Red Bull F1 team helping Infiniti IPL line

Infiniti needs a flagship sports car if it is to survive.

Right now, Infiniti is barely even a competitor to BMW/Audi/Mercedes. They need to change that, and they need to change that very quickly. I think they could easily topple Lexus if they got the right guys in the decision-making room, but taking on BMW and Audi is going to take some serious legwork.

Don't think of an Infiniti flagship sports car as competing with the GT-R. Think of it as competing against the SLS AMG, the LF-A, and the R8 GT. The GT-R is more of a Porsche/M3 fighter. It doesn't have the luxury flair that the Infiniti will have when it shows up.

Infiniti has been able to rival BMW performance since 2008???
