styling wise, i didn't think infiniti could do better than the g37 coupe which was gorgeous. i was wrong. the q60 is absolutely stunning. especially in person.
I own this car, silver 3.0t. I'm in the casino business and work with a lot of Mercedes, Audi, BMW etc..owners. they've all drooled over it, and are looking at Infiniti now
Justin Dufrene - Do you live in a hot country? The reason I am asking is because I use to own G37 coupe but the from panel interior would crack due to the sun and heat. The weather can get up to 91 degrees here.
This is an amazing looking car. I have to disagree with those who are saying that the interior is not up to the competition. Look at Mercedes C class for an example. They just put a gigantic tablet in the middle. Every car has its goods and bads. and I believe this car has more goods than bad. Well done Infiniti. oh and also great review. You sir definitely deserve more views and subscribers.
PN&SP: I agree wholeheartedly that all cars have trade-offs, and people should get what THEY find important. I don't understand why so many people spend a lot of time and energy hating on each other over whether (for example) BMW this is better than Infiniti that, or whether comfort/reliability is better than performance. The cars are different, have different prices and performance points. Frankly, I like to get a car a few years off lease with low miles, and let the previous owner eat half the price of the car in depreciation. In my experience, as long as there is a long powertrain warranty, I get about all the benefit, "suffering" only, say, a few paint chips. I've had friends assume such cars I bought were new (these aren't car geeks, just ordinary folks, of course). But each to their own. To me, a Mercedes (aside from the AMG or super expensive performance end) is about interior comfort and driving comfort and looks, and not performance.
It's a shame Infiniti dropped the G branding. That car had a great reputation especially with there incredible run from 2003-2010. The car always was priced way below the competitiors with a MASSIVE horsepower advantage. Looks like they are finally coming back to there glory days.
Looks like you went for the "red pill". In your wonderland, NOT staying with the "G" design language is a GOOD thing. Had you chosen the "blue pill" you would see that this is not true.
Really great review, I have always appreciated your work! I am with you about the electric steering, I didn't find it to be that bad and I appreciated the driving dynamics that they pulled off with it. The Q60 appears to be a car that I could see myself in very soon.
Three years ago I picked up a Q50s, (the newer, redesigned Q60 was not out yet). Don't get me wrong, I have really enjoyed my Q50, but I very much look forward to picking up my new Q60 within the next 6-9 months. I've simply always felt two door coupes handled better on turns, and are 3 or 4 times better looking than four door sedans.
Beautiful machine. Engineers really hit this one out of the park. Great job folks! :) One of our neighbors has one and I must say I can't help but admire the design/lines on this machine. I am afraid I'll get caught staring and she'll think I am checking her out instead of the car! lol! That said, I feel from my personal experience/observations that some people are influenced/driven by how other people view them. As most people would agree. People may go for the name versus the deal. If their wallets are big enough that is. :) Names like Mercedes Benz, Rolls Royce, BMW etc may charge more than Infinity even though they may offer less tech/flash for the buck. However as I am sure most would agree it's the name/brand that they are also selling you. It's the privilege of owning a Mercedes Benz or BMW that they are charging for on top of the luxury/tech. Personally, I am not quite at the point of my life yet where I can invest $40K - $65K on a car no matter the brand/tech. When I get there, the folks at Infiniti sure will make it hard to choose. :) I've always admired Mercedes Benz cars. I've always felt these machines were synonymous with wealth/status, financial freedom. Some may disagree and feel the higher brand name cars are such as Rolls Royce, Bentley etc..give off that proverbial vibe. But hey, to each his/her own right? :)
Great review. You pay close attention to Infiniti's details and appreciate them. Good to see a journalist whom thinks independently. Thumbs up from NYC.
I just Purchase my 2018 Q60 and I had know Idea that I was going to receive so many Compliments. The 1st thing I hear is “what kind of car is that, That’s Nice” I’ve always been the type of Person that admire and compliment cars or etc. if something that’s nice however I’ve always wanted to have something Nice but different. Something Everyone did not have. Having the Q60 was a perfect choice for me. I Love My Q60 ❤️💋
I'm looking to lease a new car and the 400hp for $50-55k USD is definitely a draw to Infiniti, in my eyes anyway. I'm comparing it to the A4, C300/43 amg, and the 340i. I've driven all but the amg and the Infiniti. I've seen a couple of red sports on the road and they catch my eye as much as any c class. I've watched review after review and I'm anxious to check one out. Everyone who I've ever known with a Nissan/Infiniti hasn't complained of any issues , and I can't say the same for Mercedes ownership although incredible cars. Anyway ,, excellent review Zack !
