Short Report Sport Red Q60 2017 400 is the stuff of Infiniti.
Let's turn the dial almost 16 years to June 2001.
Lady Marmalade has topped the summer charts, and Americans could not get enough of this new show of the hot reality survivor Rudy Giuliani had yet become a household name.
Infiniti wowed luxury coupe buyers with the G35 all the way back in 2001, and strong sales followed But after years of stagnation, is the Infiniti brand savior again a sexy cut.
Meanwhile, the Toyota Supra was at the tail end of his legendary production cycle, Lexus SC was about to turn a tail-happy, midsize coupe with an optional V8 hardtop power bloated for geriatric South, the Prelude was Honda has been axed and the Acura Integra RSX turned in, not for long either.
It seemed decades romance with the pleasure of America, tossable Japanese cut was over, trampled by storm truck-based sport utility vehicles and the continued rise of small sedans and medium businesses affordable two doors were on their way, and the public conduct was worse for her.
The Q60 is available in two basic flavors and S trim but the Red Sport 400 has the same S badging the model that has 100 horses under a disservice to this powertrain hoarse.
But from the shadows, a savior burst with a pair of high-revving, utility pleased platform mates folded keep the fun alive and reminds us all why we fell in love with these oddballs of East first.
Nissan's new Infiniti G35 and Nissan 370Z in the year to the other, with a V6 at high speed and rear-wheel drive platform designed to keep the fun alive in the segment cut staff, and take the battle commitment to lead directly to the heart of BMW luxury market.
And guess what he works Infiniti sales almost doubled from 2001 to 2004, reaching their highest rating ever for the brand, but record year last year for most companies, and the G35 was to thank for most luxury car buyers finally had a real rival to the Germans in the department handling and performance of Japan, and he showed no signs of slowing.
Although sales of coupes and sedans are dying for sport utility vehicles, the Infiniti car must restart his heart comes with only two doors.
Fast forward a decade and a half, though, and we're back to square one with Infiniti fluctuated from year to year turnover of the company, and while the Q50 sedan is one of three best compact luxury cars bestseller, the brand was once a real Japanese BMW has largely lost sight of its identity, ready many of its best models and technologies to soaring Nissan brand.
But as in 2001 again, a roaring, sexy coupe is just what the doctor ordered to inject life back directly into the Infiniti range, and the car finally arrived in the form of the Q60 beautiful in all angles, in charge of technology, and now with up to 400 horsepower or all-against-the-wheel drive, Infiniti finally has a car worth coveting more, so I took the keys from the top model of the Red Cross Sport 400 for a few days to see if it magically save mark was back after all, or if it is back to the drawing board.
Luxury Manufacturers take note of is the way you design a coupe.
The wide grille and wraparound LED are aggressive-yet-elegant touch, and keep that Infiniti to be as showy as some of its main competitors.
Court of Lamborghinis, Aston Martin, and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat dressed in Stormtrooper from Star Wars, I can not remember a car as me made me turn heads and thumbs like Q60.
Wherever I was driving, car fans were craning their necks for a glimpse of the sexy red cut, and frankly, I can not say I blame designers Infiniti absolutely nailed with it, capture the same curvy curiousness which makes us love the G35 coupe back in the day.
The Q60 is broad and low, without having to resort to fender flares and gaping air intakes to have a presence like BMW M Division is now, and the massive grille is chrome lined as aggressive as it is elegant, not to mention the LED wasp wings at the rear, the taillights echo the deft brush strokes of Japanese calligraphy, and the whole rear end is shrinking and center, giving the whole car a tilted forward position and feel crouched and ready to pounce.
I could do without the side blades and chrome window trim, but the good news is that the element arrow C pillar and rear window finally work very well together and serve to emphasize the drama of this car in its together.
The interior is a pleasant place to spend time as well, with a large dark mixture of plastic, beautiful Metal trim woven leather and light to keep things visually interesting.
And if you put your hard earned money on a Q60 in the near future, please get in an interesting color This car demands to be finished in a brilliant hue, and the work of Sunstone vibrant red paint is one of my favorites on a car with tons of depth and sparkle like jewels it, even if it costs an extra 800.
Fortunately, Infiniti didn t blow full budget design outside as the interior is one of the coolest booths I saw on a car of modern Japanese luxury, even if it is a bit dated next door the bat's infotainment screens stacked already look old, but works well once you get used to them, and some of the equipment should have been left at the door, but the sweeping curves woven fiber pads and aluminum light leather create an airy and comforting cabin, even for a car with high performance aspirations like this.
If I had a problem with the Red Q60 Sport 400s seem, it is in general it looks too at a Q60 four-cylinder that could be interpreted as praise for Infiniti designers and product planners to do not leave the base car look like a special charter fleet, but the top model deserves to stand out a little don t you think.
