The visual phenomena of viewing iridescence can be found in animals, insects, and precious minerals throughout nature. The rarest, and most valuable, forms can be found in black opal – whose miraculous color-changing nature has been captured by INFINITI designers in a limited-edition package set to be found on the 2023 INFINITI Q50 Red Sport 400. The new Black Opal Edition package will be extremely rare, with a limited number available nationwide.
Black Opal Metallic paint shimmers and shifts between blue, green and purple hues depending on lighting and viewing angle. The Q50 becomes even more eye-catching as it drives through any light source, changing colors from one moment to the next. Automotive enthusiasts will recognize the color-shifting hue as one of the most iconic and legendary paint colors from Japanese supercar history: Midnight Purple. The Q50 Black Opal Edition also finds satin black exterior logos and badges, with a spoiler constructed of exposed carbon fiber at the rear.
The 2023 INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 features a responsive, 3.0-liter VR-series twin-turbo V6 engine with an impressive 400 maximum horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, plus uprated brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers and Dynamic Digital Suspension. For 2023, Q50 includes the added benefit of the INFINITI Premium Care integrated maintenance program.
The Black Opal Edition package costs $2,2001 and is available for RED SPORT 400 models with either rear-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The 2023 Q50 RED SPORT 400 starts at $56,500.
