Back To The Future. End of Infiniti Q60 VR30 and Beginning Of The New Z.

[@jimwallace4164]

Thank you Sam for the proper send off for the Q60, was a great opportunity to take part in the video shooting process and this will be an amazing keepsake for me. I really enjoyed the casual conversation you presented here about the car, talking about its strengths and weaknesses that you presented in the video here. There has been a ton of Q50 Q60 reviews online and while most have a critical tone, this car hits you in the feels having a G35 back in the day, so this presentation was a different way to talking about a car that we are all familiar with. In fairness though, it was time for Infiniti to send this off to pasture. While I did buy it new, this car is not equipped with DAS and the ProActive package, the sticker was 68k+taxes and fees which frankly made it a good deal for what it is. The fully speced Q60 after taxes easily gets you near 80k CAD. An overpay for sure, a good off lease Q is what you want if you want to get into these. This one just kicked me in the face and the terms on the floor model were comparable to a 2019 Q60 I tested. Find out what options work best financially before ignoring the possibility of new. For those asking or wondering, the colour is called Slate Grey, the wheels are 20's on Bridgestone Potenza tires. The factory Infiniti I-Line package featured the Red Sport 400 base trim with special I-Line badges (I swapped em for the tradition S 3.0t badges) blacked out grille, black mirror caps, black brake vent trim on side fenders and a carbon fibre deck spoiler with a sport exhaust from Vibrant Performance. My detailer and friend Bogdan Opinca at OmniAutoDetailing wrapped the car completely in Xpel PPF (including a special front windshield PPF) and added a 5 year IGL ceramic coating. NeonNine Design wrapped the chrome window trim in a black vinyl and tinted the windows 20% all around. To start the FBO process my pal Pete Romani at The RacersEdge Canada hooked me up with BMS billet intakes, BMS high capacity intercooler, AAM 3" catted non resonated LDP's and their 3" catback exhaust with 5" polished exhaust tips installed at DesiAuto in Brampton Ontario by Tan Budwal and his team. So far I am pleased with the car and feel kinda lucky to be driving the last of its kind. Looking forward to what the Z has to offer with the VR30 in it and frankly how this will compare when lined up next to it (sometime down the road I'm sure) As Sam says, Lets Roll!

[@p1mpjunior12]

Hey boost I got to thinking and you know there will eventually be some wrecked Zs in the market... I'm wondering if any companies will develop a kit for the Q50 and Q60 to bolt up the new 9speed auto into them or even the manuals which most enthusiasts would like... For the straight line speedsters the 9 speed AT could potentially wake up the Qs immensely from their handicapped 7 speed at

[@jdstarek]

To be fair, I think the beginning of the end was renaming the G line. It’s a cult car, and Infiniti’s failure to understand that really showed they didn’t value the model or it’s huge car culture. It’s also why the car stopped innovating and got stale. I’m sad to hear this but not surprised. I still drive my 2010 G37 convert regularly. Love it, will never sell.

[@invalidusername_5101]

It’s unfortunate that this car has to go. It was one of the most gorgeous cars on the market as well as an aggressive front facial. The Q60 looks way better than the Z imo. But don’t know why other people don’t like the look of it, I’ll never understand.

While this a good car it could been better. The horsepower is lacking, no manual transmission, 19 inch wheels, narrow tires and, it's too heavy. The list goes on and on. The G35 coupe was and still is a better looking car. It's what saved Infiniti years ago. Looks like they haven't learned that lesson.

I love, love, love this video! So many journalists bash Infiniti/Nissan, and completely disregard the good qualities that they do offer. The Nissan/Infiniti brand is a great brand, and the dealerships a great place to be. I've owned an 03 Nissan Maxima SE and 05 Nissan Altima SL, and now a 17 Nissan Maxima Platinum, an 09 Infiniti G37, and a 16 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 rwd. I plan to have some type of Nissan product in my driveway for many years to come, as they are still great, reliable, and very entertaining cars.

[@HanabiiiUwU]

I own an Infiniti "Golden Era" '07 M35 Sport, with all the packages, and even this old thing STILL gets compliments from my friends and other people that ride in it. It's not fast by today's standards, but it has good pickup and a great engine. All suspension components have been updated and it drives fantastic. Nothing has broken on it. I hope Infiniti makes cool cars again, but who knows.

[@GreatDrums.]

