Infiniti executives think that its brand new London design studio will help it create models that appeal to customers purchasing some of Britain’s most exclusive vehicles.

Infiniti will begin production of a new Mercedes-Benz designed 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine in the United States this month, to power a version of the Q50 sedan for European markets.
Infiniti named former Ford executive Francois Goupil de Bouille as head of its European operations to succeed Fintan Knight, who Infiniti said had “elected to pursue interests outside of the company.”
Knight, a former Audi and BMW executive, had been in the post for less than a year. He joined Infiniti on May 1, 2013 from Lamborghini, where he was head of sales and marketing.

Infiniti named industry veteran Francois Bancon as its product strategy head.
