So these days stock 400 hp and 350 tq and 4.5 second 0-60 isn't considered high performance. Interesting.
My thoughts exactly. SMH.
He's referring to the transmission. The power is there, but the transmission holds holds car back which makes it not a true sports car.
I agree with you in this one lmao. But I own one the transmission isn’t good
😂
In my opinion the Q60 is perfect for its price. I'm just tired of hearing all of these whining crybabies complain about pointless things.
Love mine. I agree about the trans and tires. Run flats are only a good idea for the maker, not the owner. Ive split 3 sidewalls with Infiniti runflats on 2 cars. i went with Michelin pilot sports, regular rubber, slightly wider and slightly taller profile. Transformed the car. As far as the trans, I keep it in manual 90% of the time. I've also beaten an M4 from a roll (he might have had a bad shift). No engine mods, just a catback, which greatly improved the sound. The stock exhaust system is almost as quiet as an electric. With a true manual this car would be amazing.
This review is pretty spot on. I have a q50 red sport and my biggest complaint is the transmission. The shifts aren’t the greatest and I feel like it gear hunts a lot. But like you said for the money I really think it’s in a class by itself once you do the necessary mods . Also, tell your client he’s really missing a lot of power and performance having a tune without downpipes and a catback exhaust .... Good vid my friend 💯
I had an upgraded Level 10 Bulletproof 7 speed auto transmission in my Q50 before it was totaled after hitting a 90+ pound deer at 55 mph. This transmission can handle any modifications you do to the Q50/Q60.
What a gorgeous car. If only it came from the factory with better tires, it would've received much better reviews. Very first mod I put on my AWD Q60 was those Michelin PS 4Ss and the car feel completely different, very grippy and a blast to drive.
Couldn't agree more!
Noted for my future Q60 RS :)
@@autofanaticcars is that stock front grill? Looks slightly bigger, i want mine bigger like rs6 or genesis type size.
Damn I'm not even a fan of blue cars usually but that's a nice ride. Cant wait to get one of these beauties.
I love my Q60 Red Sport. I think my only draw back to this video is that you down play their speed. These cars are a beast at the track
Exactly 💯. I got a v8 and this car is a threat.
What is your 0-60 like?
Love the ride along reviews 👍 almost forgot I had a G35 with a manual 10 years ago as a daily car, they are a very good value for what they are.
Love those wheels. I’m really glad you got the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV.
Nice to see you back behind the wheel of a VR powered vehicle. I know that q50 didnt serve you well. Mines been great so far. Great thing about the VR engine and this platform is the expandability in performance for reasonable dollars - great video.
this was a fun day and I was very surprised to see how well this car responds to aftermarket mods I had planned for my Q50RS but we lost confidence in the car and dealer network and it was time to get an SUV for our lifestyle the Q50 just did not work well for cargo that I was using my Shelby to pick things up more often than not.
great video, i ended up getting a 2017 q50 silver sport back in march of this year, i love everything about it, i wanted to get coilovers, but i know with coilovers, you wont be able to use the drive modes from what i understand, so i was thinking of getting the rsr down lowering springs, im glad that you didnt give up on this platform, i learn a lot from you, keep up the great work, you're definitely right about those dunlops, they're trash, im almost hydroplaned in the rain on my way to work, scary stuff, i replaced the tires, big difference, i agree when you change the exhaust system, it definitely opens the car more, im looking into invidia catback exhaust, it has nice sound to it
As a proud owner of a 2013 G37x Sedan, I have to be honest and say, I LOVE the Q's looks ( especially the Coupe ), the more sophisticated interior and that pretty Grill. I am NOT however, inclined to ever buy one for the simple fact that Infinity ruined that wonderful steering feel by switching to that electric rack. I know that it's not a big deal for some of you, but after driving/owning old school BMW's, Porsche 944s, Alfas and Fiats, I just can't compromise and pretend that the numb steering isn't a deal-breaker. Infinity was SO close to "perfection" on this Model ...
