Unleashing Thrilling Performance
The heart of every Q60 is INFINITI’s acclaimed twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine, producing either 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque or a more potent 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, depending on the chosen grade. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, offering a classic sports coupe feel, while INFINITI’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is available for those seeking enhanced all-weather capability and confident handling.
Working seamlessly with the engine is a slick seven-speed automatic transmission. Its manual shift mode and Downshift Rev Matching allow drivers to engage more directly with the Q60’s performance. Adaptive Shift Control intelligently adjusts gear holding during cornering or hill climbs, and Sport mode sharpens transmission response for a more dynamic driving experience.
In the Q60 LUXE and PURE models, the 300-horsepower engine delivers its power smoothly across a wide rev range, providing ample performance for both daily driving and spirited runs. This advanced engine boasts lightweight aluminum construction, high-pressure direct injection, and integrated exhaust manifolds, contributing to both power delivery and fuel efficiency.
For peak performance, the Q60 RED SPORT 400’s version of the VR-series 3.0-liter V-6 cranks up the turbochargers to generate a thrilling 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Regardless of the horsepower output, a water-cooled intercooler is utilized in all V-6 engines to optimize air intake temperature, resulting in improved throttle response and fuel economy.
All Q60 models feature Rack Electronic Power Steering, providing responsive and linear steering feel. The Drive Mode Selector, standard on every Q60, allows drivers to customize steering feel and vehicle response. The RED SPORT 400 offers the option of INFINITI’s Direct Adaptive Steering®, a cutting-edge system that enhances steering response and reduces driver effort, especially on longer drives. Direct Adaptive Steering® offers multiple customizable modes, including Personal, Standard, Snow, Eco, Sport, and an even more aggressive Sport+ mode exclusive to the RED SPORT 400.
The INFINITI Q60 offers a choice of two suspension systems to cater to different driving preferences. Standard across the range is a four-wheel independent suspension with aluminum double-wishbone front and multi-link rear designs. Dual flow path shocks and stabilizer bars ensure a balance of ride comfort and confident cornering. Exclusively on the Q60 RED SPORT 400, the Dynamic Digital Suspension elevates handling and ride comfort with adaptive dampers that continuously adjust to road conditions for optimal performance.
Drivers can choose between standard rear-wheel drive or available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive across all Q60 grades. The all-wheel-drive system enhances grip and stability, especially in challenging weather, and can send up to 50% of torque to the front wheels when needed. In normal conditions, it operates in rear-wheel drive for enhanced efficiency and a sporty driving feel.
Daring and Elegant Design
The 2021 INFINITI Q60’s exterior design is a bold statement, effortlessly combining strength and agility with grace and elegance. Its dynamic shape and powerful stance immediately communicate its sporting intentions.
The Q60’s long hood and athletic profile highlight its front-engine, rear-drive sports coupe character. Muscular lines flow across its body, creating a sense of motion even when standing still. Signature INFINITI design elements are prominently featured, including the distinctive double-arch grille, crescent-shaped C-pillars, and human-eye shaped headlights. Chrome-finished dual exhaust outlets further emphasize the Q60’s performance credentials.
Standard 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels enhance the Q60’s stance, while the Q60 RED SPORT 400 boasts even larger 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, staggered in width on rear-drive models for improved handling and visual impact. These wheels fill the arches, adding to the car’s athletic proportions. Beyond aesthetics, the Q60’s aerodynamic shape contributes to a low drag coefficient of 0.28 and zero front and rear lift, enhancing stability at higher speeds.
Inside the Q60, the tailored interior focuses on driver and passenger comfort. Ergonomically designed high-back seats offer exceptional support and comfort, even on long drives, with bolsters to keep occupants secure during spirited cornering.
Interior material choices in the Q60 range from Graphite leatherette in the PURE trim to newly standard semi-aniline leather-appointed seats in LUXE models, available in Graphite or Stone.
