We know a new Ford Mustang Bullitt is coming. Now we have a good idea as to when it will arrive. Automotive News (subscription required) has learned from its sources the car will debut on January 15 at the opening of the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Infiniti is well aware of the need to fill the void left by the Q45. The brand attempted this with the Q80 Inspiration concept unveiled at the 2014 Paris auto show, and though the coupe-like show car never made it to production it at least showed us that Infiniti was prepared to take a more radical approach to its...
