2017 Infiniti Q60 Coupe debuts with 400-hp V6 - Autoblog
looks like Infiniti brand loyalists are SOL if a 3rd pedal is a must. if they brought in an engaging dual-clutch that may keep a few of us around. otherwise, going German or ATS-V seems to be the only route, albeit for a higher sticker price.

^ i'm sure eljoker knows more, but my dealer said different turbos, turbo speed sensors, exhaust, tune. and also different wheels. aside from the red S and different wheels though there is no visual cues. the 300hp can be had with all the same Sport equipment as the RS400. the RS400 also comes with illuminated kickplates standard, at least in Canada. big whoop, these are an available accessory on all other Q50s.

As far as I know, 2 water pumps on the RS400 and optical turbo sensors. Im not sure on the exhaust but maybe that Gatling gun tips. If I could get a damn 3.0t here I could get it on the lift and try to decipher what else is on it.

I suspect that once EcuTek gets a hold of the car, we'll see that the 300hp variant will offer some great bang for the buck. I think the block will easily be capable of 550-600hp.
If you don't mind having the 7AT, these are fascinating times to be a Q owner.

Wold be really interested if there is any difference other than visual, if turbos are the same the only difference is boost pressure, that's a easy choice to go the 300HP version then just tune it, Heck for 10K less
An what was that old Boost=HP logic? 1 PSI + 15 HP?

Unless they have changed it since this was published in the US the base prices are:
RWD: $48,855
AWD: $50,855
400-HP Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 Starts at $48,855 ? News ? Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog
Which if I could get a brand new Q50 RS400 for $48k with heated sport seats, paddle shifters, and the sport pack w/ adaptive suspension. That is a pretty good bargain in my opinion.