This may sound a little unassuming from the rest of the range Q60, but this particular coupe 400 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6, and it is for blood.
Did I mention this thing is very fast because, holy shit, it's really fast.
The red model 400 Sport gets a hotter flavor of new twin-turbo V6 3 0 liters Infiniti, the less powerful version ringing in 300 horsepower and 295 lb -ft of torque.
As the name indicates, however, the Red Sport version gets a 400 horsepower, with 350 lb -ft of torque to go with her, and she reached that extra boost thanks to a pretty smart consumption and Engineering exhaust manifold, which takes the intercoolers water based and places them on top of the motor for a more effective inflow, and merges the flow of exhaust gas in the cylinder head, rather than the manifold, which reduces engine temperature and using the time of the decrease in coil for both small turbochargers.
All this is good for 80 horsepower more than you get from the BMW 440i and only 25 less than the M4 reference to several thousand dollars or several million yen less than the Bavarians the same feature.
The heart of the Red Sport 400 is a twin-turbo V6 3 0 liters makes 400 horsepower and 350 lb -ft of torque, a full 80 hp more than the equivalent BMW 440i.
This rich powertrain is routed to the rear or all four wheels via an automatic transmission 7 reports that cycles through gears happily and rapidly when left to itself, but hesitate when it has asked to do by the steering wheel paddle shifters in all -wheel-drive trim my test car was equipped with all 400 ponies are grounded fervently pushing it a bit heavy cut along 60 miles per hour in less than 5 seconds, top of its class and behind the AMGs and Ms segment.
With powertrain and other management functions, the Q60 will let you have your way too, providing Snow driving modes which came into practice during the snowstorm there two weeks ago all the way up Sport, which strengthens all and increases the responsiveness of the engine and transmission, I left almost everything in the sport most of the time for a little extra kick, as the basic setting was like he was not really make justice the engine.
The only disappointment this powertrain gave me was the lack of outright fury emanating from the exhaust pipes Infinitis are famous for their groaning its 6 cylinders, and all Turbos often calm much of the drama associated with the suction motor noise natural, I still could not help but wish for an active exhaust system that would really let the engine sing It sounds great in full acceleration, but too quiet at the end for a car with 400 horsepower and seriously need a little more oomph.
Live by the steering system, die by the steering system.
The powertrain Q60 comes with its steering system drive-by-wire, which can dial a different weight ratios, but without any feedback, something essential for a sporty driving experience.
The Q60 I tested for the week was equipped with the system much maligned director DAS Direct Adaptive first debuted on the Q50 sedan, and while the Infiniti spokesmen have assured us that the re-vamped version found here solves many of the problems with the first iteration, I'm not sure they're telling the whole truth.
The DAS system substantially eliminates any mechanical connection between steering wheel and front wheels store a redundant system in case of the vehicle's power is turned off while driving, instead of opting for a cable transmission system controlled by computer which allows theoretically almost endless reports of management and configurations between the extremes want the relationship between the steering rack Mazda Miata in the corners, but a Lincoln Continental on the roads the Q60 can theoretically.
However, the question arises, in fact, using this steering system, as you can dial a number and the full weight of the close relationship you want in the configurable parameters, but when you are actually deep into a corner there is hardly any feedback from the road at all, as the system cancels basically it with millions of calculations and calibrations second.
Drivers can dial in the seemingly endless drive modes and configurations of the steering and suspension, but none of those which are used to correct the lack of engagement of the rack robotic direction.
This makes the Q60 player like a video game in many ways and a video game, over 60,000, this and all praise be overwhelmed to effectively hold a corner and with minimal drama, a lot of commitment and feeling visceral you get from piloting a sports coupe on winding roads is lost in translation.
Everything serves to Q60 numbness or isolation especially when coupled with the distant exhaust note and the high dose of the driver assistance technology and despite the extra power and drop dead good looks, there were a number of luxury cuts that I found myself wishing that I was holding the steering wheel instead.
The good news is that the Infiniti adaptive suspension system is excellent, ranging from compliance with cutthroat according to your preferences, and used to make this as efficient car of a grand tourer as it is a canyon carver or at least try to 'be.
The Q60 is not yet at the top of its class, but it is a strong return to form of a brand that desperately needs a sign of life.
The Q60 is a luxury sports coupe that is fast, beautiful and dignified luxury, but not quite attractive enough to be regarded as the reincarnation of the Japanese BMW What's more, over 62 000 for the car I l 've tested, it is not exactly a bargain either, although if you view as more of a competitor M4 somewhat slower and less extreme, Red Sport 400 makes a lot more sense.
What Infiniti has managed to do, however, is injecting life into a range that badly needs, and make clear to buyers and automotive journalists as well as their priorities lie If all Infinitis from now is this elegant and fast straight line, I'm for.
Simply attach the please the steering rack to the real time.
