Here's Why the Infiniti Q50 Redsport is AMAZING!

[@ThousanWhite]

I loved my 2014 Infiniti Q50. I leased it for 3 years. I think in a few years, buying a used 2016 Q50 will be one of the best bangs for your buck.

[@Anthony-dk7de]

They’re $24k with 60k miles in Los Angeles, CA. So you were right.

[@zaki7108]

30k for 30k miles. You were right

[@kennethcastillo8019]

Doing that tomorrow, I’ll let you know how it goes

[@Dragon-hu7pt]

@@kennethcastillo8019 for how much )

[@javybeaz3236]

That Q is faster then I thought, with few mods those things are getting over 500HP easy. Thats my next car for sure

[@rmyAddison]

Enjoyed the review, a few corrections from an owner...... There is pumped in sound, you can turn it on/off from the service menu. The stock exhaust is so quiet it's needed, add an after market exhaust and it becomes annoying (I added the Infiniti branded Motorsport axelback, then turned off the pumped in sound). So many folks complain about the tame exhaust that my dealer is pre-installing the Motorsport on many of their RS400s, they sell better. The engine is under-rated, like BMW does. Stillen dynos got 375hp at the wheels, they project 440 hp at the crank, nice. Fantastic engine, I've had Germans and Jags, RS400s (Q50 and Q60) are great bang for the buck, and get an A for "looks".............

[@TorqueJunkies]

rmyAddison thank you for your insight!

[@chigasaki06]

Since it doesn't have a lsd, isn't the handling worse? Also, how's the steering? I know DAS sucks.

[@gloriabycher4790]

Great demo very profess

[@gloriabycher4790]

Very professional demo

[@assmatic234]

DAS is amazing, most people are extremely biased against it. Most people who drive it love it.

[@fatalradius]

Honestly, V6 twin turbo @400hp at around 50k is not bad. Great for price point, and you can buy a year old model for about 45k.

[@alexcuellar484]

fatalradius you can find a 2016 rn with 25,000 miles at 32-35k

[@NauticaloneEd]

I wish this car offered cooled / ventilated seats! Otherwise I really like it a lot.

[@BigHeadClan]

That wind noise at the start though my friend, need to get an collar microphone or find a different spot to record.

[@mrczz6690]

I guess the 03 cobra was ahead of its time

[@latino914]

too much wind noise. there's gotta be something to take that off.

[@TorqueJunkies]

+latino914 I know :/

[@TorqueJunkies]

latino914 I have a Rode shotgun mic with a dead cat attached but that day was way too windy to film and I was told that I need a clip on mic as well

[@mr.e0311]

A 16 speaker Bose sound system does the trick.

[@paulfairchild8942]

Yep, get a lav mic with a wind jammer on it. Having the lav attached to your clothing near neck line will help your audio. The downside with a lav is that usually you have to record to an external recorder and hence you have to sync the audio in post.

[@elenchus]

just ADR everything.

[@mr.tuckers2848]

How come this Redsport 400 doesn't have the redsport interior? I thought the black leather and red stitching was standard on all Redsports.

[@TorqueJunkies]

+R C that's an add on

[@Kirk144]

The red stitching is on 2018 & 19 Q50 Redsports not sure about 2020 2021 I am sure a remake is coming soon this one is a 2016 or 2017

[@VanguardX]

Youre actually wrong....the sound is through the speakers on the q50 red sport...lol. Theres even an option to disable it in the settings.

[@redsporting8183]

Vanguard784 yeah I disabled mine but to tell you the truth not much difference

[@lelanddeselle3213]

I don't think it has a difference either.

[@blexy350]

First time I've seen your videos.... I love them. Thank you for your video!

[@TorqueJunkies]

Brandon Evans you're welcome! Thank you for watching 😊

[@blexy350]

Of course!!! Looking forward to more :)

[@hectorruiz4584]

First time watching one of your videos. Great review! I currently drive a c300. Hadn't thought about infiniti til a friend got a Q60 recently and really likes it. And then I saw one of these on the road. Seriously considering it now. It's on my list for when my current lease is up this year. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@TorqueJunkies]

Hector Ruiz thank you! Yeah it's a great car

[@jakemalatesta9592]

"lets try the 0-60 time" going around a corner?

[@danquinn7446]

What is this exhaust? Seems to be exactly the sound I'm looking for. You remark about how great it sounds but do not mention which exhaust it is.

[@macwoods5900]

!?!?!?

[@macwoods5900]

damn no response

[@yzchen8043]

I'm a beginner driver and looking for my first car lately i have been looking at this model so would recommended to buy it ? Q50 3.ot premium compare to redsport which one would do you prefer ?