The signature of the G cars for me was always the exhaust note especially from the G35 Coupe. By far the best stock exhaust hands down!

[@ibbetn1]

I have a 2018 Red Sport AWD in “Dynamic Sunstan Red” with “Gallery White” interior that I bought new, four years ago. It’s as quick as I need it to be and rides as smooth as silk, even with the 20” wheels. A manual transmission would have been a nice option, but I can live without it. I added some of the carbon fiber trim pieces and put black Niche rims on it a year or so after I bought it. Taking it in for the 30,000 mile service next week and am still in love with the car. Got it for 60 K US and feel like I got a bargain. I’ve got a 280ZX that I’ve had since 1983 and the Q60 feels like an updated luxury version of that car. Thank you for the nice Q sendoff video.

@@OBOYZ4alife Depends on how hard you want to go and your climate. Would recommend a heat exchanger from AMS or Burger Motorsports to start. The factory XE is just way too small. AMS has a new engine mounted twin intercoolers that look seriously legit. There are a million exhaust options too. Catted lower downpipes to start, a decent catback exhaust. Intakes are nice, but not necessary, the stock airbox are good. If you're out of warranty, you should be ECU tune ready with those bolt-on mods. Racebox, AMS and Sonictuned are the big tuners who can ECU tune your car. JB4 is a cheaper and easier tune but best results will be an ECU tune with a variety of maps. Wheels, coilovers and other visual mods are affordable and easy to come by. Have fun with your car!

One of the best looking cars on sale at any price point ever.... personally I think it will be one of the cars we look back on as having a timeless look. It being paired with a class leading engine, solid interior in terms of materials (not looks) and decent standard features makes the Q50/60 a strong contender in the segment and great value both used and as leases. Honestly if Infiniti just put a bit more money into it out the door it would have led the class, the poor infotainment quality, lazy auto and no LSD in RWD models really held it back when she launched then they could have easily justified charging similar prices to the Germans... But they didn't and while they had insane lease deals no auto-mag and very few independent outlets will never tell you that you could snag a fully optioned Q50/60 for the same or less than a Honda Accord.

Q60 is a lovely car but a bit outdated now. My wife has the 2017 Q60S and it gets compliments every time we take it out. All this car needs is a new 9 or 10 speed transmission and an updated inside. Our car has 80k miles and it still runs like new! I do all the maintenance myself, e.g., oil changes, brakes. Infiniti really screwed theQ series with the name change. There was a time when G37s were selling for more than a Q50..😢.

A great review and pretty on spot Sam! I’ve had 1 Q60 base, 1 Silver and my last a Red Sport, which I’ve decided to keep. That fact that INFINITI fell a sleep in the Sports car industry Vs the other brand is sad. I believe they will bring something out again in the future with a new name. Yes it’s outdated, but is it a bad car, no! I really enjoy my car and that’s the reason I decided to to keep it. I come from BMW’s, which are always at the lead in innovation and they are great cars.

I love this car. Used to have a 08 G37 6mt when it first came out. But Infiniti messed with the renaming of it to Q50/Q60. The G name already established itself. Second, getting rid of the manual was a bummer. And the VR30 should have been used earlier rather than the VQ37. The VR30 would have kept up with the competition. And should have left it at 400hp. 300hp variant was ok if the previous model wasn't already 330+ hp in the VQ37 🤷

[@J_Starr007]

Huge Nissan-Infiniti fanboy, I'm on my 2nd Q50. I had a 14' 3.7 and now I have a 19' 3.0S I love it. Yes the technology is somewhat outdated but you could say the same about the Lexus IS & Acura TLX. At least the Q's looks inside and out are undeniable and are almost ageless at this point. Nearly a decade later and both the Q50 and Q60 are still some of the best looking vehicles in their class, they also are adequately powered, very fun to drive, and great tuner cars. I hate that Infiniti has basically left the Q out to die but that's due to Nissan's previous CEO stealing millions and leaving the automaker flat broke there isn't much money being pumped into Infiniti at the moment and because of this Infiniti's future is somewhat uncertain. Genesis however, has taken the spot as my fav car brand deservedly... They came out the gate swinging, destroying all of its competition and in the same fashion Infiniti did when it debuted, putting every luxury-sport brand on notice by building unique & fresh technologically advanced fun driving cars. But Infiniti says they'll be replacing the Q's with electric successors though.... I guess only time will tell.

