Few details have been released other than the shot of the grille, with the brand commenting that the concept will offer ‘style and substance that push any pre-conceived limits’.

It added that: ‘Soon, Infiniti will share a vision, its soul, on a scale not seen before from the company.’

The teaser comes as Infiniti announces the world premiere of the Q50L, the new long-wheelbase variant of its Q50 sports saloon, aimed at the Chinese market.

With a 48mm/1.9in longer wheelbase than the standard Q50, the Q50L provides more room and comfort for rear passengers. The Q50L is the first Infiniti model to be produced locally in China and debuts at the end of August at the Chengdu Motor Show.

Last month also saw the brand announce pricing for its new 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol Q50, which goes on sale in the autumn in the UK, priced from £31,755.
