2017 Infiniti Q60 / Q60 Red Sport First Drive Review - DETAILED in 4K UHD!
It was only a matter of time until Infiniti translated their Q50 sedan into a coupe and jammed their excellent new 400 horsepower twin-turbo V6 under the hood. The combination is just as insane as the Q50 Red Sport 400 with two fewer doors, a snazzier interior and an extra dollop of aggressive styling. Forget the Lexus RC, the Infiniti is the BMW 4-Series fighter from Japan.

I agree with both of you
This car has class! And it's beautiful.
Came here to see the Q60 and left with a new favorite car review channel. Your reviews are highly in-depth, informational and articulate. Thanks for posting and keep up the great work. Lastly- damn, that car is gorgeous. I can't wait to see what tuners can do with the 3.0tt.
I had dinner at a banquet a couple years ago with the sales manager for a large multi-dealer group in the Chicago area. He commented that of all the brands they handled, he enjoyed driving Infinitis more than the others. He indicated they were just a more complete, more cohesive, and more consistent brand as a whole. While he liked the Acura MDX as a 3-row CUV, he said he would check out a QX60 when it was time for him to travel with his family -- again, just a nicer overall experience. I suspect this is probably what you experienced with this Q60.
I just leased a Q60 Redsport with out the tech pkg to avoid the direct adaptive steering. I absolutely love this car! I had a 15 Q50S and this is head and shoulders above it.

Same here came out of a 15 Q50S too. Much better suspension and revised interior really make a difference. I recommend people interested in the car to give the non DAS a spin.
Infiniti sure knows how to make a good looking luxury coupe. The old G37 looked amazing and this is no different
This is how you make a perfect product review video! All the small details make this the best video type.
Looks alone will make It a hit. Well done Infiniti.

Finally Infiniti is stepping up their game again, after nodding off for a few years. Great review Alex.
One of the best looking coupes I've seen. Thanks for the review.
3 videos in a row, that helps with my Monday blue for sure. Great review as always Alex!
Found me a Dynamic Sunstone 2018 RS with 4,100 miles on it. All electronic options, AWD, etc. $23k under original sticker, CPO and 39 months left of factory warranty.. I really like the car. Gets a lot of looks and compliments. Plenty of speed and power for me. Good gas mileage. 29mph on highway trips.
THANK YOU for actually showing the car! I fell in love with this car about... 5 days ago and have been watching several reviews. This is the only review that actually-shows-the-car all over (instead of watching someone drive it and speak). Thank you! Shame that I can't buy one in Korea :(
The thing that has me psyched is the fact that in a few year these will be used and a lot cheaper! We live in a great car era
2017 Q50 RS400 AWD quarter mile 12.7 seconds, Lexus RC F quarter mile 12.9 seconds. This is because the Infiniti is very underrated from the factory, and actually makes ~375whp and ~350wtq, making both the HP and TQ at the crank over 400. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aram Garibyan i like both. Id prefer the rcf because the ride is not stiff! I hate stiff ride. I like the front of q60 but not so much the rear. The rear of rcf is badass. Wide.
I would take this over the BMW anyday, the interior is much better and the steering feel is superb.
Just picked up a 2017 Q60s RS 400. Absolutely, love the car as a daily.

Very good review! Infiniti has gotten serious about the "driving" aspect of this new coupe. Also beautiful styling!
You have great reviews, no strong bias, and great "comparison information". I'm on my third Infiniti (RWD Q50 RS400) after decades of Germans and Jags, more value to me. The new 3.0tt is a great engine, torque everywhere, and I'm getting 5mpg more than the 3.7 G37 IPL I traded. Both the Q50/Q60 are beautiful cars, hiding 400 hp beasts when you want to get frisky. Keep up the great "informative" reviews.......
Thank you Alex for getting it in blue. Beautiful shade of blue. Strongly considering the color
The side profile reminds me of the Accord Coupe and I don't say that as a negative.