The electric rack drives just fine and certainly much better than the old school crappy 944.
I have a 13 G37x coupe and it’s fabulous
I had a G37s 6mt before i got my red sport and i had it lowered on KW-V3s about 2 inches all around and suspension was way better. Even dealership service guys where amazed at the kw's. So u can mod a suspension and have it ride smooth still, but grip way better.
Great review. If you tune these cars they really wake up. The best suspension feel mod was the sub frame bushing collars. The car feels super connected and it took out all the slop in the steering wheel. I also have front strut tower brace and rear swaybar.Check them out.
Thanks for the info!
@@autofanaticcars another cool thing was that the 2 piece rotors from z1 lightened the unsprung weight by 10 lbs on each corner at the front and 7 lbs at the rear.
New brakes made it go faster and handle better.
Sweet...
💯💯💯 Z1 Sub Frame Bushing Collars are a MUST. Completely agree, took the slop out of the handling & is well connected to the road. Game changer for sure‼️
well, it looks really sharp, I think I would really like it, the AWD grip of those is the key for me
that tunnel was the perfect time to talk about an exhaust
Cars great for the money. It has more than enough power to do most things you would want to... And it's a very handsome looking car. No complaints here on mine lol
Driving a stanced car here in Michigan is awful because of the terrible roads. But I would buy it more for the looks than the performance.
this car looks so sweet how its set up and surprising its still able to be daily driven on bad roads like i show here, i was shocked
If this car came with an LSD, a better trans, some weight reduction and better factory tune it would be a contender against the M4 for sure. Just bolt ons and an E30 tune I’m beating tuned M4’s on a roll. Now I’m FBO E85 making 500 wheel it’s fun for sure. I’m excited for the new Z coming out cause I think it’ll fix a lot of the problems the Q’s have being more performance wise.
exactly but if it did all of that the price would be way up there as well. for the money these are great cars to enjoy and mod
The Alfa will soon betray you.
Does the US still teach drivers to hold the wheel at 10 & 2? The paddles are at 9 & 3 because that's the highest range of rotation you can achieve thus giving you the most control.
Finally someone that said it😂
Yea it’s 10 & 2 but even with the driving instructor I always did 9 & 3, feels normal to me than the granny 10 & 2
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. The Q50 and Q60 are a good bang for the buck daily driver with some expandability. Not a sports car but can still be a fun daily.
I disagree . This is a sports car. 4k you are at 600hp
Awesome video, car looks clean with that wheel setup!
It does!
Love this review, you're making me love my 2018 Q50 RS more...this car is really not set up right from the factory as you said. I have a love/hate relationship with mine lol. But I'm under full warranty until 2026 so I haven't started to modify it yet. I think I may just yolo into it and keep my fingers crossed that the dealer doesn't deny any warranty coverage. Couple questions - I have heard you can't lower the AWD models but this one is lowered so it seems there is a right and a wrong way to do it. Any advice on that? Mine feels and looks like it stands at least an inch too high and it would look so much better if it was lower to the ground. Also the ride already feels bouncy and brittle with the standard 19"'ers but you seem to think the ride is good on 20's...it's just not as well sorted as my old F30 335i M Sport was...so I worry that if I do lower it the ride will be worse. Would love to hear your opinion. Thanks for the great video.
Yes, you can lower the AWD. I did with my '17 Q60S w/RS-R Best*I Active C/Os (MSRP $2899), which will retain the electronic dampening. In addition, SPL Parts markets their suspension components through Infiniti Motorsports - check Infiniti of Nashua (NH) website. My Q is lowered 1" - a modest drop, but I didn't want any issues with the stress on the half-shafts, which is where the "can't lower the AWD" may have falsely come from.
