Thank you Sam for this experience and opportunity. That Q50 RS400 is mine and this was a great way to see how the older 2017 Q50s can stack up against some of the best Korea has to offer. For some context: I have never drag raced in my life, so this was all new to me - clear in my RT and gear selection during the roll race. I really enjoy my Infiniti and I remain hopeful in the brand going forward. The VR30DDTT is a great engine and there is lots of room to modify - but that's not my thing personally. The regular 7-speed transmission is holds back a lot. I'd imagine with an ZF or decent DCT things would move a bit better. I love my Q and this will be a great momento for when my lease is up. Thanks to Hans, his brother, Kevin and of course Sam for this fun opportunity. Peace. JW
I love my Q as well. With very minor mods you can make close to 500 WHEEL hp. I agree I wish they would update the interior and the transmission. If they don’t update the car I’m not sure what my next vehicle will be. I really enjoy the Q though. I haven’t had any reliability problems in the 2 years I’ve had it.

@@jimwallace4164 Hi Jim, do you have a DAS Steering set-up on your vehicle? I have a base Q50 3.0 with the regular non-DAS steering set-up and it is great. I got rid of the stock V37 Q50/Q60 Dunlop run flats IMMEDIATELY. I felt those things hamper and hurt the car's performance so much especially handling and steering. Change it to something like Michelin Pilot Sport like some competitor like this G70 offers and is a day and night difference.

@@Mr.Lambert777 the 9 speed they have in the Frontier and Titan is actually from Mercedes. One of the perks of being in a partnership with them. They can realistically update it for 2022 if they wanted. It would help keep that archaic thing somewhat competitive. They really need a major refresh.

Thanks for doing this video. It gives me a new appreciation for my Infiniti. I've been leasing Infiniti's since 2009. This year I wanted a change. I considered the Acura RDX, TLX the Lexus ES 350 and the Genesis G70. Due to the chip shortage the prices had gone through the roof so I decided to buy out the lease on my 2018 Q50 and I am glad I did. It's everything I need. It's not too big, it's quick, it still looks good and the nav is touch screen which the TLX was not. When things normalize I'll probably trade it in. Who knows, I might even get another one. The Signature series caught my eye.
Those new Genesis family look looks gorgeous but not on g70 in my opinion. it’s because their design is not fully changed, they’re just facelift version of the previous g70. Those family look looks too much for an old body of g70. I hope their design get better just like every genesis series.
As a Infiniti fan I can respect this man views on the brand he was honest but with out being a negative jerk about it. Infiniti does make great engines and cars!
@@sn350channel Sorry but the VQ and VK engine family (in any of its former and/or present forms) have been solely developed and built by Nissan. Sure, Nissan does get financial support & fiscal oversight from Renault, but they share very little in terms of materials and mechanics.

