Behind the reveal: See how we debuted the 2025 INFINITI QX80 100 stories above Manhattan

A reveal unlike any other – for a vehicle unlike any other – required innovation, brilliance, teamwork and a little luck

original INFINITI revealed its all-new 2025 INFINITI QX80 at Edge in Hudson Yards, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. Getting the full-size luxury SUV onto Edge took 40 days, 4,300 man hours and nearly 100 elevator trips to execute. The stakes were high. And this reveal was a feat like no other. The solution? Disassemble the vehicle into thousands of pieces, remove the engine and fuel systems and precision-cut it into modular pieces – then reassemble the all-new QX80. It also required reverse-engineering the electrical system to power the interior, including seats, lighting and the Klipsch audio system. Oh, and make everything small enough to fit into the elevators and hallways. The end product was so well-executed, even INFINITI’s head designer couldn’t tell the QX80 had been taken apart.
