In some ways this new Q60 is a distant relative to Datsun 240. Even though Skyline is more of a Prince than a Datsun.

 

Uh oh

 

Hello guy I was on the GTR forums reading and found this link to the new Q60..

Heres the link: Click on the Blue..

Infiniti's Q60 Concept - The Next Skyline GT - Auto Industry - GT-R LIFE - NAGTROC - MEGTROC - SGGTROC - GT-R Life

 

I remember the first time I saw this. It was in a Food Lion parking lot

It was just so beautiful and different for 2003.

 

On the fence about the looks, side profile reminds me a lot of the Genesis coupe. They definitely went aggressive with the styling, G37 was so much more tame.

 

KAHBOOM, I agree with you that the rear view is nice, however the exhaust practically follows the same lines as the tail lights which takes away from the upper rear and gives the rear a monotonous feel, they need to create some contrast by rounding or squaring the exhaust, I personally would round out the exhaust and that would breakaway from the sharp geometric angles of the overall design. Would a centered exhaust look better? or is that too blatant a Ferrari rip-off?

 

The current Q50 and Q70 have the same basic layout in the rear, maybe the production Q60 will be the same.

A silver bar connecting the tail lights that reads "Infiniti" and a silver bar below where the license plate would go. The Infiniti symbol above the top silver bar and model badge on the upper right-hand side.

Also, round, non integrated tailpipes, and the little lights integrated into the bumper cover. Just my speculation.

 

I agree with you on the exhaust... Needs rounded tips and remove the integration with the bumper... Ohh center exhaust would be hawt!

 

That's my biggest gripe, too.

And while a center exhaust could be hot, the exhaust on the Caddy ATS isn't a bad design. Not quite center, but not at the corners either.

 

Things that wont make it to production :

1) Flush wheels
2) Ride height
3) Glass roof
4) White leather
5) Exhaust tips and bumper integration (It was on the last Coupe Concept, and it didnt make it)
6) GT-R front fender
7) Tiny side mirrors
8) Door handles
9) White light glow in the interior
10) Drilled rotors
11) Brakes

 

I agree with most of what you are saying, integrated exhaust tips were on G37 concept and never made it to production. But drilled rotors and new brakes might make it as part of S package. Calipers don't look like Akebonos, I wonder what they are.

 

They are Brembo brakes from the GTR.

No reason for the wheels and the brakes not to make it into the sport package The 21 inches they can make their optional sport of great and keep the 20s as standard

 

Nissan is still using the Akebono 4-piston BBK on the Q50S... so I highly doubt they'd be using 6-piston Brembos on the Q60S. However, the point of observation isn't lost, that the Brembo calipers are more sexy than Akebono.

Maybe if they come out with an IPL.

 

4 Piston Akebono on the Sport 6MT and 6 Piston Brembo on the IPL

All I know is....they better put dat steering wheel on the Sport!

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Infiniti has Brembos on the Q60S. The coupe usually gets the good stuff first as the 07-08 G35S sedan just had some generic sport brakes.

Infiniti introduced the VQ37 and the Akebonos on the 08 G37 coupe and added those items to the 09 G37S sedan a year later.