Concept Z performance manual swapped one as well as Nismo. There's a 800 hp + blown q50 by Q50sc. AMS performance has a 9 second q60. The platform has come a long way and with the new modular direct injectors released by NostrumHp a lot of hearts are going to be broken.
Use DeatchWerks 1700cc for the Ford 3.5L EcoBoost instead. They "drop-in" aside from removing a small "hump" on the connector. Typical internet pricing sub $1k for all six injectors.
💙💙💙 automotive perfection
Love that blue, so nice with those rims.
thanx 4 ur video. luv 2 c more on q60 r/s. have a 2018 with p4s. thinking of a muffler delete to eliminate 35#, lighter rims, replacing factory battery with lightweight 20#. don't want more exhaust noise so hesitating on muffler delete. ur opinions appreciated.
Ok thanks for the video. Im looking to purchase a q60 RS
Styling is AWESOME!!
yeah they really got this style and proportions spot on
what were the problems with the q50 red sport? tracking and belt? looking at picking one up this week
pretty honest review
Would recommend the awd or rwd . Which is faster
Great review and good add to your fleet. If only these came with a stick, I'd strongly consider getting one!
Agreed!
Bad ass ride👊😎🚘
yeah this car is really Sweet from the color to the stance to everything, and let's not forget the value.
you should mention how they want $65-70k for it noting the antiquated design inside. Still reliable and very beautiful.
For q60rs? Naw I've seen them go for 25k-40k
Mine was more than that but mine is the q60 red sport 400 I line proactive . Highest end you can buy with all the top extras ...love it..im in canada
Get some q50 content and by the way love your gt350 man
What brand tire would be good for daily driving? I was thinking of Michelin, but not sure since it’s grippy and can wear out the tire quick
I would love to see some more Q content.
Check out " Getting thru Life". He did frame bushing shackles and completely tightened up the chasis movement.
Great review. Unfortunately there is no front sway bar made for the AWD just a rear bar. You can eliminate the wheel hop in the rear with a set of Z1 subframe collars. These cars can be absolute monsters with a turbo upgrade, 600whp/wtq easily. I echo the feelings about the trans. They suck! You can bump up line pressure in the tune to slam gears a bit better but that's it unless you go with a built trans. There's a couple of people that have done the manual swap. You can find their videos on CZcams.
Hotchkis makes a FRT & RR Sway Bar kit for the AWD Q50s & Q60s. Get it through ConceptZ Performance.
You can get a front and rear sway bar for the awd drive
I know u gotta mod a 370z also.. 370z or Q60 Red
Have you looked into a 440i/340i?? I feel they’re in the same category as the Q’s
With equally Numb steering and much higher repair costs lol No thank you !! I'll stick with my G37x or buy an E90-era 335i , which is the last year for a "real" 3-Series.
Great video keep up the good work
I probably didn't catch it but what suspension are you lowered on?
Let me ask have they improved the car today I know that was a 2018 is it all the same in the 2021? I’m not really deep into cars but my wife bought me one for Christmas q60RS just wondering
I just rented one and I own a 2020 AWD Stinger.This cars gearbox even in sport is not as fast to shift--it is more of a GT cruiser then an all out sports car.My Stinger is lower--faster and handles better.The engine is also higher rPM and thirstier then my stinger by almost 5 mpg--I get 29 (hwy) in my Stinger and got 25.5 in the q60.The q60 feels like an A5 with more power while my stinger feelsl lke an RS5 with slightly less power. The AWD system from my perspective is also geared for more safety and mine(q60 rented) had a front detection warning that was tapping the brakes when I would gain speed and catch up to someone and pass--I do the same in my stinger with a similiar system and it has never gone on and in one trip the q60s went on 3 times.The diffrence might be that my new Stinger has "enhanced shift logic" and "AWD software tweaks" to make new Stingers quicker--I also have an exhaust and a KIA comp reset to take advantage.Like he said the car is actually great but needs a diffrent tranny and better shift logic improvements--I also believe it develops its torque later then a stinger.Stinger engine is a GDI and feels much more crisp and instant power.It is more comfortable then my stinger on long trips--but to get the same speed in this would take a lot more aftermarket parts and the car is already about 15k more then a stinger model to model.My stinger was 36k for an AWD GT 3.3--q60 red sport AWD are 53k plus--almost 20k diffrence--best bet is get one used so you have money to mod it--or get a stinger if you want something out of the factory geared more towards performance.I also dragged my stinger and ran a 4.27 to 60 with no launc control--just powerbraked it--q60 times are 4.5 to 4.7 and 1/4 mile is a few tenths slower also.
