2017 Infiniti Q60 Sports Coupe Priced From $38,950 In The US

Car looks good, wish they had a manual, hopefully the z35 will cover that

Very reasonable prices. Of course they don't have the prices for the red sport version yet, as that is the only one I am focused on getting.

Alright - the call signs are here.

The omission of the Red Sport guise from the pricing model (and subsequent delayed availability) really points to something else going on here, and I'm betting that has to do with a platform sharing of some sort... with some sports car whose namesake is the final letter of the alphabet.

Think about it... why else delay it? The Q60 is already going to go on sale in two other trims, and the powertrain from the Red Sport is already on the lots in the Q50.

The delay has to do with the announcement of the 2018 Z. I'm going with my gut on this!

Or maybe you're reading too much into it not are forgetting that Nissan always has a 5 or 6 month delay for the highest performance model. The 2009 Z debuted for sale late February that year.The Nismo debuted mid-August that year. Red sport is the old IPL.

I agree up until the end. The red sport is just the sport model basically. There was talk in the beginning of bumping the power to possibly 450 and added aero possibly upgraded seats.

That is perhaps the best possible follow-up meme I have ever seen on this board.

RicerX · 07-29-2016, 06:12 PM

But neither of those cars were shown in production guise at the same time as the base model cars... Unlike the Red Sport. I'm sticking to it! Haha

Q60 exhaust sound.... Great sound but needs work.

Sounds pretty lame tame to me, leaves much to be desired. Guess its par for the course when your main clientele is over the age of 65 lol.

That's why I said it needs work. But I can hear in the undertone. The aftermarket will make it sound hot. Right now it sounds like a high revving Alton's

Couple questions on the AWD vs RWD if anyone knows the answer. Is the suspension the same on both, same height, same tuning (the G generation was not), and how is the AWD activated? From an Infiniti release it said it was 100% to the rear "unless conditions or a loss of traction is detected". Other than a loss of traction what other conditions are monitored?

it's the same Attesa ETS style used on previous AWD Skylines and G's. it monitors wheel speed and wheel slip percentage. based on which wheels have the most traction it will transfer power where it can be best used. this helps keep the car pointed where you want it to go and helps you drive straight in slippery road conditions. (snow / mud)

The suspension and everything is exactly the same between the two. The RWD sits at 54.5 while AWD sits at 54.9, so pretty much negligible. I plan the get the AWD version as it will be better at putting the power down.

I keep seeing people post pictures of the car on facebook and every time they say "the pictures dont do it justice"

Is it just me or if people have to say that every time pics are posted, that means infiniti kinda failed at the overall design of the body? I said a few times to just stop posting pics if it doesnt make the car look good.

I personally dont like the car at all even though I was waiting for the redesign for a couple years to buy in 2018. Even trying to like it, it just wont happen. I dont dispute anything under the hood but the exterior is a complete miss.

Then again, it was this car or a used RCF in 2018...and we all know how many people dont care for the RCF. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
