Infiniti QX80 With 600 HP Will Kick Off a New ‘Red Sport’ Performance Push: Report

Infiniti is preparing a 600‑horsepower version of its flagship QX80, branded as a Red Sport package slated for a spring 2027 launch. The upgrade will boost the current 450‑hp twin‑turbo V6 to roughly 600 hp while adding red brake calipers, a red “S” badge and optional 24‑inch wheels. Weighing about 6,200 pounds, the QX80 remains a full‑size luxury SUV, but the power bump positions it as a serious performance contender. Executives describe the move as a first step in a broader performance‑luxury push, not a full‑blown track spec model.