Apple CarPlay in MY2020. No more Iridium Blue in MY2021, but Infiniti added a Slate Gray as a replacement.
Great review, wanted to see if your opinion on a 2017 Chevy ss, 6 speed, ls3, lsd, magnetic shocks, understated 4 door sedan.
if a fan reaches out who owns an SS would love to do that but that car is very rare and tough to find these days. thanks for watching
Love these videos I might of missed it but did this car have DAS?
yes it does and surprising it feels just like a non DAS car with how this one is all set up
Yes please give more content on the q60 wanted to buy one for my wife!!!
Great review, nice to know your still giving the Q50/60 platform a second look. Your right about the transmission not being the best then again its the Nissan JATCO 7 Speed in house not the Borg Warner that the GTR has.
Been cross shopping between this and the Alfa Romeo.
the Alfa Romeo platform is incredible even the base models drive so well. I own two of them for reason
get the alfa, i had a g35 and 2 g37s. the alfa blows them away
I can't say I've seen anyone other than older folks actually drive at 10 and 2. My daily being a manual im used to driving with mainly my left hand. And thats usually at 9 or 8. I've never used 10 and 2. I think that paddle complaint is more a personal complaint
does it come out as an RS or is that the after tune name, that car looks great and goes like a bomb
Yes there is an RS model, but the tune is what gives any of the 3.0t models that power to take off
What was the company for the suspension
Q60RS. Most things are brilliant. Some things are mediocre. Nothing bad and there sure ain't no ugly!!!
Can you suggest any budget upgrades?
Beautiful on the outside but when you see that interior in person though.........
yes these cars are very outdated which is why they are so cheap to lease.
Also, I'd love to know more about how you mount your GoPro in-car. I believe you mentioned it's a custom mount, but would you be able to recommend anything similar to what you have? Love the angle and there's hardly any vibration seen through the camera.
The GoPro itself takes care of the majority of vibrations. I put one on the side of my car right behind the tire and all you see is the suspension doing its job
Can you tell me what the wheel specs Are? 20x? And the offset
What are mods it has? Please provide the wheel and suspension specs.
Check out my Q60s in pearl white
Guys. It’s only $56k MSRP . What do you expect …?
I have one of these and love it. But would like more detail on the mods for this car. I did lease it and may lease another one.
so what mide range sport car would you buy im looking for lexus rc or 340i please help with or other sugestion are good reliable cars?
depends what you want the BMW will feel sharper than the Lexus for sure but also check out the Genesis Coupe its a really great alternative.
4 yrs later and the Q60 and Q50 are retired. Infiniti is in a very bizarre place.
They failed to update cars for too long and everything they make is outdated compared to the competition. This brand will vanish completely soon
I got white q60 red sport 2020 all wheel drive. I am looking for good exhaust. I want not loud but aggressive sound exhaust. Thinking about getting fast intention or borla cat back. Plz advise.
i tested a few systems on these cars and all of them droned very badly its a tough choice really
Y’all can mess with your cars all you like. Mine a 2020 Q60 RS will be delivered in a few days and I’m modifying nothing because I trust the Nissan engineers more than kids and people acting like kids like this guy.
It definitely do compete with them tf
Love the video, Song ?
How’s the maintenance on this car ?
