Thank you; very informative!

very excited about that twin turbo

Wow Alex you are fast. I thought this car with the VR30DETT wasn't due to road duty till at least summer. As for the Q50, the 3.0 V6 twin turbo just makes me love this car even more. The car looks great to my eyes (unlike the IS350) so styling changes seem unnecessary. The adaptive suspension is a nice change as the last 2014 Q50S I've driven left my passengers feeling sore due to its stiff setup. I had no qualms about DAS in the 2014, but an improvement is nice. If this car is priced right (e.g. under the ATS 3.6 Performance), then this is a great package.

IDk why people keep saying this car isnt an M5 or CTS-V competitor. It isnt even in the same size class. No its not an M3 or C63 competitor. It will be a C450 AMG, 340I M-Sport and S4 competitor.

what car should i get..... the 2017 nissan maxima sr mdnight or the 2016 infiniti 3.0t AWD? im torn between the 2 and i dont know which one to pick.

Q50 or G37 I've heard mixed opinions and need help what would you guys recommend?

good work by infiniti, this car is really competitive now with the new engines. im curious how the turbo 4 feels, but it i think the 300hp version at 40k is a good deal.

I already have a fully loaded QX80 and would to love to compliment it win a top tier 400hp Q50 AWD or Q60 AWD. Can't wait for both to hit the dealers later this year!

Thank you, well done. If I may add: If the seats in the rear don't have a pull to retract them to make more room for the trunk: its only because of "Glove-Box & Trunk Security". Assuming this model of car has a *Spare Valet Key. I own a Jag and this feature stands out in my opinion. and I don't see it as a draw back, its a huge plus for me.

Does the awd have paddle shifters (2017) also does it come with the red S on the back by the q50 and on the side by the 3.0t

I was contacted by my dealer stating the 2016 q50s hybrid will not come with the standard sport features. Only thing the dealer said it comes with is the 19 inch alloy wheels. Is this true? It will be nice to come with the 2015 sport features.

Hey Alex what's the top speed on 3.0 liter red sport?

Thay 2.0L Turbo is the same one found in the Mercedes CLA/GLA/B 250 right?

Hi Alex, Any review on 2016 QX50?

I currently drive a 2008 335xi and have several modifications in place (JB4, downpipes, straight pipe exhaust system, spacers). I am interested in trading this in for a new 340i, however, I test drove an Infiniti Q50S Red Sport (400hp) and really enjoyed the driving experience with the Infiniti. I found that the Q50 has more interior space, more advanced technology, more horsepower (the car is a beast!), and doesn't have the staggered tire formation (AWD model). With staggered tires, you can't rotate the tires, and have to spend significantly more on tire replacement. I know that the BMW drives and handles extremely well having owned one for 6 years, however, the poor reliability factor of the BMW concerns me. What is your opinion on both cars and is the new BMW built better than the 2008 335xi which is prone to check engine lights and numerous very expensive repairs. I'm having a tough time deciding which is the better car. They are both similarly priced. Please shed your insight on both of these amazing machines. Thank you

Nice review. However, unless I missed it, you failed to touch on the 7AT. I had a 2009 G37s with the 7AT, and without a single doubt, the worst feature on that car was the lethargic transmission. Knowing that they still are using that general unit (as opposed to something superior from ZF) would keep me from considering another G-sedan - even one with 400hp.

The tune and refinement blew my expectations and had a very good sync with the motor; especially when I down shifted. The revmatch feels mastered as well. I'm excited for the new upgrades and I can not wait to actually have one! :) by the way Alex you do very in depth nice reviews.

Has anyone on this thread inquired with Infiniti or a local dealer with regards as to whether or not a manual transmission will be made available in the Red Sport model coupe at release or a later date..

Is this Engine outsourced, or is it a Nissan engine without Renault influence?

Hi Alex, rumors said there will be GTR powered Q50 (even though Ininiti offical said the project is canceled, but didn't said it is completely shutted down) in the future, is this twin turbo engine is testing the market?

+Frank Zhang (FrankInRage) We don't know. This engine is related to the GTR engine however.

Got a test drive booked next month for this guy I'm excited, that said coming back to this video I wounder why Infiniti opted for 19's on the wheel instead of 18. The slightly smaller tire would improve turn in, fuel economy, 0-60 times etc. Although I must admin the 19's fill out the wheel well very nicely.

Pricing is going to be super important , if The fully-loaded price tag on this is within five grand of the ats-V people are going to have a hell of a choice to make. By my estimation it would need to be 6500 or more below the entry price of the ats-v,about 10%, as that is roughly the horsepower difference between this and the next rung of performance. fully loaded 56000 is about all I would pay.

good product for Infiniti q50

I just realized the inclusion of the Q50 RS and the re-shuffling of the lineup, Infiniti has quietly dropped my personal favorite model combination: the Q50S Hybrid (or the Sport Hybrid). From 2016+, the Hybrid now becomes solo option with the luxury model's bodykit but the 19" wheels from the sport. This is upsetting as the Q50 Sport looks a LOT better than the luxury model IMO. The RS has awesome power, but nowhere near the MPG of its hybrid counterpart. With the introduction of the 400hp RS, Infiniti probably figured the power-hungry buyers would skip the Hybrid (the prior hp king in the lineup) hence the reason of doing so. I liked the duality of a sporty hybrid, but looks like Infiniti thinks otherwise.

Alex, I am not sure why you think this is not a direct competitor to the 340i. 340i will be putting down around 330hp to the wheels (Some have already been dynoed at 367hp stock by the large auto mags. Infiniti advertises crank HP so plan for around 320hp at the wheels. According to your assumption, fully loaded will be at about 60k while the 340I Msport fully loaded ends up at about 63k. Very comparable in my mind. What am I missing here besides maintenance time hopefully being significantly lower in the infiniti?

This does not take into account that there is more to competition than 0-60 speed. I think a head to head with the new s4, q50, and 340 in awd variants would be due. They are direct competitors in price and in overall package with nearly identical performance on paper. I am cross shopping these three now.

Angry Whale​ i agree, i love the g's engine when it hits high rpms. I only wish the g came with a little more torque, thats my complaint. How much would a brake change cost on the 335? (4 rotors + all the pads)

why don't they just put in the gtr engine and awd. that'll make short work of the competition

I suppose there are only so many VR38's that Nissan's "Takumi" can shell out by hand each year.

Get some good tires and AWD and you've got a winner

+ThousanWhite when driven the 3.7 AWD, I find it is not good as the RWD when in the corner, and also it will be slower~ don't know why you want the AWD

Nope, those were VQ engines and now they are running VR type of engines with direct injection and twin turboes that are directly mounted.

Yep, and the replacement is long overdue. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my 08 37 these past 8 years, primarily for style, handling, and reliability, but the VQ always needed more power (torque is garbage) per liter, and aftermarket solutions (NA or FI) to that are not cheap. The VR will prob be a breeze to tune, and I'll be curious to see what the stock turbos are capable of pushing in concert with e85/MS109 fuel maps.

So I guess this is Nissan's real 4 door sport car. The new maxima could have used a version of the turbo drive train.

+wishgsxr The new Maxima doesn't suffer from lack of power. It suffers from being boring to drive.
