Infiniti revealed a pair of concept QX80 SUVs at the 2025 edition of The Quail to show off some possible variants of the brand's largest crossover.
The QX80 Terrain Spec concept features more rugged styling, a raised suspension, and all-terrain tires.
The QX80 Track Spec concept features a more aggressive look and a tweaked twin-turbocharged V-6 with more than 650 horsepower.
Infiniti's biggest SUV is the QX80, and the posh three-row was just redesigned for the 2025 model year with an increased focus on luxury. Now, the brand is rolling out some special concept versions at 2025's The Quail during Monterey Car Week to explore what else the QX80 can do, starting with the Track Spec and Terrain Spec concepts.
Track Spec: Hmm
A Track Spec concept is certainly surprising for an SUV this size. We've driven the new QX80, and it's not a sporty thing. The concept looks the part, with quad exhaust pipes, a rear diffuser, and big 24-inch wheels.
Infiniti says they've upgraded the performance too, with a revised twin-turbocharging system for the QX80's V-6 that raises horsepower above the 650 mark and boosts torque to over 750 pound-feet. Larger front Brembo brakes have also been added to help slow the QX80 Track Spec down.
Terrain Spec Is a Good Look
The Terrain Spec concept looks badass and aligns more with the QX80's stout SUV platform. A raised suspension and unique wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires provide more capability than the standard model, and adventurous add-ons such as fender flares, a side-exit exhaust, and a roof-mounted light bar complete the look.
A rooftop tent is also included, which seems to insinuate that the QX80 Terrain Spec is destined for overlanding duty. That's a far cry from the paved parking lot of the Napa Valley Four Seasons, the luxury hotel where Infiniti hosted the first drive event for the redesigned QX80 last year.
Whether or not either of these concepts will make it to production as a special edition of the QX80 remains to be seen, but given that Nissan just launched a NISMO version of the Armada SUV—a corporate twin to the Infiniti—it does seem possible that a hotted-up version could be in the works for real.
