I LOVE MINE TOO! 2017 Q50 RED SPORT, Full 3" down pipes, chip, peddle commander, ark grip exhaust - 525HP, Average 0-60 3.7s Beat : Scat Packs Porsche 911 Mustang GT EVERY Subaru Audi A4, A6, A8 BMW 5 Series Lost Hellcat BMW M3 BMW M5 Corvette 🤷🏼 The jump in this vehicle is top notch, but during all loses, the other cars just simply had more muscle, or larger turbos. Hands down, one of the best V6 Engines ever made. It's a sweet experience to burn those louder cars who's drivers think in the beginning that they got me easily. Sad thing is too many sore losers who want to keep going and swerve in and out of traffic. I don't play that game. Race safely, win Respectfully and lose with dignity. 3 honks go, hazards for the win. Live to race another race..... In Mexico of course ;)
@@max2icyy746 Yeah lol, that EVERY Subaru line made me laugh. Maybe every stock subaru or one thats just i take and exhaust. If i still had my old STI id add a car to the L list. Sold it a few months back.
This car came out in 2014. What a timeless design. Still a beautiful yet very aggressive looking car in 2021. I've driven a regular one not a rs400, even that one was quick and left an impression so I can imagine what any redsport is like.
Toally differnt engine. Q50 used to have a Mercedes 2.0T engine. Since 2021, Infiniti replaced Mercedes 2.0T engine with their 3.0L VQ30DD V6 engine. It surely increases lot of horsepower.
I'm looking to get in a 5.0 or SS soon but I gotta keep my q50 as well lol I fell in love with these cars, it's definitely an exhilarating driving experience I'll say. Most of the reviewers on yt just complain and bitch about the "outdated tech" inside, yes the interior could be refreshed without a doubt but it's great to finally see someone reviewing that realizes the performance platform and potential with these and the q60 as well.
I own an end of year 2018 Q50 Luxe (fully loaded) with the VR30DDTT, stock its just over 300 hp, and I have it tuned to 405 HP just by having the computer tuned. All I have to do is set it to Personal mode and it loads the custom tune in there (had it professionally done). If I get around to it, I plan on going the RA500 upgrade from AMS, plus changing out the intercoolers to AMS ones, and running an Invidia Catback which should give no drone when paired with the AMS catted street downpipe, and it will sound like its a factory tuned exhaust. Estimated numbers from the RA500 kit show I can expect 505 WHP from the kit, whole thing will set me back about $9,000 with parts and labor. Here is the great thing, the stock transmission and engine can easily handle it on E85 pump gas.
The car is nothing to be played with 😂 I own a 3.7 N/A AWD, it WILL surprise you, and even just FBO on E85 will push that things horsepower to the roof, then when you upgrade the turbos the car is absolutely insane,very very cool car! They badge it as a Nissan skyline in japan