@@Blue-moon12 Aye the turbo seals are a known issues in particular for 2016-18 model years. But they are almost never catastrophic failures. But it's typical of a top to bottom new engine for the first year or so, always some issues that need to be worked out. Infiniti has been good about addressing the issue when it pops up however and the newer models are looking to be very reliable.
It’s cool to see the different modes. I was just telling someone the other day in my Q50 there is a HUGE difference in the normal and sport mode, more than I see in average cars. It’s cool to physically see the difference in this bideo
Awesome match up. I personally have a 2018 Q50 RS, but also luv the G70. I think the reason why the Q50 pulled away so much, when in Sport +, was due to the change in the gearing ratios when in this mode.
Gear ratios don't change in ANY mode.. There is no secondary ratios in the Jatco 7 speed nor in the differential.. The only that does is the tune/boost levels in sport mode +
Both of you are incorrect. Thr gear ratios don't change and neither does the boost levels. Sport and sport + change the throttle response, transmission shifts, dampers, traction and steering feel. This makes for a better driving feel.
As a russian I'm deeply impressed how quickly Korea grows. Their cars compete with Japanese cars, and in many ways Korean cars are better. And then there are russian with their Ladas
Вы с ума сошли? Чем корейские автомобили конкурируют и лучше японских? Они в лучшем случае копии японских и немецких автомобилей. Подражатель никогда не превосходит оригинала. Вы явно не в Сибири живете. Они по-прежнему ненадежны.Теперь, когда они наняли немецких и европейских инженеров, их надежность стала хуже. Вы не знаете, как они скрывали отзывы и атаковали информаторов, которые выявили серьезные проблемы с продуктами, только после чего они были вынуждены опубликовать отзыв, и они все еще скрывали проблемы с новой линейкой движков Smartstream. Этот 3,3-литровый двигатель несколько раз загорался на подземных автостоянках в Корее. I guess they are better than the Japanese in giving you surprises and more passionately catch on fire like the Italians. I laugh. Кроме того, я не буду покупать машину в корейской стране, которая заявляет, что Дальний Восток является своей землей, и хочет украсть ее у нас. Я считаю, что «Lada» лучше, чем «Хюндай». Русские машины дешевле и надежнее
@@miraphycs7377 I feel like your disdain for Genesis comes from some sort of resentment against S. Korea and not the car company itself. I find that they're distinct from the rest of what the luxury car industry is currently putting out and I really love their design style but I'm open to hear what you have to say on them.
@Enzo Morf right! Clearly the infiniti was out before this car. I dont understand why infiniti gets so much flak regarding redesigns when every other luxury brand does the same thing! Trans old or not the rs400 is a beast
Subscribed!!! Very good comparing these 2 beautiful machines. You do an amazing job, very detailed and professional. in the future, I'd love to see a comparison between a Challenger Scatpack 6.4 vs an Infiniti Q50 Red Sport.
Youre not getting this engine in the entry level Z. Sorry bub. The "q50rs engine" is the same engine in the normal q50, just tuned differently. Its a marketing ploy. Also, holding true to a video games curb weight when 0 info on the car is released? No way. If they were going to be giving a 400hp engine entry lvl with a 3400 car, NISSAN would be eager to confirm it. 0 details have been confirmed and the car comes out in like 3 months. Not a good sign for the Nissan boys lol.
@@clpauto3710 it would safe to bet the new Z would weigh around as much as the 370. Also, no details besides it being a twin turbo v6 and manual is all people need to hear. Just building the suspense up by not giving more details
@@lulmoewiththegimpyleg6815 I’ve been in a Q50 and the genesis and Kia are actually more luxurious than the Q50. I can tell you just follow stuff that’s trendy bc that G70 is from Genesis own company not Hyundai Genesis.

