floors it @ 1:45. I do like the sound on the inside, even if it's coming from the speakers

It looks like you can now build the Q60 on the Infiniti website. Though the Red Sport is not listed yet.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the "exhaust" you hear is artificial. They have gone the way of the Germans and they pump it thru the speakers.

Looks like a carbon fiber package and carbon fiber spoiler are an option. Curious as to what that looks like as haven't seen any pics of it.

Just read through it. I am thinking there are a couple of typos. For example the rear track for the Red Sport is shorter than all the others. And the standard rear suspension- I think the dots to show to which model it belongs got moved up a line.

Other than that some things I noted were the optional rear spoiler.

I also found it interesting that they are offering an illuminated front emblem. I'm wondering if that will be too much. the car is already chromed out like crazy lol.

I noticed that there are dual transmission coolers for the red sport. I am thinking that they are thinking this drive-train will run on the warm side.

The spec I like the least however is the 57/43 weight distribution in RWD and 58/42 in AWD ...
Perhaps they try to make up for that with firmer rear stabilizer bars but that's getting a bit nose heavy verses the previous generations. The G35 and G37 were 53/47 and 54/46 respectively. It will be interesting to see how the new Q60 handles

For me, Hendrix yes, fake exhaust note, no.

The rear spoiler and carbon fiber package intrigue me, but I would need to see it in person to make a final decision. The illuminated emblem option is a no go for me as I like a stealthy night look and I glowing emblem would ruin that. Plus I hate it on other auto makers and wouldn't like it on Infiniti.

Just built out a 3.0t Premium with the options I'd be interested in (and some where I don't have a choice and the price came out to $57,335. That's an additional $13K just for options. ****, think I just got pushed back into the BMW camp. At these prices, a Red Sport is going to be well into the 60K range. Used certified pre-owned BMW M4 anyone?

I think however that some of the options you may have built into the 3.0t Premium may already come standard on the Red Sport.

But I am with you- if sufficiently optioned the Red Sport pushes into the 60s... that puts it in competition with an higher category of car.
