Rightfully so...since they are god f*cking awful spy shots.

January just cant come any sooner.

 

I doubt it. Have you ever noticed that a lot of car spy shots are often not seen until a couple of months or a few weeks before the official reveal? Detroit is only about 6 weeks out so these shots stir buzz (like this thread) in advance of the product reveal in those that are interested in such things. I don't think it's all that damaging. I think it's free publicity. Kind of like the Q50 shots that were "accidentally" posed on the Canadian Infiniti website for an hour or so then quickly taken down. But not before they were screen captured in all their hi res glory and shown to the world on this very forum. I think this is as accidental as a "leaked" Kim Kardashian sex tape.

 

Oh my....

Stunning 2017 Infiniti Q60 Caught Uncovered - Motor Trend

Twin turbo V-6.

The production model looks even better than the protos!

I might have to say good by to the extra doors.

Poor man's GTR.

 

I like the front and the side. Not so sure of the back. Something about the rear reminds me of a mercury sable. Lol

 

I agree but more of a mix of the 2014 accord coupe and the new s class coupe lol I also wonder will the q50 get a turbo upgrade or keep the NA 3.7

 

I agree and have mentioned this in a few other posts myself; it just does't look proportional to me.

However, those thin horizontal lights both front and rear seem to be a styling cue used on most new cars. To be honest, it may be one of those things we look back on 10 years from now and say "that looks very 2015ish". That's why I believe the outgoing design (gen1-3), while somewhat long in the tooth, will remain a classic. Simple things tend not to excite people as much when they are introduced, but end up destined to become classics.

For now, I can look past the questionable rear and admire the rest of the car.

Keep your fingers crossed that Infiniti does not enter the reliability trap that normally accompanies the move to a turbo from NA. Again, while not almost the most efficient/sexy, simple is undeniably the most reliable approach.

 

I am hoping they put this motor into the Q50.

 

They are.

It will be available next year starting in February. Why do you think the 2016's are not displayed on the website. :-D

Its currently called "Q50 H.O" (High Output) on dealer salesmen sheets.

There will be two versions. a 300HP one and a 400HP model.

The 400HP will be available in Iridium Blue.

You can literally call up your dealer and place an order for one right now, although there is no price set currently.

 

This is a bit confusing since the Coupe's HP was mentioned as 375, so I cannot imagine the sedan would exceed the coupe? Also, the Coupe is slated for 2017. Would they bring the new powertrain to market on the sedan first? This would seemingly deflate any sense of marketing advantage for the Coupe, which is more of a flagship brand (and premium price point) for Infiniti as compared to the more utilitarian sedan. Just thinking aloud. Their marketing group has made alot of poor decisions in the past.

It does however seem that if you throw a "twin-turbo" into the car, you need to at least be at 400hp to justify the complexity/expense.

Our current NA models can do 330hp without blinking an eye. 375hp does not seem as much of a jump as compared to 400.

0-60 times in the mid to low 4s and at least 20mpg? Utopia :-)

 

2016 Infiniti Q50 3.0t Red Sport Price With Options: Build and Price this vehicle and get MSRP, Invoice Price, and Free Dealer Price Quotes - The Car Connection


Both coupe and sedan will have the same engine choices. I guess since the engines are ready for implant, the car that sells the most (Q50 Sedan) gets it first.

Best believe the "mid-tier" 300HP 3.0L TT V6 model will smoke the current 3.7L V6.

 

That's funny, because I like the side and the tails, but not the front. That said, those little, finned rear bumper trim pieces at the corners seem dumb, existing solely to satisfy a visual design intent.

My next car is 5 to 6 years out, but this is still on the list. Assuming there's a 6MT available. If not, this car is dead to me, LOL.

 

Packages have been moved around as well.

DAS is a standalone option and is necessary for the Technology package.

 

Well I was thinking of jumping ship for the Jag XE, but I think I'll have to go ahead and purchase a 3.0T Q50 in the next 2-3 years.

 

There not up anymore except here is all i know.

 

is it just me or does the rear look slouched and squished? I loved the concept, but this not so much. Maybe it just needs to be seen/heard in person...