Everyone keeps commenting about how the Genesis is a 2022 vs the Q50 which is an older design. The 2022 Genesis is only a cosmetic upgrade, the power train has not changed since 2018.
@@restlessyouthproductions the styling is out of date, especially next to the Genesis, but the worst part is the interior, the nav/info/dash screens looks and integration is a bad joke at this point.
Genesis is what Infiniti was and should have became. I love how you guys have mature drag racing. No egos, no "sore loosing". Just pure comparing. If there was an issue, you redo it, no temper tantrums. I love it
Said this back in 2009! The 1st gen Genesis sedan was emulating the Infiniti M45, while the Genesis Coupe was emulating the G37 coupe. They were studying both Infiniti and Lexus. Now that they've poached German and Japanese engineers to aid in their development, the sky is the limit! Hyundai has deep pockets, as auto-manufacturing is a side business for them. It was only a matter of time for them to catch up to the competition, and dare I say, surpass them!
@@Marlon_J not necessarily, the other also jumped the gun in one of the runs. You can't win them all. I'd rate these 2 cars as equals when it comes to acceleration.
Reaction time is huge, seems like I see a lot of people gloss over this and it can really make the difference between an even race and a car length or two, if not more.
I’d be interested in times for each run. Maybe the genesis was getting heat soak and slowing down? Or maybe it was really just the Infiniti driver getting his launch down. Either way. Great video!
@Catholic Firefighter the RS definitely got a jump on the Stinger in the last video. They're still a lot closer than I was expecting. I thought the G70 would walk away with it easily.
Great video Sam! I own a 2020 RS, like it lots and must admit it is so nice to see it holding its own against top newcomers. The G70 is simply gorgeous. Infiniti updated the exhaust and mid pipe on 2020 models, the exhaust Sound is pretty awesome and believe the transmission, although dated, it was retuned in 2018 so it would be nice to test a newer RS against the so called top dogs in the segment. Great channel! Stay safe!
If Infiniti Canada wanted to hook it up, I believe that the 20/21 RS I-Line with the updated exhaust would be great, but the results would be the same - if not more handily skewed towards the Infiniti.
Agree. I got the I-Line RS in the same colour. Love the blue! The car is a beast in straight line. You’ve been a good sport and your car looks very nice. Keep enjoying your ride and stay safe
Hi could you provide a link to these updates. Im currently looking for 2018+ RS400 Rwd. I had no idea about the transmission update or exhaust. I have heard of the turbo being updated using different seals for the 18/19. Thanks
I know first hand about the exhaust and mid pipe as the upgrades are widely advertised on Infiniti Canada website for the 2020 and 2021 models. As for the transmission, someone else mentioned it in the comments and I also read about it, possibly in a forum, in the past but can’t attest to the validity of the claim. I’ll see if I find details on it. My RS by the way is AWD as I live in Canada.
Great cars. The G has a nicer interior and newer transmission but the Q is more fuel efficient and convenient with a 20 gallon tank. 48k on mine and it has been excellent. Still on original brakes too.
Much respect for that RS400. Makes me even more anxious to see that new Z. Impressive powertrain. Not that the G70 is a slouch or anything though, just newer and more expected.
Bravo again excellent race guys it would nice to race again with the latest infinity, new recalibrated transmission with better flow from the exhaust for the infinity.👏👌👍💪🔥🇨🇦
A 5 year old car with probably 30k miles still manages to keep up with these brand new and newly designed cars. I can only imagine how a Q50 will dust a Type S.
Q50 red sport is underrated- dyno shows it is about 390 to rear wheels which is roughly 450hp at crank. Also its about 400 lbft torque. All stock. Watch out with tune and full exhaust. BAM. 550-600 (or more) reliable and easy hp.
I have a Q60S 3.0T (not called Red Sport here in the UK...) The problem I have with my 2017 car is replacing it. When I look around at what is available, nothing new really offers anything that much better for less that £80k. Also, I find it difficult to fault the Q60 interior. Still feels nice. Extraordinarily comfortable. Easy to use and the dual screens integrate seamlessly. Plus, the Sport Tech ProPILOT is a perfect blend of involvement and autonomy. Love it tbh.
In the races, they look almost identical..have you looked at the difference in tires...brand, tread life, etc. Can make a huge difference. Great video btw!
Test drove the 2019 G70 TT but leased Q50s RS. The handling in the corner was much better and accelerations felt smoother on the Infiniti. Yeah it’s outdated but black on black Q50s up closes looked like a beast
@@hammertimeyes5641 a modern g70 that couldn’t beat an “ outdated “ Infinity. I don’t know why you would highlight that 😂😂😂 and act like you made a point.
WOW, surprised how close that was! Question 1: Q50 any weight savings with aftermarket wheels? Question 2: Q50 shifting manually or automatically? was worried Q50 would heat soak(weak heat exchanger) after so many runs but hung in there like a champ. Man, imagine racing both with JB4s installed! haha thanks for the video!
Automatic in all races from a dig. Obviously Standard mode is pig mode in comparison to the G70. Sport and Sport + she comes to life. In the 2nd roll race Sam recommended I use the paddles after the results of the first 40 roll. I was getting ahead of him before we took off so I reduced speed and the trans shifted and I was DOA. The paddles helped control the transmission and allowed me to compete. Seems like I got on the brakes early at the finish marker a few times too (makes for better drama LOL). No major weight reduction in the wheels from OE, they are 19" Braelin BR06's second hand because thats how I roll. Appreciate your comments!
@@jimwallace4164 So did the G70 use paddles as well? Seems like these videos keeps ignoring changes in such details (paddles vs letting the auto. do its thing)? ON BOTH SIDES
The person in the Q50 was me and I had never ever dragged my car before, give me a few runs and the universe balances out. G70 in Normal/Standard mode is obviously better than the Infiniti.
Genesis is everything Infiniti should have been! I owned G35x for 8 years and G37x for 6 years. I was about to buy a Q50 red sport but Infiniti just not the same. I thought Infiniti was going to be like Genesis? I end buying A Kia Stinger because of the particle hatch with more sport tuned engine vs the more luxury refined interior G70!
Hyundai has sucked for a long time before revamping in the last 10-15 years, so please stop acting like Infinity hasn't been any good. I don't know why everyone is so dramatically biased against Infinity.
@@restlessyouthproductions I think it has something to do with the way Infiniti dropped the ball. They were on top from 2004-2015 everybody wanted one and they just became complacent over the years. An infiniti has always been in my family J30, G35 and M45 but somethings missing with the new offerings. Hyundia and Kia on the other hand good only go up from where they were so the impact is more dramatic.