Stunning exterior. Personally, I think the interior is just okay...I don't like that the top screen has much better graphics than the bottom. I think Infinity should scrap the dual screen model and just build one large, crisp screen. I'm surprised that you like Steer-by-wire. I drove a Q50 with that option and it felt totally devoid of feel to me. Personally, I think putting that system on a sports sedan sorta defeats the purpose of driving a sports sedan. A sporty drive includes great steering feel, but that feature is totally lacking in my opinion. Other than those quibbles, I think it's a great car. Hopefully some of the design features (such as the headlights and full LED integrated turn signals), will migrate to the sedan version.
It is possible to get a review of the Kia K900? I know it's not a very popular vehicle, but definitely a competitor to the Genesis and other luxury brands. Please and thank you.
thanks for your reviews and scenery of Canada. I visited Niagara Falls in 1981. loved it. The prices of your cars are way below what they are here in Australia. Thanks Zack.
Anyone coming back to this video after it was originally posted please be aware that you can simply tune this car for 400+ WHP. The limits are nearly identical between this and the Red Sport versions.
i got the q60 3.0l awd. these are the specs. Key Features Includes all Q60 2.0t AWD standard equipment plus: 300-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Remote engine start Heated Steering wheel and front seats Semi -Aniline Premium Leather appointed seating Infiniti InTouchTM with Navigation BOSE® Performance Series Audio and BOSE® Centerpoint® simulated surround 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar Power Tilt & Telescope w/ Memory Homelink® Universal Transceiver i didnt see a need to get any other additions to it. for me this works perfect. other than that. the car is fast. handles and drives amazing. wow! i spoke to my sales rep, he said, "it goes 0-100km/h in 5.7 sec with this engine". Here in canada this package starts at 52K. im happy.
Great review. I agree car looks great. I was disappointed when I decided I was going to buy a Q50, Consumer Reports rated it bad. The engine was good, but not much else. Every magazine or reviewer hated the steering so I decided against getting one. Need AWD where I live and have two kids so 4 door is a must right now.
I want to love it, but I just cant get myself to like the styling. This is my favorite class of cars though, they make a lot more sense than true sports cars.
zack, I'm so confused now. right now you praise this Q60 but Kelly Blue Book criticized it. now I'm so confused whose review is most credible and reliable. I always value your review and your words. KKK hated the adaptive steering system.
They couldn't update the inside more? They know it will sell since a huge percentage of people buy cars on looks alone. But it's the same thing, new wrapper and dropped a v6 for the same price.
The appearance of the new Q60 begs the question: why did they terminate the A pillar at the ridiculous crease on the hood? It should have blended into the hood ...to avoid the "muffin-top" effect they ultimately ended up with. ... SOclose!
If Acura and Infiniti don't get their act together within a short period of time. Say 10 years or so. The newly launched Genesis luxury brand will overpass them in sales as soon as their lineup is fleshed out of course.
just recently got this same car and I noticed that when i have it in Bluetooth mode connected to my Samsung S7 edge it'll start playing at a normal volume then about 3 seconds later get quieter. Subsequently i have to turn up the volume way higher on bluetooth to get the equivalent in SXM. Is there a specific setting doing this or has anybody else noticed this?
does it have a top speed limiter? it annoys me that my GTI won't go faster than 127mph because of speed limiter. I want freaking car reach to at least 150mph
Cornelius: Unless you track the car, what possible difference can it make.? Yeah, to merge or pass, the acceleration of a car like this is wonderful compared to the GLACIAL acceleration of, say, a Corolla. (Disclosure, I have a 2013 G37, but the principle is the same). However, unless you want to lose your license or maybe get jailed, or even kill someone, where in the US public road system would you conceive of going well over 100 mph?