Totaly agree, as I have a 2014 Accord Coupe V6 MT. Thinking of trading it in for this beast. However, one less backseat and less headroom makes it hard to justify with 4 kids... :(
Great job, this is by far the best review I've seen for this car.
As soon as my 2016 Maxima SR lease ends I will be upgrading to a AWD 3.0T. Thanks Alex. Awesome review.
The side profile looks very Honda Accord Coup-esque. A very good looking car, regardless.
I don’t understand why this car gets so much hate.... it’s an all in one package and after it’s 3 years old like this 2017 one it’s so affordable!! Can’t wait to buy this
The old G37 was more sexy than the German rivals when it came out.Some reviewers rated it faster and more engaging. It had more tech content for less money. The brand looked like it lost its was for a while, but they have came out kicking and I like this one alot.
Why compare to BMW, with cost of maintenance and unreliablty of BMW it doest even exist in my book.
This is the video ive been waiting for. Great job, and keep up the good work!
The front of this car reminds me of a happy loyal dog.
Congrats for review, is one of the bests in the class; well documented, nice shape, tech + image added value, touching all aspects; I found-it the best from the ones related to Q60. A+ to Alex!
really nice car, thanks for the review
Excellent presentation, clear, detailed and extremely informative
very nice job from infiniti. they took way too long to release this car but looks great. definitely blows away other Japanese luxury brands but not a fan of the turbo 4
This is the nicest interior carbon fiber presentation I've ever seen.
I know 4.6 is really fast to 60, but still seems slow given 400hp and AWD.
Looks great and they're practically giving them away with some of the lease deals I'm seeing. Infiniti is really fighting for marketshare and it shows.
I found a auto channel that I watch every second of the video never disappoints on details I have never been bored watching one of your reviews I'm hooked and hit the subscribe button 👍🏾
Wow three videos within hours????? Time to binge watch them
@1:43, this is Infiniti's halo car? The NSX is a halo car, the Lexus LC 500 is a halo car. This doesn't look like a halo car at all.
Very nice review. I should have my Red Sport in about 2 weeks. Can't wait! I got the AWD version with all the tech goodies.
Alex - it might be cool to add curb weight and MAYBE a rough power-to-weight ratio when you do the engine overviews for models (probably only makes sense for performance cars) - it I find that is something I look up right away especially when shopping for something sporty which seems like every six months.

Dual turbos, no turbo boost gages. No heated mirrors. And no manual transmission. Beta man paddle shifters. But still a nice car.

T. Bigums The coupe will do a bit better but look at a Q50 after 2 years and compare it to a Lexus, BMW or Audi. The G37 coupe has a bit of a cult following in certain demographics and holds its value a bit better than the norm.

I miss the petite first gen G35 style. I owned a first gen (2006) G35 sedan w/ the six-speed manual and it was smaller than this coupe. The newer model Infiniti's meant to replace the G35/37 has gotten progressively larger and heavier.
After reading the spec, I couldn't believe how heavy the Q60 Red Sport AWD is, @ 4,024 lbs! That's 68 lbs heavier than the 2017 GMC Arcadia Denali AWD! Come on Infiniti, it's 2016, this coupe is too heavy!
The glove compartment is small because you can't fit an iPad? Maybe if it was meant to house tablets it'd be call a tablet compartment...

I'm pretty sure that was used just as a point of reference for comparison implying other glove boxes do fit an iPad. Not that it necessarily has to fit an iPad to not be considered small but it makes it small relatively speaking...of course I'm not surprised critical thinking is not a strong skill around here.
Hey Alex, Great detailed reviews. But will you ever mention the audio systems in these cars? Many of the high end cars have sound systems that might be of interest to many of us.
Very solid video

