Showcased in black colour, this car has now been reworked with a lot of black accents throughout its body. The fleet of these accents includes a dark black radiator grille with chrome plates, outlining on headlights, fog light surrounds, side air vents, lower side sills, roof rails and tailgate. All these elements were previously wrapped in chrome or tinted chrome but now they have got an all new black colour. Further to complement the all-black appearance, it is anchored with six-spoke 21-inch wheels (20-inch for GT) which are given a gloss black tone. These huge rims have got a red 'S' emblem embossed on it and are surrounded by tyres measuring 265/45. Overall the dimensions of this car come to 4865 mm x 1925 mm x 1680 mm (l x w x h).

The black tone of the exterior has been carried over to its interior as well with an all-black cabin. Infiniti's signature purple colour is reflected on its stitching which can be found on the steering wheel, door handles, door cards, gear gaiter, armrests and leather seats as well. This stitching was previously seen in bronze colour but with this sportier version, purple threads have been used. Talking about the features, it has got a dual zone automatic temperature control system with cooling vents in centre console, front sun visors with vanity mirror, 10-way power driver's seat, 11-speaker Bose stereo system and an 8-inch touchscreen.

Under the hood, it is powered by a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine with the continuously variable valve timing control system (CVTCS) and variable valve event and lift (VVEL) which helps to improve the fuel efficiency. This power mill can churn out a maximum power of 320 hp at 7000 rpm along with a peak torque of 360 Nm at 5200 rpm. It is able to complete a 0-100 kmph sprint in just 6.8 seconds along with a top speed of 235 kmph. Thanks to its CVTCS and VVEL system, it can deliver a mileage of 9.9 km/l. This car is rolled out with a price tag of RM470,000 (on-the-road without insurance).
