Infiniti Previews the New Q60 Coupe

Debut of the New Infiniti Q60 Coupe

When the new Infiniti Q60 Coupe Concept was unveiled at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, it made quite an impression. The stunning new luxury sports coupe was the star of the show in front of an appreciative audience of automotive journalists and admiring car enthusiasts. As we know, Infiniti designed vehicles in recent years have gotten bolder and more daring, with new and sleeker body lines and a combination of voluptuous curves with chiseled lines. The new Infiniti Q60 Coupe Concept is no exception to this bold styling signature. In fact, if anything, it is one of the most daring designs yet.

Here are some of the notable comments made about new Infiniti Q60 at its debut:

“The show-stopping Q60 Concept is an original and bold reinterpretation of an elegant lifestyle 2+2 coupe.”

“The Q60 is Infiniti’s most emotional and accessible concept so far.”

“A unique proposition of striking styling and a high-output powertrain in a premium package.”

A Bold New Look

The heritage of the Infiniti Q60, formerly the G37 Coupe, is one of power, performance and style. It is a design that has appealed to drivers young and old, who appreciate sports car performance with all of the luxury you get from Infiniti vehicles. The G37 and subsequent Q60 Coupes have been among the most popular Infiniti vehicles sold here at Sawgrass Infiniti.

The new Q60 Concept car stays true to the sporty heritage of the current design, but with a radically new and updated styling. Its wide open grill and bold front fascia sweep up into narrow headlights that complete an appearance of menacing aggressiveness. The flared wheel wells and crisp body creases taper back to muscular haunches that make the Q60 appear ready to leap forward. The sloping roof line meets the trunk lid in a small spoiler that perfectly complements the Q60’s sleek profile.

Power, Performance and Handling

It is expected that the new generation of direct-injected, twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engines will be paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission to power this new sports coupe. The new engine is likely to offer more power and a significant improvement in fuel economy and overall performance. The numbers being talked about are in the 400-horsepower range, with highway MPG numbers in the high twenties.

Infiniti’s design director, Alfonso Albaisa, is quoted as saying, “Design, performance and premium quality – these are what makes a sports coupe stand above the crowd. And these are what you’ll find on the definitive Q60 Concept.”

The new Q60 concept, as with the highly-praised Q50 Sedan, share design characteristics, and even some components, with Nissan’s legendary GT-R Supercar. This will undoubtedly mean the new Q60, when it comes into production, will be a true performance sports car.

From Concept to Production

In designing this new concept sports coupe, Infiniti has put into practice their concept-to-production approach to vehicle design. This “fast tracking” of a radical new design may be what we can expect from the leaner and more independent Infiniti design team. While innovation has been a hallmark of Infiniti design for years, we may see even more new and radical designs in the coming years.

In the meantime, look for the new Infiniti Q60 to make its appearance sometime in 2016. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of this exciting new Infiniti Coupe as it nears production, so keep checking in with us.