@@d.block3148 That’s a very fair response. I’ve owned a Genesis. Great car!! I also own a mint, refreshed Q50 Red Sport. It’s the MOST Japanese car on the market not named GTR. I understand people are calling it dated in the interior. To me it’s perfectly Japanese. The G80 and G70 are terrific , but they are also mimicking European type design cues from Bimmer and Mercedes. I love my “ dated” feel of the Q50. It’s a beautiful looking car.
@@restlessyouthproductions like the other guy said infiniti was on top for a while in early 2000s to about 2014. Easily had the most performance of any non German brand. Some say the g35 was better then 3 series. But they really fell off hard. It’s ashame they can build great motors but seems they have no interest in interior quality/tech or updating pretty much anything. Once Renault took over Nissan it was all downhill from there. Genesis/Hyundai/Kia are what infiniti was back in the day but they are doing it very quickly. No1 thought just 5 years ago that they would be putting out vehicles like they are today.
Excellent matchup. I totally agree with the owner. The 7spd is what is holding back the engine. I really hope Infiniti addresses that, the chassis and the interior for the next go around.
Ive been in both and the g70 do feel way more torqey for some reason and the redsports show there power up top so this race went as expected.The extrq .3 of dispalcement is helping the g70 off the hit but on the highway passed 120 that extra power of the q50 would pull it back.Really good race indeed and you can tell driver reaction played a major roll.Imagine if they make a performance varient of this g70 engine with like 450hp that would be a crazy car and give the Germans some competition..like a G70 R or some shit or Kia stinger GT R or N or whatever..it wont be cheap tho probly be like 63-71k
About what I expected except the first race where I was certain the driver must have left traction control on. These cars are awful with t/c engaged, way too aggressive in cutting the power. But it looks like it was a drivers race. I have the ’18 Q50RS. It’s alright, lots of tuning potential but it’s behind in a lot of ways. The G70 is a great car, worthy competitor to the S4. Wish the back seat had a couple more inches of leg room though.
To see the G70 hold it's own against against the Q50 is awesome and makes me appreciate the brand even more so. Recently bought a GV80 and not too many similar trucks in it's class can go pound for pound from top to bottom. Excited about where Genesis is going. Hope you do a road test when the G80 Sport comes out!
@@cb5110 Thank you for the obvious and I'm sure you know that Q50 is older than the entire Genesis brand. I don't care if the G70 went up against a current Infinti it's still impressive to the Genesis and the recent Hyundai N Line compete with brands that have been around for 35 plus years.
@@lortoubrowne6749 Infiniti drivetrain and car is not new, the transmission from infiniti is more than a decade old, the transmission have been around from 2009, the hyundai has more modern transmission, while the engine development of both is very close, the hyundai have all the edge, been it was more modern all around, and the Infiniti been dated from 2014. Whatever you want to sing, about 35 years, it still a hyundai which have years of experience in car development, same as nissan, the infiniti in sport mode beat out a modern 8 speed transmission and modern engine from hyundai, that is what you want to call competitive, been beating by an older powertrain.
@@cb5110 I think you are confusing development of engine and transmission versus performance of each. The G70 is way more refine and efficient. It does not mean it is better performing. Fun fact older performance cars are crazy fast. Suspension is not the best , but if you put that q50 against similar cars to the G70 the result may be similar
@@cb5110 the newest iteration of the q50 redsport is the same performance. The only changes are aesthetics. The q50 red sport is a good performer, the g70 has the edge in the interior and the tech department specially things like the lane keep assist. I'm considering the 3.0tt q50 red sport and g70 3.3tt as my other car. And it's hard to pick to be very honest. The q50s is slightly better performance but the warranty and interiors of genesis. I don't like the facelift of the g70 though, I prefer the 2019-2021 design.
Both of these cars are amazing machines that perform rather similarly. Mods and both will be extremely fast but I believe the aftermarket support and performance on the q50 will outshine the 3.3tt. For me it comes down to the exterior styling and interior, both of which (imo) is better on the g70😁👍
Agree, and the Q50 is ~4K more MSRP if optioned fully like the G70. As the G70 shares platforms with the Stinger, ...one would assume mods would be an easy thing, should that be a route someone takes. Don't really see these being mod beasts in a sense.
@@senorfreeze4662 It is a tougher engine build vs the VR30DDTT + larger displacement to boot. I also wonder about the potential of the new 3.5TT in the G80/GV70.
@@omarbryant7930 that’s what I’m saying. Both these cars run in the 12 second quarter mile range. The quickest Honda you can get right now is the type r and it runs a mid 13 second quarter. Which has the same motor as the TLX and accord sport. The Nsx is a beast but a different class.
I never thought I’d see the day I’d say Infiniti lost a race Edit: Never mind lol it didn’t lose after Sports mode. But that Genesis is seriously a contender
This matches what I have seen on many other videos. The Stinger / G70 matches or outperforms the Q50 Red Sport and I think it comes down to the horrible 7 speed transmissions in the Q50. I have the standard Q50 Luxe and an Stinger and there is no comparison in the transmission. The TTVR motor in the Q50’s is excellent but the gearing lets it down. The Stinger is underrated HP or the Q50 overrated. There is a 35HP and the difference so the Q50 RS should walk the Stinger / G70 platform.
Yeah some folks are clearly glossing over the fact that in one of the races the Q50 came from behind, it was clearly losing and still managed to not only catch up, but drove past the G70. I'd like to see the G70 come from behind in a loss and pass the Q50 to win. At the end of the day there were just too many inconsistencies throughout the races--use a Dragy so we can see if it's driver error. NOTE: All Q50s are underrated, RS is closer to 450, and all others are closer to 350 at the crank based on the dyno numbers, similar to how BMW underrates as well
@@kevq35 if the Red Sport is UNDERATED why is it barley beating or only equaling a car with less horsepower 365HP and my stock Stinger has beaten Red Sports with the same Motor. I have a Q50 Luxe and a Stinger I dont have a dog in the fight because I own Infinity and Kia Stinger - Sister car
Do u mean Acura TLX-TYPE-S? It's not Twin Turbo...it has a single twin scroll turbo...and I don't think u can buy it till mid next month...just my 2 cents
This is the pre-refreshed model. The current models look a bit better and fresher with the updated bumpers and taillights, but it is time for a complete redesign or major update

