Yeah that's the thing, their power ratings end up being pretty close to their WHP numbers. That, and they work magic with their gear ratios and shock damping, so they seem to get all they can out of their power/weight. Japanese cars always seem to leave a lot on the table. So by the numbers, they might be similar, but we'll see what the comparisons show.

 

2016 Infiniti Q50 Priced From $33,950, Twin-Turbo V6 Models Coming Later This Year

Here's a little bit more news about the q50 pricing.. Hybrid RWD @ $47,050. I'd expect the Red Sport q50 to be around 50k - 52k? Now you can probably guess around where the q60 will be priced.

 

^^^^I want the elusive Q50 Hybrid FWD that they talk about.

 

VR production just started...

I am curious...what are they going to do to "compete" with AMG and M? That is GTR territory and historically car companies have not wanted more than one car in the same category to fight competitors. This is why the Firebird got canned before they killed Pontiac all together. They chose the Camero as the golden child and the better looking Firebird had to go. If they made a Q60 to fight those powerhouses but at a severe fraction of the cost of the competitor AND the GTR then Nissan would lose buyers for the GTR. With that said, the GTR being the budget supercar, its place is firmly planted in Nissan. How do they really plan to create an Infiniti to compete with AMG & M without stepping on Godzilla's toes?

 

Well, lest we forget, the current GTR will likely be going bye-bye within a year or two, so perhaps the next GTR incarnation will be an electric/gas hybrid that will obviously be priced in the stratosphere? Although it's likely there may be 2 versions of the GTR, hybrid and non. So ANY Infiniti may not be competing with it. I do like this little tidbit he states:

"The IPL was our first effort," St. Clair said. "The Red S will be our new performance package."

That should put to rest the belief, by some here, that there is going to be an IPL version of the Q60.

 

My 08 has a Red S on it...is this some new rebranding?

 

My 2010 is a Red Sport too. LoL

 

LONGER1

 

Pretty cool commercial. Good to see they are starting to advertise more. Usually not a fan of blue, but it looks pretty good on the Q50. Can't wait to see what the Q60 looks like in different colors.

I hope they don't pump synthetic engine noise through the coupes speakers

 

^^^Yes...that would suck!

 

lol at the synthesized engine notes, enough with this crap already

 

Glad it sounds like they fixed the issues with the DAS this time around and that they mentioned there was no turbo lag! The optical sensors in the 400 sport sound impressive. Seems like Infiniti did good job with the 400 sport Q50, makes me more excited to see how the Q60 performs!

 

two turbo setup so it should have very little turbo lag, that's good.

Still longevity is a question mark.

Now if it is light then awesome, if heavy (like 3900+) then it would defeat the purpose of a tt instead of a V8.