I love how this car looks. Especially in white or black. Looks much better than the Q50 (more muscular and aggressive looking). But does anyone else think these new Infinitis look like Mazdas? Lol
I got a G35 coupe and Q50 Sedan and now I can't to find a slightly use Q60 Red Sport about two years from now for a great deal. The ONLY thing I don't like is the new name Q60 why not G35 or G37 or G30 TT?
T. Bigums I know Infiniti change the name from a G to Q and how is it stupid? I have a valid point, why spend all the money promoting a new name when the G name is already establish with a huge followers. And just in case you are to Stupid to know the G35 is call the Skyline GT350 in Japan.
T. Bigums: I hear you. When I wanted a sporty fun car for weekends, I first looked for the Infiniti G series, because I always wanted one but never wanted to spend the money while I was working. When I saw they were gone, I almost skipped Infiniti altogether, not realizing they'd just renamed things, and not liking the prices of the Q50 new. To me that was stupid. I guess with the internet, people who actually care can figure things out, but throwing away that whole line of tradition and quality and car fan devotion seems like madness.
This should be like the time when the G35 coupe came out back in 2003. If at 2016/2017 a Q60 top line is at 400 hp, ..it should put out something like a 3.5 lt. tt at 450-470 hp, ..400/450 tq within 1-3 yrs. (depending on sales I suppose). Then eventually a 3.7 lt. tt (@ 500+ hp. within 5-10 yrs). For now, I'm still happy with my G37X coupe (had it for 3 yrs. now), always have the option for FI and Tuner incase...
Unless you're going to track the car, does it really matter much? I have a G37X too, and enjoy the car, especially the performance. I love accelerating to 60 quickly on county roads, but after that quick burst, that power just burns gas. In fact, on similar roads, after the rather glacial pace to get to 60 mph, my daily driver 2015 Corolla is often more comfortable and handles the turns, etc. just about as well, as long as it's dry.
I would like to see dynos for the red sport. My guess is the BMW 440i (depsite being rated at 80 less hosrpower) makes similar power to the rear wheels.
Drove the 2.0t RWD for a day. Nice car for the price but engine and engine sound was not sporty enough. I also didn't like the totally new fully electric steering which changes the feedback quite often and suddenly while driving. You don't feel the street at all. Power is enough but you expect sth way more sporty with that design and don't wanna lose against a 2.0l BMW diesel family car, which you will. I would like to drive the 405hp version without electric steering if available.
Infinitis have been surprisingly expensive for the past decade or so, when they've fallen behind in many areas. This is not substantially different from the old G37 sedans that were driving off lots in the US for $34K well equipped a few years back.
no, luxury cars tend not to have those. Those are really made for lower end cars, as it doesn't add to the premium feel a luxury is supposed to have. having Apple or Android play would only blur the lines. Don't expect it anytime soon.
Jacob Robert Gray the infiniti brand is indeed in the category of luxury. Whether you like it or not is a different story. So you're wrong there, sorry. As for car play being added to the above stated brands, did you fact check at all? Because before I go any further, I'd like to know if you're just one of those guys who will argue just for the sake of arguing, thus, being a waste of time. If you did indeed fact check, please enlighten me on your sources. Because I will correct you
lol I think you're looking for an argument bud I never said Infiniti wasn't a luxury car brand I actually like them. Spent 25 seconds on apple.com is that good enough for you?
Will end up on used car dealerships on Kingsway in East Van and in Surrey in no time. Usually with chrome aftermarket wheels and cigarette-burnt seats.
how is it underpowered if the q60 has roughly the same 0 to 60 time and just 15 or so more torque and 6 HP less. (the equivalent q60). lexus has a smoother ride, more refined luxury, more reliable, holds its price better and has superb customer service.
This car would shit on a RC350 F-Sport. Twin-turbo v6 with 300hp, more torque, and it's lighter. RC350 F-Sport is supposed to go against Q60 Red Sport but it doesn't have the power. BMW 340i/440i, Infiniti Q50/60 Red Sport, Mercedes c450amg, and Audi S4/S5 are the way to go. Lexus IS350 F-Sport or RC350 F-Sport performance is garbage.
RC350 F Sport is definitely not suppose to go up against the red sport. Despite the RC F being heavy af, it will shit on the red sport. Not to mention it's way more reliable than any car in its class.