The only that does is the tune/boost levels in sport mode +
Both of you are incorrect. Thr gear ratios don't change and neither does the boost levels. Sport and sport + change the throttle response, transmission shifts, dampers, traction and steering feel. This makes for a better driving feel.

As a russian I'm deeply impressed how quickly Korea grows. Their cars compete with Japanese cars, and in many ways Korean cars are better. And then there are russian with their Ladas
Вы с ума сошли? Чем корейские автомобили конкурируют и лучше японских? Они в лучшем случае копии японских и немецких автомобилей. Подражатель никогда не превосходит оригинала. Вы явно не в Сибири живете. Они по-прежнему ненадежны.Теперь, когда они наняли немецких и европейских инженеров, их надежность стала хуже. Вы не знаете, как они скрывали отзывы и атаковали информаторов, которые выявили серьезные проблемы с продуктами, только после чего они были вынуждены опубликовать отзыв, и они все еще скрывали проблемы с новой линейкой движков Smartstream. Этот 3,3-литровый двигатель несколько раз загорался на подземных автостоянках в Корее.
I guess they are better than the Japanese in giving you surprises and more passionately catch on fire like the Italians. I laugh.
Кроме того, я не буду покупать машину в корейской стране, которая заявляет, что Дальний Восток является своей землей, и хочет украсть ее у нас.
Я считаю, что «Lada» лучше, чем «Хюндай». Русские машины дешевле и надежнее

@Enzo Morf right! Clearly the infiniti was out before this car. I dont understand why infiniti gets so much flak regarding redesigns when every other luxury brand does the same thing! Trans old or not the rs400 is a beast

They also heatsoak really quickly so after it gets to temp it pulls out timing. For optimal performance you need a bigger heat exchanger.

