Toyota’s legacy as a purveyor of high-performance internal combustion engines is a cornerstone of its brand identity. While the company’s pioneering role in hybrid technology is undeniable, its entry into the fully electric market has been met with some challenges.

While many automakers have been aggressively developing all-electric vehicle models, Toyota has been taking it slow. Despite being the pioneer of the model first synonymous with hybrid-electrics – the Prius – Toyota has barely dipped a toe in the EV market, releasing just one model in North America, the bZ4X. Instead the Japanese automaker has focused on what it refers to on its website as “the power of choice.” This adds hybrids, plug-in hybrids, fuel cell EVs and, of course, traditional internal combustion options.

Infiniti has confirmed that the aging Q50 sedan is dead. First introduced in 2013, the Q50 replaced the G35, which shared a platform with the Nissan 350Z and, by extension, today's Nissan Z. As such, it came to be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 delivering 300-400 horsepower to either the rear axle or all four wheels in later incarnations. A hybrid version was once available, and a hardcore Q50 Eau Rouge was briefly considered for production with many R35 Nissan GT-R bits, including its outstanding engine.