4K :) My LG Monitor 4K is happy!
I have a '03 S2000 now, but when I lust for a GT this on my short list. It's so sweet. In Forza7 this car drives and sounds almost like a 'Japanese Giulia' ! Way to go, NIssan - not much would make this car a whole lot better. And why not just cut to the chase and call this beauty...~Infiniti Skyline~ ??? That's a marketing slam-dunk!
good reviews, as usual....... good looking coupe.....
Awesome and informative review.
I'm actually going to an Infinity dealer and give this a try but like everything it comes with yet I made a list of what I want let's see how that goes today.
This or the RC 350? 🤔
Great review thank you.
Great review of my dream car, Shino Aburame
Interesting, the performance numbers of the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 are similar to the Lexus RC F with the 5.0L V8. As a current owner of a Mustang GT, and a former owner of a 370z, I must say the Q50 is quite a looker, but I'd much prefer naturally aspirated.
Great detailed review. Sweet car too.
From someone who owned both Coupes in a G35 and currently driving a G37. I have some small pet peeves about this car. Please stop using Chrome plastic. That crap starts flaking off about 5 years of ownership. That Shinny black piano plastic needs to go. ugg. Why use that cheap crap in the interior? Other than that I think it looks awesome! How is the transmission on the new 2017 models? The G37 has a quirky transmission and I always find myself having to paddle downshift because the damn car doesn't know how to get into 3rd. Feels like it's going to stall but never has, it just has that bogged down feeling being in a higher gear than it should.
Just wait until the rumor Infiniti Q60 Black S come out with 560+ hp and then it will smoke other cars in it class for sure. I can't wait to pick up one of this Q60 Red Sport myself, hopefully within a year : )
This car costs $60k plus, whoever bought them brand new is an idiot. Camaro and Mustangs have way more performance in terms of power, torque, handling and costs $20k less.
Excellent Review! I'd love to see what you have to say about the Jaguar F-Pace.
Too bad it's just an automatic. Waiting on Nissan to put this in the next Z mated with a 6 spd manual.
Great video as always Alex , I know this is not a proper question , but is this q60 better than any of the new mustang gt or camaro ss , i'm planning to buy one of them , but i don't have experience with them , i was shocked about the ride quality of this q60 , I expected an A for the ride.
Very nice! Definitely going to give the Q60 a look (just started shopping for a carin this kind of segment). Though, I am not sure whether I want to have 2 doors or 4 - obviously not too concerned with practicality. But the Q60 to me is much more attractive than the Q50. I'd be interested how they drive in comparison.
Great review
I hate that Infiniti didn't stick to the '20 they were going to offer on the RS.

This car is so beautiful! But no Manual transmission? I guess I'll have to go with the G37 instead.
HI Alex, Thanks for the review! I was wondering, do you have a Mercedes C300 coupe review in the pipeline? I'm considering the Q60 3.0T (non redsport), RC 350 or the C300 as my next car, so I wanted to know your opinion all three! what would you say?

There's a serious design flaw in the Q60 - the headrests. The front seat headrests are way too forward and they can't be pushed rearward! Go to the Infiniti dealer and see for yourself, how can anyone drive like that?!
What are your thoughts on this VS the Cadillac ATS lineup? Will you get an ATS-V to review?
@ms3er396
6 жыл бұрын
ATS-V has more power but it does lack an AWD option which would help harness that power.
You probably don't want to loss the rear end of this car since it's open differential. No idea why they decided to do that, make this car not track-able, or even having fun aggressive driving. It's a pure muscle car.
in future i may purchase a infinity its tip tronic not manual but any way i will run my infinty 3.5 car into the ground but its only at 35200 ks still gotta long way before it packs up
Does the traction control MODULATE or does it just do a STUPID fuel cut for 1.5 seconds like my 2014 370z?
One area many european and other luxury makes falter in is front seat storage for small items. Bins and nets to put your stuff in. With a passenger along you have enough space for a wallet and maybe a pair of sunglasses. Anything else has to go in the arm console, which is often small. Add a woman with a purse and it's really confining. Even our large X5 has no more space to put things than a much smaller Volvo S60, which is no world beater itself.