such an interesting drag race! great job
Genesis is what Infiniti was and should have became. I love how you guys have mature drag racing. No egos, no "sore loosing". Just pure comparing. If there was an issue, you redo it, no temper tantrums. I love it
Said this back in 2009! The 1st gen Genesis sedan was emulating the Infiniti M45, while the Genesis Coupe was emulating the G37 coupe. They were studying both Infiniti and Lexus. Now that they've poached German and Japanese engineers to aid in their development, the sky is the limit! Hyundai has deep pockets, as auto-manufacturing is a side business for them. It was only a matter of time for them to catch up to the competition, and dare I say, surpass them!
With these 2, all comes down to driver. Very nice.
Yup. His reaction time is what cost him when he lost.
@@Marlon_J not necessarily, the other also jumped the gun in one of the runs. You can't win them all.
I'd rate these 2 cars as equals when it comes to acceleration.
@@george.giannop you can costly see the infiniti pulling on top though with no human error
@@occckid123 agreed. Top end run is a different story.
Both cars equal in performance driver reaction is key.
Reaction time is huge, seems like I see a lot of people gloss over this and it can really make the difference between an even race and a car length or two, if not more.
Exactly, you nailed it!
I’d be interested in times for each run. Maybe the genesis was getting heat soak and slowing down? Or maybe it was really just the Infiniti driver getting his launch down. Either way. Great video!
Made me love my "old" Q50S even more! 😁
The best sport sedan match up in a while. Two great values that actually can serve as a selling point
Great vid, y’all should incorporate a rev off before the race to add some theater
I've been waiting for this rematch since the Stinger GT vs Q50 RS video!
@Catholic Firefighter the RS definitely got a jump on the Stinger in the last video.
They're still a lot closer than I was expecting. I thought the G70 would walk away with it easily.
@@nickmotsarsky4382 lmaooo u a menace 💀😂
Great video Sam! I own a 2020 RS, like it lots and must admit it is so nice to see it holding its own against top newcomers. The G70 is simply gorgeous. Infiniti updated the exhaust and mid pipe on 2020 models, the exhaust Sound is pretty awesome and believe the transmission, although dated, it was retuned in 2018 so it would be nice to test a newer RS against the so called top dogs in the segment. Great channel! Stay safe!
If Infiniti Canada wanted to hook it up, I believe that the 20/21 RS I-Line with the updated exhaust would be great, but the results would be the same - if not more handily skewed towards the Infiniti.
Agree. I got the I-Line RS in the same colour. Love the blue! The car is a beast in straight line. You’ve been a good sport and your car looks very nice. Keep enjoying your ride and stay safe
Hi could you provide a link to these updates. Im currently looking for 2018+ RS400 Rwd. I had no idea about the transmission update or exhaust. I have heard of the turbo being updated using different seals for the 18/19. Thanks
I know first hand about the exhaust and mid pipe as the upgrades are widely advertised on Infiniti Canada website for the 2020 and 2021 models. As for the transmission, someone else mentioned it in the comments and I also read about it, possibly in a forum, in the past but can’t attest to the validity of the claim. I’ll see if I find details on it. My RS by the way is AWD as I live in Canada.
@@KingAmsa ok thanks for the info. Yea I live in CT but I have another vehicle for the snow.

Thank you, I will
That interior of the G70 is beautiful,...I wished Genesis would come with a dedicated sport pack for each car in the G and GV series
they will do
Great cars. The G has a nicer interior and newer transmission but the Q is more fuel efficient and convenient with a 20 gallon tank. 48k on mine and it has been excellent. Still on original brakes too.
Much respect for that RS400. Makes me even more anxious to see that new Z. Impressive powertrain. Not that the G70 is a slouch or anything though, just newer and more expected.
Oh yeah the 7 speed Jatco is a decent transmission, but it’s kinda outdated ⚙️ 📦 that tranny came out in 2008 😝
Damn the fact that a 2016-2017 infinity q50 rs 3.0tt is keeping up with a all new 2022 genesis 3.3t is amazing! I love infinity! I own one btw...
The 2022 Genesis is only a cosmetic upgrade. The power train is the same as the 2018.
Clearly
Awesome work Sam
not gonna lie imma hope you got a every day driver drags playlist on your channel 😭
I want a G70 as my next vehicle. I’m curious to what the aftermarket looks like cuz a little tune and some intakes would make it a rocket ship!
Just get a Kia Stinger GT, it's better.
Are you talking about speed? The stinger is longer heavier and slower.
@@scottkozub2607 More legroom, and more storagespace and same 0-60