You need to learn more about these cars. RC-F go against M4, RS5, and C63AMG coupe. Infiniti doesn't have a car to compete against these four. Q60 Red Sport go against the new BMW 440i Msport, Mercedes C450 amg-sport which is going to be C43 amg for 2017, the Audi S4, and Lexus RC350 F-Sport. Lexus is underpowered because they did not upgrade their engines, they're still using the same 3.5L v6.
Ok fair enough. Until Infiniti has a car to compete with m4, rc f, c63, we can't compare them. Lexus does need to update it's V6 engine line up. But my point was if you compare RC 350 F Sport vs Infiniti Q60 3.0t (300hp), the lexus in my opinion is a much better car. As for red sport, it won't be fair to compare it to the RC 350 until it updates it's engines. I'll admit that.
3:49 "you cant just upgrade this engine to get 400hp" 😂 my 2017 non red sport 3.0t begs to differ. I have 440hp to the wheels. That's almost 500hp coming from the engine. Tell me again how you can't upgrade this engine to get 400hp?
John Moon things look completely different on camera if you just sit in the car it's pretty big in the front and the two screens are good in sunlight idk why people are bashing it
Des M well for insurance or like every other coupes kids but if you have some one under 5'5 they will actually fit back there leg room is really good for its class
Des M well in order for than to happen you would need to wreck the vehicle extremely badly in order for the seats not to move forward nad the door not to open or have them get crushed in the back seat but there i no way I hell that might happen
if i was to get a coup i proberly wouldnt use it for extra passengers in back ill just have a sedan aswell as a coupe then there would be no reason to carry passengers in the back of the coupe
the worst thing about infiniti today is the name changes. it's really messing ppl up that wouldn't otherwise look at the company. . go back to actual names instead of letters and numbers and I think people would gravitate towards them more. btw I love them g35 owner myself but I'm speaking for the general population
I hate it when designers create beautiful car with stunning front-end, and sleek grille then the license plate bracket is there to ruin it all. Terrible location for it as it covers like the bottom part of it.. darn.
+david dykeman couldn't agree more... but in Québec,Canada, we only have the plate at the back of the car.... so, no visual obstructions in the front... love it..
The only thing that throws me off on the styling is how that logo in the bumper has kind of a black plaque behind it. If it were just stuck directly on the grill that would look better to me.
While its no where close to the cadillac ATS coupe, BMW 4 Coupe, or Lexus RC in terms of interior materials, build quality, or Luxury you will pay more for those cars and it looks almost as good. Edit: at 62K+ the Cadillac ATS-V and Lexus RCF are better options but still, good job infiniti.
The RC-F has been a problematic car for Lexus so far and the Cadillac is still a Chevy, no matter how you put it. A better car from Lexus would be the GS-F since the V8 works much nicer with vehicles configuration. The Q60 is a great car in terms of its interior and exterior design and quality.
ssjMaximum22Goku cadillac (other than the escalade, XTS is getting killed off) uses all unique platforms, as well as suspensions, and interior architecture / materials.your chevy comment makes no sense. also its important to note the majority of audi products are from VWs.
styling wise, i didn't think infiniti could do better than the g37 coupe which was gorgeous. i was wrong. the q60 is absolutely stunning. especially in person.
I own this car, silver 3.0t. I'm in the casino business and work with a lot of Mercedes, Audi, BMW etc..owners. they've all drooled over it, and are looking at Infiniti now
Do you have adaptive steering and if so, do you like it?
Justin Dufrene - Do you live in a hot country?
The reason I am asking is because I use to own G37 coupe but the from panel interior would crack due to the sun and heat.
The weather can get up to 91 degrees here.
This is an amazing looking car. I have to disagree with those who are saying that the interior is not up to the competition. Look at Mercedes C class for an example.

Never liked Infiniti before, but their new cars are incredible.
Looks like you went for the "red pill".

Good to see a successor to the G coupe.
The baddest car on the road period
LOL you crazy

I drove one for a week. I LOVED IT. absolutely dazzling. Head neck stretching... BUT sips and gets very thirsty quickly !!. premium only
I'm looking to lease a new car and the 400hp for $50-55k USD is definitely a draw to Infiniti, in my eyes anyway. I'm comparing it to the A4, C300/43 amg, and the 340i.

