最近从日产和英菲尼迪传来一些坏消息——这两个品牌的多款车型将推迟发布。日产将集中精力开发大批量生产车型以提升日产和英菲尼迪品牌的市场占有率。至于日产IDx 和BladeGlider以及英菲尼迪Q50 Eau Rouge这些较为小众的产品则不会在近期投产。先前甚至有传言称Q50 Eau Rouge已经被砍掉，但现在看来，这款车至少会被推迟发布。这似乎有点让人难以理解，因为英菲尼迪此前一直在发布Q50 Eau Rouge的消息和图片。甚至表示原型车已经开发出来，而最终量产版售价预计将达到10万美元。而日产IDx概念车的量产版是Silvia后继车型，其定位是Z系列入门级车型。该车将搭载1.2升机械增压和1.6升涡轮增压引擎。这款车将于2017年底发布，随后还将推出Nismo版本。至于BladeGlider概念车，日产曾表示，该车将是目前操控性能最好的量产车，虽然日产曾表示有意量产这款车，但现在看来希望不大了。

 

Production of Nissan IDx, BladeGlider and Infiniti Eau Rouge concepts put on the back burner

Today we bring bad news from Nissan as the company has apparently decided to postpone indefinitely the launch of exciting niche models previewed by concepts.

 

According to Automotive News Europe, sources within Nissan have announced plans to focus on volume products to boost market share of both Nissan and its premium marque Infiniti. As a consequence, interesting concepts such as the IDx and BladeGlider along with Infiniti's Q50 Eau Rouge are unlikely to see the light of production day in the near future.

 

There were some rumors about the Q50 Eau Rouge getting the axe and now it seems the model has been pushed back indefinitely. This comes somewhat as a surprise taking into account Infiniti has been playing the teasing game for quite some time with this model, featuring the Q50 ER in a variety of clips and photos. In addition, the car actually evolved from concept to prototype status and Infiniti even said it will hit limited-run production with an estimated $100,000 price tag.

 

The Nissan IDx concept was supposed to preview a modern Silvia successor positioned as an entry-level Z sports car with supercharged 1.2-liter and turbocharged 1.6-liter engines. The car was believed to come out late 2017 and followed six months later by a Nismo variant.

 

As for the BladeGlider concept, Nissan said it has the potential to be "the best handling production car in the world" and the company expressed its intentions of actually selling the car but it seems that won't happen.
