2017 Infiniti Q60S Spyshots Uncovered

[schocker]

Looks pretty close to concept. 3.0 L V6 TT for the top model with 400 hp. I was a big fan when I had my G35, really liked that car.

I like the styling direction they have gone with on this and it should hopefully compete better than the G37 did. Q60S with AWD would be a-ok with me with a decent transmission. Base model to get 2.0 4cyl from merecedes.

Nose looks a little squished but I still really like it. If it drives well it could probably take some BMW sales.

[A790]

Looks great!

Wonder if they borrowed the 3.0TT from Merc as well.

If it is, and at 400HP, C450 would be in a bit of trouble.

I think from what I read this is a Nissan engine. Supposedly also a 450hp version to compete against M3/ATS-V etc. but haven't seen news on that lately. Will just be nice for them to replace the vehicle that has been around since MY2008!!!

I think a cheaper, sportier customer would go with the Infiniti (and would be cross-shopping with a 4-series or ATS), but if somebody's looking for luxury then the C-class is in a league of its own right now.

[Squishy]

The back reminds me of a Z4.

It is amusing because of the previous gen and then the underwhelming plasticy CLA then sitting in the C at the auto show...wow, feel this wood :rofl:

I do find the bmw interior feels very practical. Infiniti I think has been a little swoopy, but look at the G35 from back in only 2003 and it was a mess inside. Everything scratched if you looked at it. :rofl:

[heavyD]

It's a good looking car. Is this a replacement for the G37 or a higher line model? Looks like a 3.0t badge on the fender there.

Hope it still sounds like a G37, or better!

Maybe it's cheaper to get the same designer as a last-gen accord

400HP TT V6 with AWD around the price point of current G37's? Should be a good seller. All depends on what transmission they put into it and what the final curb weight comes in at IMO.

[That.Guy.S30]

I hope they put that into the new QX70.

How come every single new coupe that comes out is compared to the accord? General shape, every coupe looks the same. It's because it's a coupe! :rofl:

Honda builds a generic coupe shape. Therefore everything looks like it.

Its like making a meal that tastes like chicken. Except in this case the Honda is the Chicken and every other coupe tastes pretty well like it.

I'm hungry, what were we talking about :rofl:

In no shape or form does the accord look anything like the accord coupe. :nut:

Can't sound worse than the vacuum cleaner sound of all VQ equipped cars.:barf:

Because being asian I can justify the price of an accord but not an infiniti. If I can get the same look for less, I'm going with that! :rofl: :rofl:

I also believe that the 2008 was the most unique design for that year? (correct me if I'm wrong) so everything else since then is a copycat.

Plus, they're everywhere so can you blame people for comparing new cars to something they're familiar with?

They sound great with exhaust though :dunno:

Saw this on the carlounge (vwvortex)

A lot of websites have this same information for 2016, the 400HP version is going to be called the "Red Sport" or maybe have a red S logo instead of silver.

2.0 L Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded I-4 208HP @ 5500 RPM 258LB.FT @ 1500 RPM
3.0 L Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded V-6 300HP @ 6400 RPM 295LB.FT @ 1600 RPM
3.5 L Gas/Electric Hybrid Premium Unleaded V6 360HP @ 6800 RPM 258LB.FT @ 5000 RPM
3.0 L Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded V-6 400HP @ 6400 RPM 350LB.FT @ 1600 RPM

Sadly it looks like none will have an optional 6MT and will carry over the 7AT.

But it is a really nice amount of engine choices for Infiniti finally.

300hp 3L max power at 6400. Interesting engine setup if true.

It'll be VERY bmw like and potential 7k redline.

I'd bet it's a tuning change to achieve the other engines 400hp. Cool.

[Disoblige]

That's so lame they don't even have the manual as an option.

yeap. I agree. I wouldnt buy a sports car without a manual shifter. why I love corvette so much, they know better not to get rid of it.

[killramos]

But would you buy a super car without a manual shifter?

Oh wait...

I don't know, Porsche's PDK is a pretty excellent transmission.

I bet this car is going to kill it in the aftermarket.

Did they happen to announce a refreshed QX70 at all? Does anyone know if it's due for an update soon or something?

Was reading off infinitiscene. It's due for a refresh soon not a update. Dunno when

Might be my next car.

[shakalaka]

Hmm. I wonder if it's unwise to get a 2016 QX70 now if they are gonna be changing it all up soon.

[01RedDX]

[shakalaka]

If it's going to be another 2 years or so for a refresh then I don't think it's a bad idea but if it's gonna be refreshed in a few months then yes. I wonder where I can find some concrete information about this because the dealers will simply say that they don't have a clue.

[That.Guy.S30]

I'm reading 2017. So next year?

[S-FLY]

Coming from a former G37S coupe owner, I hope this new model has the following:

- Bigger back seat. The backseat in the G37 was useless unless you were 5'5" and didn't have any legs.
- Bigger trunk. The G37 trunk was tiny and shallow. They had a sticker on the trunk lid specifically on how to fit 2 sets of golf clubs. :rofl:

It better come with a 6mt. :guns:

Sounds like this engine will have great tuning potential if another 100hp can be achieve simply by a software update.

[Mitsu3000gt]

For the longest time I've been saying that the G37/Q50 line is one of the cars most in need of an engine update, specifically a TT V6. Looks like it's finally here, and with decent power numbers. Looks great too, especially from the back/side angle. Should be very "chippable" as well. No 6MT or DCT option is a letdown though.

[Mibz]

No DCT option is a letdown though. I know this sounds weird, but it's 2016, DCTs aren't necessary. Modern automatics are absolutely good enough for daily driving. We're to the point where you really only need them for racing applications.

To compliment Mibz's argument. Response time of DKG (BMW's DCT) and latest ZF that's in all performance cars is not noticeable. You are talking about <50ms difference on average. Won't translate much on the streets.

http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimages/5282/ZF6HP21RespTime.jpg

As much as I'm sad that Audi is also dropping DCTs in favor of ZF, it's progress and doesn't have the huge disadvantage of expense and huge delay on DCT when you want to go from 7th to 5th (which isn't a big deal anyway when you has shit load of power) and new ZF can handle much more torque.

The only problem I have with Infiniti is that there 7sp has been horrible in the past. Lags similar to 1st gen ZF in the 600-800ms range. If the same slushbox is used in a 2016/17 G37, than bitching about not having a MT option will be valid.

Q50 is getting these engines for MY2016
http://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/15/2016-infiniti-q50-twin-turbo-v6-official/
Steering system also revised which people hated
2.0L mercedes engine is base
3.0 TT is the upgraded engine



The all-new 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine has been developed to deliver optimal power and torque for an engine of its size, together with optimized fuel efficiency. The high-output version of the power unit delivers 400 horsepower (298kW) at 6400 rpm and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) maximum torque at 1600-5200 rpm; while the standard output version produces 300 horsepower (224kW) at 6400 rpm and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) torque at 1600-5200 rpm.

While the 300 horsepower version is fitted with a single water pump, the 400 horsepower engine uses two water pumps for more effective management of heat when under operating at higher loads. In addition, for the 400 horsepower variant an optical turbo speed sensor gives a 30 percent power boost to the turbo system by allowing the blades to spin faster.

Nissan built a new V6? The beancounters actually let the engineers out of their cages at Nissan.