finally starting to get some reviews on this car! Thanks great video
i live in Toronto, I only saw this car on the streets maybe a handful of times this year... its a head turner.
saw the red sport in person yesterday and I fell in love with the color and the car.
How come that you're always the first one to review coupes? Never saw a review of this car!
checkout Alex on autos, he does a excellent thorough review on this car as well as others.
Stunning exterior. Personally, I think the interior is just okay...I don't like that the top screen has much better graphics than the bottom. I think Infinity should scrap the dual screen model and just build one large, crisp screen. I'm surprised that you like Steer-by-wire.

It is possible to get a review of the Kia K900? I know it's not a very popular vehicle, but definitely a competitor to the Genesis and other luxury brands. Please and thank you.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I always thought the design ques of the earlier production was somewhat awkward...... But this is IT!!!
Cosmetics aside, What type of transmission does it have? Is it a dual clutch, does it shift well with this engine?
how will the interior hold up though? I see infiniti's price is becoming more and more premium. I hope the materials are doing the same!
this car it looks amazing ...i think its one of the most beautiful car
thanks for your reviews and scenery of Canada. I visited Niagara Falls in 1981. loved it. The prices of your cars are way below what they are here in Australia. Thanks Zack.
Anyone coming back to this video after it was originally posted please be aware that you can simply tune this car for 400+ WHP. The limits are nearly identical between
this and the Red Sport versions.
I so respect this reviewer. He's my favourite. 👍
Is this car small is it the same size like the bmw 4 series
Gorgeous looking car. I can already imagine it with tinted windows, darkened star spoke rims and darker tail lights.
Which color for the body?
How come he only has 70K subscribers? He has the best car review channel on RUclips and watch review as well! Lol
I can't wait... I am picking mine up tomorrow. OMG!
Which one did you buy? Let me know how it goes.
i got the q60 3.0l awd. these are the specs. Key Features
Includes all Q60 2.0t AWD standard equipment plus:
300-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6
Remote engine start
Heated Steering wheel and front seats
Semi -Aniline Premium Leather appointed seating
Infiniti InTouchTM with Navigation
BOSE® Performance Series Audio and BOSE® Centerpoint® simulated surround

i didnt see a need to get any other additions to it. for me this works perfect.
other than that. the car is fast. handles and drives amazing. wow! i spoke to my sales rep, he said, "it goes 0-100km/h in 5.7 sec with this engine".
Here in canada this package starts at 52K. im happy.
Infiniti Lover how much is it monthly?
sorry for the delay, i got caught up with work... because i got the second trime, i am paying $700 canadian a month
Infiniti Lover woah pricey for usd
Great review. I agree car looks great. I was disappointed when I decided I was going to buy a Q50, Consumer Reports rated it bad. The engine was good, but not much else. Every magazine or reviewer hated the steering so I decided against getting one. Need AWD where I live and have two kids so 4 door is a must right now.
This makes me more hyped for the next Nissan 370z. I what that turbo v6 in a sub 35,000 car.
but will it have a manual
incredible car, wish they made some of the interior a little bit more fancy, but non the less, its still an amazing car
Infiniti did an amazing job with the Q60.
Lol reviewers always hate on Infiniti except this guy he stans
I want to love it, but I just cant get myself to like the styling. This is my favorite class of cars though, they make a lot more sense than true sports cars.
+Jeff K..... you know what ?? go and testdrive it.... great car.... (I have the 4 door AWD 2014) I get a lot of compliments from people.....
It’s pretty
@motormouthcanada Zac do you know, is this on the same platform/chasis as the prior gen? I think it was called the FM chasis
4:25 So, I should get an Infiniti if I want to stick it where I want it? :)
Lol! Short answer, Yes! :P
i agree, get it... lol
David Singer 😂😂😂
David Singer bruh 😂😂
I want this car I really like it...😍😍😍😍😍
Sindy-Hle Mvelase i just bought one yesterday and I absolutely LOVE IT!! I HIGHLY recommend it!
