There are many theories about the Infiniti logo. Some say that an inverted V represents Mount Fuji in Japan, showing the origin of Infiniti. While oval represents success and growth. But according to the company, an oval represents performance, and an inverted V represents an infinite road. Togather, V and oval represent endless possibilities and opportunities which motivate the brand.
In the mid-1980s, Nissan created a secret team known as the “Horizon Task Force”, with the purpose of researching and then launching a luxury brand that can compete with existing brands of that time. The task force researched and ultimately Nissan started the Infiniti brand.
Infiniti differentiates itself from the other car brands by manufacturing powerful and luxury cars. Infiniti cars are famous for safety, connectivity and driver comfort. Its major competitors are the German trio (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) and other Japanese luxury brands.
