Infiniti Q60
At the heart of every sports coupe is its engine. Infiniti offers the Q60 with a trio of different turbocharged engine choices. The 2.0t features a 208-horsepower 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine, while 3.0t models utilize a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6, which makes 300 horsepower. Top-of-the-line Red Sport 400 models also make use of the twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6, though output has been upped to an even 400 horsepower, providing extremely strong acceleration at any speed. No matter the engine choice, buyers will get a 7-speed automatic transmission sending power to either the rear wheels or to all-four wheels, as each trim level also has an all-wheel-drive version.
The Infiniti Q60 comes in several trims. The two 2.0L trims are 2.0t Pure and 2.0t Luxe, both of which are available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. The three 3.0L trims are 3.0t Luxe, 3.0t Sport and the Red Sport 400 which also offer all-wheel drive.
Being a luxury coupe, even the base Pure models come generously equipped. Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights, headlights and brake lights, remote keyless entry, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, a sequential welcome lighting system, leatherette seating surfaces, 8-way power adjustable front seats, a leather wrapped steering wheel, satellite radio and not one, but two LCD touch screens, the upper one being 8 inches and the bottom one being nearly as large at 7 inches. Voice recognition, a rearview monitoring system, and an alarm are also included. The Luxe trim adds a 13-speaker Bose audio system, power moonroof, Homelink Universal Transceiver, and auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated compass.
The 3.0t Sport models build on the Luxe appointments and add unique 19-inch alloy wheels, sport brakes, a dynamic digital suspension, carbon fiber or silver optic interior trim, and semi-aniline leather seating.
The Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 takes things to the next level. With 400 horsepower, the 400 Red Sport is a truly fast car, and plenty of exterior styling enhancements show off to the world just how serious the Red Sport is. It gets 20-inch wheels, upsized, red-painted brake calipers, red "S" badges and bigger exhaust tips. Inside, the Red Sport gets steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, leather seats, carbon fiber trim, aluminum accents, and a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel. Like the 3.0t Sport, the Red Sport also comes with computer-controlled dynamic digital suspension, which should make the car handle on rails.
Safety features on the Q60 include a bevy of airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, and a brake assist system. Optional safety features include a backup collision intervention system, a blind-spot warning system, predictive forward collision warning and a lane departure warning system.