I love this unique beautiful design car just start in "I" for "INFINITI".😊😍
zack, I'm so confused now. right now you praise this Q60 but Kelly Blue Book criticized it. now I'm so confused whose review is most credible and reliable. I always value your review and your words. KKK hated the adaptive steering system.
They couldn't update the inside more? They know it will sell since a huge percentage of people buy cars on looks alone. But it's the same thing, new wrapper and dropped a v6 for the same price.
The appearance of the new Q60 begs the question: why did they terminate the A pillar at the ridiculous crease on the hood? It should have blended into the hood ...to avoid the "muffin-top" effect they ultimately ended up with.
... SOclose!
I'm clicking the picture on the left for the Q50 review. It just pause the video. hehe :p
This car is really, really beautiful.
If Acura and Infiniti don't get their act together within a short period of time. Say 10 years or so. The newly launched Genesis luxury brand will overpass them in sales as soon as their lineup is fleshed out of course.
Infiniti seems to make way more progress than acura does
RayzaBlayz They change brand direction so often it's hard for them to gain sales.
Nobody respects Hyundai
nice review. I am picking up the red sport this weekend
perhaps you don't know much about cars ...do u know lexus RCF offers 467hp and best in class ??
3:49 With down pipes and a tune you get 425 WHP on the 300hp model
Resurrect the Infiniti brand? Infiniti has had their best years ever in 2015 then again in 2016, before this coupe even came out.
So did Infinity copy paste Hyundai or the opposite!
Excellent Video🔥👍🏽
just recently got this same car and I noticed that when i have it in Bluetooth mode connected to my Samsung S7 edge it'll start playing at a normal volume then about 3 seconds later get quieter. Subsequently i have to turn up the volume way higher on bluetooth to get the equivalent in SXM. Is there a specific setting doing this or has anybody else noticed this?
Nice styling. I do wish they made it a hatch back (sort of like the Audi TT) so you'd get a little more utility out of it.
Excellent Video!
does it have a top speed limiter? it annoys me that my GTI won't go faster than 127mph because of speed limiter. I want freaking car reach to at least 150mph
Cornelius: Unless you track the car, what possible difference can it make.?
Yeah, to merge or pass, the acceleration of a car like this is wonderful compared to the GLACIAL acceleration of, say, a Corolla. (Disclosure, I have a 2013 G37, but the principle is the same).
However, unless you want to lose your license or maybe get jailed, or even kill someone, where in the US public road system would you conceive of going well over 100 mph?
new twin turbo engines get top 10 award from WardsAuto
Amazing review, i subscribed :)
I love how this car looks. Especially in white or black. Looks much better than the Q50 (more muscular and aggressive looking). But does anyone else think these new Infinitis look like Mazdas? Lol
I got a G35 coupe and Q50 Sedan and now I can't to find a slightly use Q60 Red Sport about two years from now for a great deal. The ONLY thing I don't like is the new name Q60 why not G35 or G37 or G30 TT?
kempowarrior Infiniti got rid of the G name all together and replaced it with Q, plus your complaint about the name is pretty stupid anyways
T. Bigums
I know Infiniti change the name from a G to Q and how is it stupid? I have a valid point, why spend all the money promoting a new name when the G name is already establish with a huge followers.
And just in case you are to Stupid to know the G35 is call the Skyline GT350 in Japan.
T. Bigums: I hear you. When I wanted a sporty fun car for weekends, I first looked for the Infiniti G series, because I always wanted one but never wanted to spend the money while I was working.
When I saw they were gone, I almost skipped Infiniti altogether, not realizing they'd just renamed things, and not liking the prices of the Q50 new.
To me that was stupid. I guess with the internet, people who actually care can figure things out, but throwing away that whole line of tradition and quality and car fan devotion seems like madness.
Q60 look beautiful with black , sliver or red colors
I still decide which car should I get 428i or Q60
Ty John the q60 won't disappoint you go driven one
Eustace well than you death because it's basically the 3.7 but way quieter
It's funny how no one buys inifiniti's 😂😂 but they are good looking performers
Much much sexier than the new Audi and even Lexus RC imo.