Great video. Thanks!
Bravo again excellent race guys it would nice to race again with the latest infinity, new recalibrated transmission with better flow from the exhaust for the infinity.👏👌👍💪🔥🇨🇦
A 5 year old car with probably 30k miles still manages to keep up with these brand new and newly designed cars. I can only imagine how a Q50 will dust a Type S.
It does check their new vids 😅
Q50 red sport is underrated- dyno shows it is about 390 to rear wheels which is roughly 450hp at crank. Also its about 400 lbft torque. All stock. Watch out with tune and full exhaust. BAM. 550-600 (or more) reliable and easy hp.
I have a Q60S 3.0T (not called Red Sport here in the UK...) The problem I have with my 2017 car is replacing it. When I look around at what is available, nothing new really offers anything that much better for less that £80k. Also, I find it difficult to fault the Q60 interior. Still feels nice. Extraordinarily comfortable. Easy to use and the dual screens integrate seamlessly. Plus, the Sport Tech ProPILOT is a perfect blend of involvement and autonomy. Love it tbh.
Great race and great choice of cars to compare!
G70 vs CT5-V would be a good race
Would love to see some G80 Sport drag races
In the races, they look almost identical..have you looked at the difference in tires...brand, tread life, etc. Can make a huge difference. Great video btw!
Love the blue on that Infiniti! Never considered a Hyundai or a Kia before, but maybe I should at least take a look...
Test drove the 2019 G70 TT but leased Q50s RS. The handling in the corner was much better and accelerations felt smoother on the Infiniti. Yeah it’s outdated but black on black Q50s up closes looked like a beast
Odd choice. Outdated Infiniti over modern G70.
Do you have an AWD or RWD?
Wait. Did you say the Q50 out handles a G70? Not even maybe my friend. Not even maybe.
@@SlipAngleG70 Agreed, I have a q50 red sport and handling is crap lol. I test drove g70 recently and it turned corners like nothing.
@@hammertimeyes5641 a modern g70 that couldn’t beat an “ outdated “ Infinity. I don’t know why you would highlight that 😂😂😂 and act like you made a point.
WOW, surprised how close that was! Question 1: Q50 any weight savings with aftermarket wheels? Question 2: Q50 shifting manually or automatically? was worried Q50 would heat soak(weak heat exchanger) after so many runs but hung in there like a champ. Man, imagine racing both with JB4s installed! haha thanks for the video!
All autos
Automatic in all races from a dig. Obviously Standard mode is pig mode in comparison to the G70. Sport and Sport + she comes to life. In the 2nd roll race Sam recommended I use the paddles after the results of the first 40 roll. I was getting ahead of him before we took off so I reduced speed and the trans shifted and I was DOA. The paddles helped control the transmission and allowed me to compete. Seems like I got on the brakes early at the finish marker a few times too (makes for better drama LOL). No major weight reduction in the wheels from OE, they are 19" Braelin BR06's second hand because thats how I roll. Appreciate your comments!
@@jimwallace4164 So did the G70 use paddles as well? Seems like these videos keeps ignoring changes in such details (paddles vs letting the auto. do its thing)? ON BOTH SIDES
Appreciate the roll mode, it reduces the fraction second start time variable.
Damn good races
That person in that Q60 s was not paying any attention in the first round and he was not hitting that gas pedal at all ..
The person in the Q50 was me and I had never ever dragged my car before, give me a few runs and the universe balances out. G70 in Normal/Standard mode is obviously better than the Infiniti.
Genesis is everything Infiniti should have been! I owned G35x for 8 years and G37x for 6 years. I was about to buy a Q50 red sport but Infiniti just not the same. I thought Infiniti was going to be like Genesis? I end buying A Kia Stinger because of the particle hatch with more sport tuned engine vs the more luxury refined interior G70!
Hyundai has sucked for a long time before revamping in the last 10-15 years, so please stop acting like Infinity hasn't been any good. I don't know why everyone is so dramatically biased against Infinity.
@@restlessyouthproductions I think it has something to do with the way Infiniti dropped the ball. They were on top from 2004-2015 everybody wanted one and they just became complacent over the years. An infiniti has always been in my family J30, G35 and M45 but somethings missing with the new offerings. Hyundia and Kia on the other hand good only go up from where they were so the impact is more dramatic.
@@d.block3148 That’s a very fair response. I’ve owned a Genesis. Great car!! I also own a mint, refreshed Q50 Red Sport. It’s the MOST Japanese car on the market not named GTR. I understand people are calling it dated in the interior. To me it’s perfectly Japanese. The G80 and G70 are terrific , but they are also mimicking European type design cues from Bimmer and Mercedes. I love my “ dated” feel of the Q50. It’s a beautiful looking car.
@@restlessyouthproductions like the other guy said infiniti was on top for a while in early 2000s to about 2014. Easily had the most performance of any non German brand. Some say the g35 was better then 3 series. But they really fell off hard. It’s ashame they can build great motors but seems they have no interest in interior quality/tech or updating pretty much anything. Once Renault took over Nissan it was all downhill from there. Genesis/Hyundai/Kia are what infiniti was back in the day but they are doing it very quickly. No1 thought just 5 years ago that they would be putting out vehicles like they are today.
@@Tsand4 Yeah, let’s hope they are listening to the enthusiasts .
This channel is so prolific!
Thank you
Both really nice cars!
That g70 look sick!!
lol it does
Excellent matchup. I totally agree with the owner. The 7spd is what is holding back the engine. I really hope Infiniti addresses that, the chassis and the interior for the next go around.
The Infiniti only needs a cold air intake and 3" dowm pipes to open up with a tune and your will over that 400
Is the red sport brake boosting? Cuz that’s what it sound like at min 6:50
Would like to see the difference between an Infiniti Q50 vs Q50s. Would like to know if there's a huge difference with a 10k price difference.
Ive been in both and the g70 do feel way more torqey for some reason and the redsports show there power up top so this race went as expected.The extrq .3 of dispalcement is helping the g70 off the hit but on the highway passed 120 that extra power of the q50 would pull it back.Really good race indeed and you can tell driver reaction played a major roll.Imagine if they make a performance varient of this g70 engine with like 450hp that would be a crazy car and give the Germans some competition..like a G70 R or some shit or Kia stinger GT R or N or whatever..it wont be cheap tho probly be like 63-71k
You extractly said what was in my mind 👍
with jb4 and downpipes the g70 have like 450 whp
The Genesis just is way more visually appealing to me, I love the engine on the Infinity but the body style just doesn't pop as much to me.
Well, the Infiniti design is over 10 years old...lol
Get a Q60 then
What some people don’t understand is that Hyundai/Genesis is not the same Hyundai from the early 2000’s trust me I learned the hard way
good test. The heat might've been getting to the cars after constant back to back runs
Genesis defeniltly underrated their HP figure on this engine
@@senorfreeze4662 yeah this motor is defeniltly making more like 400 hp I bet.
I daily drive an Rs400 I love it !!
About what I expected except the first race where I was certain the driver must have left traction control on. These cars are awful with t/c engaged, way too aggressive in cutting the power. But it looks like it was a drivers race. I have the ’18 Q50RS. It’s alright, lots of tuning potential but it’s behind in a lot of ways. The G70 is a great car, worthy competitor to the S4. Wish the back seat had a couple more inches of leg room though.
Killer races
To see the G70 hold it's own against against the Q50 is awesome and makes me appreciate the brand even more so. Recently bought a GV80 and not too many similar trucks in it's class can go pound for pound from top to bottom. Excited about where Genesis is going. Hope you do a road test when the G80 Sport comes out!
you do know the infiniti Q50 is old (2014) and the 3.0TT engine came out 2016, and the G70 new? Holding it own against a old car is not impressive.

