New Q60 Infiniti

The 2-litre model is due out in Q4 but they are pretty secretive on the RRP, same with the 3-litre TT model in 2017.

I don't know about you guys, but these cars look amazing! I'm surprised at the lack of discussion on these cars...

 

I test drove the Q50s a few weeks ago and it handles very nicely. You definitely feel the difference from the V36! Can't wait to have a look at the Q60

They're great looking, but so much like Mazda 6. Hope they sell well.

[asitag]

i hope they dont sell well...

might find some good discounts

lol

You reckon the 4 Q60s will be good value in 5 years' time?

[asitag]

well, they say that a car tends to drop in value by 50% in 5 years.

50% in 5 years is darn good resale value.  bought my wife's J31 Maxima at 22 months old with 40,000km for less than 50% new price, but they have poor resale.. most cars will hit 50% after about 3 years and those with good resale, about 4.

But we are talking private sale price, not dealer used car prices.. they are always way over inflated.

Front looks good, rear looks good but at the side view, it looks cheap. I think it's the chrome edging around the windows. Not because I own one but I prefer the look of my 2009 V36 over that. It just seems classier.

Otherwise, a twin-turbo 3L pumping out around 336kW, yes please!!

Agreed!

How fast do you guys think these new models will be 0-100?

[sonicii]

Since the only come in a 224kw or 298kw flavour.. I can only hope Aust. gets the 298kw version

[The Max]

Where did you get those figures from? These guys are claiming it's 336kW. http://www.caradvice.com.au/399177/2017-infiniti-q60-coupe-spied-without-disguise/

Because they are the only 2 formats Nissan have built with the VR30DDTT so far, unless they have some secret version they are going to release into the Aust delivered Q60, but I think that is fairly unlikely.

Perhaps they were building a higher output version for the Tau Rouge, and Caradvice.com assumed that is what they were going to use?

That first link is looking at the Q50

[sonicii]

true.. but the info was more about the engine rather than what car it is in.

I haven't seen any credible information on a factory 336kw version of the VR30DDTT yet.  Would be nice if they do release one, but I have my doubts Australia would be the first market to get it.  In fact history suggests Australia usually misses out on any tweaked versions they ever build.

[niZmO_Man]

Is this the "400hp 3L twin turbo V6" you're talking about?

[sonicii]

yep.. that is the 298kw version.. we can only hope we get that one, not the 300hp (224kw) version.