Great review.
love my q60
This should be like the time when the G35 coupe came out back in 2003. If at 2016/2017 a Q60 top line is at 400 hp, ..it should put out something like a 3.5 lt. tt at 450-470 hp, ..400/450 tq within 1-3 yrs. (depending on sales I suppose). Then eventually a 3.7 lt. tt (@ 500+ hp. within 5-10 yrs). For now, I'm still happy with my G37X coupe (had it for 3 yrs. now), always have the option for FI and Tuner incase...
Unless you're going to track the car, does it really matter much? I have a G37X too, and enjoy the car, especially the performance. I love accelerating to 60 quickly on county roads, but after that quick burst, that power just burns gas.
In fact, on similar roads, after the rather glacial pace to get to 60 mph, my daily driver 2015 Corolla is often more comfortable and handles the turns, etc. just about as well, as long as it's dry.
I would like to see dynos for the red sport. My guess is the BMW 440i (depsite being rated at 80 less hosrpower) makes similar power to the rear wheels.
it's very nice,but I still love my G37s convertible.
Drove the 2.0t RWD for a day. Nice car for the price but engine and engine sound was not sporty enough. I also didn't like the totally new fully electric steering which changes the feedback quite often and suddenly while driving. You don't feel the street at all. Power is enough but you expect sth way more sporty with that design and don't wanna lose against a 2.0l BMW diesel family car, which you will. I would like to drive the 405hp version without electric steering if available.
no paddle shifters?
Infinitis have been surprisingly expensive for the past decade or so, when they've fallen behind in many areas. This is not substantially different from the old G37 sedans that were driving off lots in the US for $34K well equipped a few years back.
The plate's holder ruins the amazing front of the vehicle
This makes the four door look like POO. Never wanted a Infiniti until now but I will say infiniti best looking cars have always been their coupes
Good reviewer !
Does it have Apple Carplay / Android Auto?
no, luxury cars tend not to have those. Those are really made for lower end cars, as it doesn't add to the premium feel a luxury is supposed to have. having Apple or Android play would only blur the lines. Don't expect it anytime soon.
Couldn't be further off luxury cars already do and/or are adding Apple CarPlay in the 2017 models... Audi, BMW, Ferrari,Mercedes Bentley, Porsche.
Jacob Robert Gray the infiniti brand is indeed in the category of luxury. Whether you like it or not is a different story. So you're wrong there, sorry.
As for car play being added to the above stated brands, did you fact check at all? Because before I go any further, I'd like to know if you're just one of those guys who will argue just for the sake of arguing, thus, being a waste of time. If you did indeed fact check, please enlighten me on your sources. Because I will correct you
lol I think you're looking for an argument bud I never said Infiniti wasn't a luxury car brand I actually like them. Spent 25 seconds on apple.com is that good enough for you?
Kripple Hippo are you going to correct me? Ive been really interested in hearing how I'm wrong.
Very elegant!
TBH I don't find these as attractive as the competition. And the interior already looks dated IMO.
Mozart Lalanne the exterior design is nice for me, but yeah the interior is old and repetitive
can you make review of Nissan Maxima 2017 Zack?
Other than the exterior and additional screen there's not really much difference from the G37. I'd need more to get sold this vehicle.
wow and great price
I stick it where I want it 😏 I'm drunk right now 😂😂
Will end up on used car dealerships on Kingsway in East Van and in Surrey in no time. Usually with chrome aftermarket wheels and cigarette-burnt seats.
Only i can dream that...
There’s some listings around my area for 31k with 14 thousand miles on the dash if it gets below the 30k by the end of the year I might just buy it
Beautiful
I'd get an rc350 f sport instead but good effort infiniti
how is it underpowered if the q60 has roughly the same 0 to 60 time and just 15 or so more torque and 6 HP less. (the equivalent q60). lexus has a smoother ride, more refined luxury, more reliable, holds its price better and has superb customer service.
This car would shit on a RC350 F-Sport. Twin-turbo v6 with 300hp, more torque, and it's lighter. RC350 F-Sport is supposed to go against Q60 Red Sport but it doesn't have the power. BMW 340i/440i, Infiniti Q50/60 Red Sport, Mercedes c450amg, and Audi S4/S5 are the way to go. Lexus IS350 F-Sport or RC350 F-Sport performance is garbage.
RC350 F Sport is definitely not suppose to go up against the red sport. Despite the RC F being heavy af, it will shit on the red sport. Not to mention it's way more reliable than any car in its class.