Who is the owner of the car. I want to ask some suspension related questions.
Curious where you’re able to lease a Q60 Red sport that stickers for 65 large for $450/mo? I’m callin foul on that unless you’re putting 10 grand down or more
dealers blow these cars out with incentives and mfg kickbacks thats why so many people lease these cars because there so cheap to get into.
What's the wheel size n drop ???
What’s the wheel setup
God that’s gorgeous….
it was just sold and shipped to Florida.
I have a 587hp infinit g37... I need to get a new exhaust.. does anyone have any suggestions
Tomei
What is the custom suspension?
I would like to know as well.
I beat gt350s all day in my q50
I thought some models of this infiniti had to brake by wire system?
Some do it was a stand alone option in 2018+
"Its got ivory- they call it white interior"
What are these rims?
Belt flew off the engine? Then what happened?
car shut down, lost power steering and brakes and the entire engine bay filled with white smoke as the car barely rolled off the shoulder on a busy highway. it was very scary in the moment.
What song is in the opening?
Kind of looks like they got some of the body styling from the Mustang especially from the side view.
yes i also see some similar designs but the side profile of this car is very sexy
mustangs if they looked nice
Release a q60 red sport with a manual
The 400z will be manual same engine
My red sport I line proactive has a manual
What suspension is on this q60?
No response?
The performance of the car really let's down the looks of the car...
It is great car, unfortunately no manual.
yes i agree the gearbox needs to be burned in hell its horrible
How much is your insurance?
So should I not get this car ? 🤔
Dude....is this a Q60 review or a freaking Alfa Romeo review ?
when you own a benchmark car like I have several you compare others against it, drive one and youll see
Does this q60 have a IG?
No all content will be posted on my IG @autofanatic_cars check it out
The only thing holding me back from buying this car is the infotainment system. It's pretty garbage. Wish it was better in this car. And maybe the Bose speakers. I haven't had the chance to listen to the Bose speakers but Bose usually disappoints in car systems.
yeah the tech in these cars is like 15 years behind unfortunately but this is why they lease so cheap. I hope Infiniti revamps these cars ASAP because they are missing the market segment these days
So you buy cars to look at the infotainment?
Lol that's so wierd I have the same color and almost same wheels 🤤
My beater is 2018Q50 RS- RSR springs. Never again would I lower this car. My car has the adaptive suspension and bouncing all over the Road. I also owned a 2017 Q 50 red sport a 2013 Infiniti IPL. I would never buy Infiniti again I have graduated over to Lexus and BMW and the difference is night and day just be warned that Nissan is thinking to rebrand Infiniti to what they call Nissan-plus because Infiniti is losing so much money they may not be around in the next 24 months or so. they shot themselves in the foot with the Q50 and Q60 meaning that the technology was outdated when they built a car they put the engine into an old platform and paired it to a crappy transmission. But again if you want something cheap that’s going to outperform the average car on the road and this is probably a good car for you but if you value quality and reliability over engine performance I will go with the Lexus coupe the RC coupe it may not be as powerful but the quality Bill construction smoothness response everything about that car blows away the Q 60 coupe
thanks for sharing i was expecting this car to bounce like crazy and it really feels balanced and nice as the video shows. I still feel Infiniti is in a bad position as a brand and they may not be around for much longer.
Auto Fanatic Yes absolutely- I feel bad as I have own many Infinitis - I have to say my Fav was my 2013 IPL 6MT. I put almost 70k miles on it and not one issue. Lowered on swift springs and H&R 20mm spacers on stock wheels from day one.
ha my g37 transmission is fricken solid at 120k miles sooo suck it
🤣
Nice car but the interior is so shit and the infotainment as well ..It does look beautiful
That is a Mercedes Benz motor.
No, it's definitely not. The 2.0 4 cylinder is, not the 3.0 TT - that is the new motor from Nissan. It's the same one as is going into the new Nissan Z
