Nissan Confirms New Skyline and Infiniti V6 Sport Sedan Plans

The move signals a heritage-led reset for Nissan's performance image.

Overview

  • Nissan, which announced the news Tuesday in Yokohama, confirmed a new Skyline for Japan and released teaser images of a sedan with round taillights.
  • Executives also said Infiniti will add a performance-focused V6 sport sedan to its future lineup, though the model name and launch timing were not disclosed.
  • The teasers highlight retro cues such as circular rear lights that recall classic Skylines and the GT-R, pointing to a design that leans on brand heritage.
  • Key specs remain unannounced, and reports of a twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter V6 and a possible manual gearbox are unconfirmed and based on prior media and dealer chatter.
  • Past Skylines were sold in the U.S. as the Infiniti G35/G37 and later Q50, and Nissan now labels the Skyline a “heartbeat” model that shapes brand identity rather than sales volume.