You need to learn more about these cars. RC-F go against M4, RS5, and C63AMG coupe. Infiniti doesn't have a car to compete against these four. Q60 Red Sport go against the new BMW 440i Msport, Mercedes C450 amg-sport which is going to be C43 amg for 2017, the Audi S4, and Lexus RC350 F-Sport. Lexus is underpowered because they did not upgrade their engines, they're still using the same 3.5L v6.
Ok fair enough. Until Infiniti has a car to compete with m4, rc f, c63, we can't compare them. Lexus does need to update it's V6 engine line up. But my point was if you compare RC 350 F Sport vs Infiniti Q60 3.0t (300hp), the lexus in my opinion is a much better car. As for red sport, it won't be fair to compare it to the RC 350 until it updates it's engines. I'll admit that.
3:49 "you cant just upgrade this engine to get 400hp" 😂 my 2017 non red sport 3.0t begs to differ. I have 440hp to the wheels. That's almost 500hp coming from the engine. Tell me again how you can't upgrade this engine to get 400hp?
Average drivetrain loss is 15%, so its closer to 471 at the crank
Gosh this a sharp car!
Nice interior, drives well, exterior feels like it's trying too hard.
awesome looking but God I hate the interior...
John Moon things look completely different on camera if you just sit in the car it's pretty big in the front and the two screens are good in sunlight idk why people are bashing it
Awesome car
whats the point in back seats might aswell get a sedan it does look good tho
Des M well for insurance or like every other coupes kids but if you have some one under 5'5 they will actually fit back there leg room is really good for its class
not safe if someone crashes and no way out with no back door
Des M well in order for than to happen you would need to wreck the vehicle extremely badly in order for the seats not to move forward nad the door not to open or have them get crushed in the back seat but there i no way I hell that might happen
if i was to get a coup i proberly wouldnt use it for extra passengers in back ill just have a sedan aswell as a coupe then there would be no reason to carry passengers in the back of the coupe
the worst thing about infiniti today is the name changes. it's really messing ppl up that wouldn't otherwise look at the company. . go back to actual names instead of letters and numbers and I think people would gravitate towards them more. btw I love them g35 owner myself but I'm speaking for the general population
I hate it when designers create beautiful car with stunning front-end, and sleek grille then the license plate bracket is there to ruin it all. Terrible location for it as it covers like the bottom part of it.. darn.
Michael Lee people who buy this car could care less about the license plate placement...
T. Bigums Oh, they could? My point exactly.
+david dykeman couldn't agree more... but in Québec,Canada, we only have the plate at the back of the car.... so, no visual obstructions in the front... love it..
same here in pennsylvania we only need the back plates so my q50 looks better than my friends who's in NY lol
Benny Chan
LOL.....
If you want to buy it for half the price just wait until it gets 1 year old. I bought my 2015 q50 for $26 and it had 28000 miles on it
The car would look great without that giant infinity sign in the grill.
The only thing that throws me off on the styling is how that logo in the bumper has kind of a black plaque behind it. If it were just stuck directly on the grill that would look better to me.
A lot of companies are using the logos to hide their safety systems. I suspect there's a radar system or camera behind that plaque.
It does exactly that!
YZRandomE mine doesn't have the plaque. The technology package used the plaque thing.
While its no where close to the cadillac ATS coupe, BMW 4 Coupe, or Lexus RC in terms of interior materials, build quality, or Luxury you will pay more for those cars and it looks almost as good. Edit: at 62K+ the Cadillac ATS-V and Lexus RCF are better options but still, good job infiniti.
Lexus has the opposite problem imo, very nice interiors but ugly exteriors.
The RC-F has been a problematic car for Lexus so far and the Cadillac is still a Chevy, no matter how you put it. A better car from Lexus would be the GS-F since the V8 works much nicer with vehicles configuration. The Q60 is a great car in terms of its interior and exterior design and quality.
and a lexus is still a toyota, an infiniti is still a nissan. so what's the point?
ssjMaximum22Goku cadillac (other than the escalade, XTS is getting killed off) uses all unique platforms, as well as suspensions, and interior architecture / materials.your chevy comment makes no sense. also its important to note the majority of audi products are from VWs.
