITI has won the prestigious iF Design Award for the Q60 – a sports coupe that combines expressive design with exhilarating performance and dynamics.
The iF Design Award is one of the most important cross-industry product design prizes, with a jury made up of 58 independent design experts from around the world, representing a broad range of sectors. Submissions are judged on innovation, functionality and ergonomics, aesthetics and the sustainability of its production process and product attributes.
Awarded in iF Design's "Automobile" category, the Q60's powerful and bold design expresses a powerful elegance that is distinctively INFINITI. Complementing its design, the D-segment sports coupe's exhilarating performance is underpinned by its all-new 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine. Dynamic enhancements, including second-generation adaptive steering and an all-new digital suspension, result in a sports coupe that is designed and engineered to perform.
This is INFINITI's second iF Design Award in a row, following a "Professional Concept" product design award from iF for the Q80 Inspiration fastback sedan concept car in 2016.
The iF Design Awards is held annually by one of Germany's oldest design organizations, iF International Forum Design GmbH in Hannover. For the 2017 awards, the jury's independent design experts judged more than 5,500 entries, submitted from 59 countries around the world.