[@twinturboinfinitiq60az]

Purchased my 2017 Iridium blue Q60 premium new. Love it still to this day! It is soo sexy that I get more hate/jealousy/envy towards this car on my daily commute. I'm constantly being boxed in on the freeway, tailgated at traffic lights and on the drive, cut off at the last moment in the fast lane, park far away from others only to have some crappy truck or SUV parked next to me. When I drove my son's Pontiac with my same driving style (I always drive 10mph over) everyone didn't bother with me. This car with can be modified to produce large torque and HP if you want. A nice cat back exhaust system like Fast Intentions and upgraded heat exchanger is all I wanted since I view this car as a sexy GT cruiser and not a street racer. This is a very low production vehicle, so it's rare for me to come across another one and I like it that way.

Actually the VR30 Q60 didn’t come until 2017. 2014 the coupe was labeled a Q60 but was still a G37. It was a weird time.

[@fj717]

Totally agree on your view. Not really justifiable to spend that much money on a car with that much old roots. Had a 05 G35 coupe myself, absolutely loved it. Great sounding stock exhaust, driving experience and chassis. Currently driving a G37 coupe. Love this one too! Enough power, comfort features and great driving dynamics. Will surely own a Q60 someday, perhaps when the prices come down further.

If only the Q50 had this very same body styling after the refresh...

[@marsallen4298]

For the price this car is a really good deal used you can get a redsport for like $28k. 400 hp very beautiful car very fast 0-60 cheap to mod its a steal. Used c43’s are about the same price the only one thats overly expensive if the M340i used is like another 10k. F30 340i roughly the same price but you get 400hp from infiniti

I had a G37/Q50/Q60 all 3 year leases, amazing cars for the TIME. Sadly they let their foot off the gas, and I reallllly hope they can make a comeback sadly it will be in the EV age. I would have loved to see what they could have done if they tried the last 10 years.

a lot of people talk bad about the Infiniti cars but I think the Q60 and the Lexus LC500 are the sexiest coupes on the planet...

[@jimwallace4164]

No argument here! After seeing the new M850i - it makes a strong case in the +$150k CDN price range. I do think the LC is a cut above, but the Q60 holds its own in a pond of extremely gorgeous cars.

this car can pass for a 2024.. Yes the interior is dated but that doesnt matter in this case.

[@jimwallace4164]

I don't feel outdated when I sit in the car, however the inclusion of Carplay/Android Auto made the whole experience just right. I think the vertical arrangement of the centre stack is what gets people all out of sorts, the design direction these days is long horizontal screens/controls.

[@iamkyros2233]

I have owned the G37 and now own the Q50 for over 4 years. Unfortunately, the transmission is done, it will cost me $3k to fix the car, so I think I gave up on the brand after this issue. I have read and watched many videos on the same issue many owners are experiencing, normally after 100k miles. I am surprised infiniti did not make a recall on that issue. I will maybe come back once they come out with new models and they show their reliability. Other than the transmission issue, I loved my infiniti's and will always have a special place in my heart for those two cars.

[@slaedey]

As a younger car owner that can't yet afford this vehicle, god am I saddened they decided to abandon this model. I cannot wait to eventually own a q60 red sport in the future, when feasible

[@Tainoblazed]

The VQ engine is the only thing that kept this thing alive. That had a great reputation and if you owned one, upgrading to this is a no brainer. Still till this day I have a VQ as a daily driver for work. Reliable, powerful and affordable. It's just a shame when you hop on the inside, you remind yourself on how old this design really is.

I honestly feel like I like this car better, as far as aesthetic and interior, I just wish it came in manual also....maybe if it was cheaper one day manual swap.

This is the perfect example of a manufacture blaming sales for axing a model all while never updating the car for almost a decade. 🙄

[@BigHeadClan]

Yep a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, which is unfortunate because the Q60 was never there to make a lot of money or sell in high volumes it was to bring people into dealerships or to capture their attention when you see one drive by on the road. The Q50 was the one that earned the sales, the Z the dedicated sports car and the Q60 the show-room car.

[@goldiilockzz7556]

That’s exactly the case. It’s not the fact that they killed off the G-Series or that they no longer offered a manual transmission. It’s because they never made changes to the car while literally every other car manufacturer did. The main reason why I never considered buying one.