@@lortoubrowne6749 Infiniti drivetrain and car is not new, the transmission from infiniti is more than a decade old, the transmission have been around from 2009, the hyundai has more modern transmission, while the engine development of both is very close, the hyundai have all the edge, been it was more modern all around, and the Infiniti been dated from 2014.

@@cb5110 I think you are confusing development of engine and transmission versus performance of each. The G70 is way more refine and efficient. It does not mean it is better performing. Fun fact older performance cars are crazy fast. Suspension is not the best , but if you put that q50 against similar cars to the G70 the result may be similar
@@cb5110 the newest iteration of the q50 redsport is the same performance. The only changes are aesthetics.
The q50 red sport is a good performer, the g70 has the edge in the interior and the tech department specially things like the lane keep assist.
I'm considering the 3.0tt q50 red sport and g70 3.3tt as my other car.
And it's hard to pick to be very honest. The q50s is slightly better performance but the warranty and interiors of genesis. I don't like the facelift of the g70 though, I prefer the 2019-2021 design.

@@Pimp_dont_simp Nissan is still in pretty heavy financial trouble. Hopefully these new vehicles will revive them big time
Both of these cars are amazing machines that perform rather similarly. Mods and both will be extremely fast but I believe the aftermarket support and performance on the q50 will outshine the 3.3tt. For me it comes down to the exterior styling and interior, both of which (imo) is better on the g70😁👍
Agree, and the Q50 is ~4K more MSRP if optioned fully like the G70. As the G70 shares platforms with the Stinger, ...one would assume mods would be an easy thing, should that be a route someone takes. Don't really see these being mod beasts in a sense.

and your Datsun has a Lada written all over it.
Now I feel better knowing my dream car can pull and keep it up 😀
This matches what I have seen on many other videos. The Stinger / G70 matches or outperforms the Q50 Red Sport and I think it comes down to the horrible 7 speed transmissions in the Q50. I have the standard Q50 Luxe and an Stinger and there is no comparison in the transmission. The TTVR motor in the Q50’s is excellent but the gearing lets it down. The Stinger is underrated HP or the Q50 overrated. There is a 35HP and the difference so the Q50 RS should walk the Stinger / G70 platform.
Which it did.
Yeah some folks are clearly glossing over the fact that in one of the races the Q50 came from behind, it was clearly losing and still managed to not only catch up, but drove past the G70. I'd like to see the G70 come from behind in a loss and pass the Q50 to win. At the end of the day there were just too many inconsistencies throughout the races--use a Dragy so we can see if it's driver error. NOTE: All Q50s are underrated, RS is closer to 450, and all others are closer to 350 at the crank based on the dyno numbers, similar to how BMW underrates as well