[@GregMuniz7]

Been wanting this since it came out. It’s the best for the money.

[@HI6HROLLA]

What did he do to the car? Doesn't sound stock. I just put Stillen exhaust and intake in mine. Looking to see what it puts out on the dyno soon.

[@TorqueJunkies]

+Shehab Shaikh I think he changed the exhaust if I remember correctly

[@aaaa8784]

Just got done filming one and it is amazing!

[@TorqueJunkies]

Yes it is!

[@zeezero8012]

How’s the reliability on this car?

[@owngallardo]

Bro there's pumped sound thro the speakers, but you can turn it off. I've turned it off in my car.

[@TorqueJunkies]

arash behi yeah I found that out after, this one was off

[@yohan.al2000]

Infiniti needs to fix the lag on the infotainment system

[@janellmiramontes5793]

Looks better than q60, why... Less grill, take that toyota, lexus, hyundai

[@giffordcappellini6065]

Great video I was on the edge between this and another car but after watching I'm going with the blue on Monday. Can you ask him what he did to the chrome in the front to make it black? Love it! I used to live in Delray by the way.

[@TorqueJunkies]

Gifford Cappellini oh nice! I love Delray. He actually had them do that at the dealership, they could probably do the same at the one you are at. Great car

[@JozeatTxb]

Love yr commentary 😊

[@abechoucair6995]

I just bought this car 2 weeks ago. engine noise comes out of the speakers on sport + mode. What did your buddy do to modify ?

[@blexy350]

You can adjust that so you do not have to hear the noise.

[@S4_QUATTROPOWER]

Im getting mine today!! Fuck yea! So exicted.. 😎

[@redsporting8183]

kush gottheju1ce2k Q60 RS!! All the way that’s what I got ! Nah for real it just depends what your going to do with the car? If you want it to go fast you can always mod the no red sport ( 3.0t) and get red sport numbers fairly easy but if you want a stock fast non modded car get the red sport

[@lelanddeselle3213]

Red Sport ALL THE WAY!

[@zed952]

when you said 435, I was going to ask what was done to it. But its just the stillen intake I have in mine , tell him to get the fast intention exhaust lowers and full cat back he will enjoy it more ;)

+Professor5180 it's decent on this specific model but in the higher trims it's very nice

[@upamalten]

Awesome video and I am with you on the number comparison.

[@TorqueJunkies]

Thanks, appreciate that!

[@vangmx]

Good video. I have the Infiniti Q50L (extended wheel base) 2.0t model WITH hydraulic power steering which rocks. Anyway people have been bitching about the 7 speed slushbox automatic transmission and how it's slow. As for my car, I think the 7 speed automatic transmission is fine for me. Of course I don't go on the track so I don't need lightning speed shifting and I can easily pass other cars with no problem. What's your opinion about the transmission?

[@TorqueJunkies]

Meng Vang Thank you for your input! I think that the transmission is good for daily driving however for drivers that do want to take it to the track I think it should get a dual clutch transmission

[@vangmx]

Oh I totally agree. Either a manual or DCT will be great for this vehicle on the track and unfortunately, I think the Achilles heel of the Q50 red sport IS its transmission for those who are obsessed about having a track car. Infiniti/Nissan is still somewhat stuck in time with their 7-speed transmission from Jatco (already about 10 years old) and have yet to develop anything new because they've probably spent too much time and money on CVT technology. Either way, I still love my 2.0t Q50L. Would I like more power? Absolutely but the latest variants of the 300 and 400hp models aren't available in the market that I'm working and living in.

[@TorqueJunkies]

Meng Vang yeah that's true, a manual would be fantastic! It's not available where you live?

[@gonzoGarcia2006]

I read that it's the same engine that is in the GTR.

[@TorqueJunkies]

Same block, but different turbos

[@aramgaribyan6248]

Same VR "series", not the same block lol. One's a 3.8L one's a 3.0L.

[@infin-ianq50rs87]

It is the same block different head different turbos

[@adeakin3467]

i wanna see this car go against other cars with 400ish hp cars(stock to stock) to see where it stands, because 13 flat @ 109 aint really impressive. And pls bro...q50 rs is not close to c63 amg in anything. lmaoooo..

[@TorqueJunkies]

Ade Akin for a $30,000 difference its not a bad alternative

[@kempowarrior]

Plus the Infiniti has better reliability and cheaper to maintain. I don't know about you but I want to keep every cent I make and NOT throw or give it away to the auto shop. Thanks again for another great video.

[@samhyomin899]

Ade Akin Some ppl have done 12.6-12.7...then you can tune it.Because it has 2 turbos like the old rb26dett and the 2jz..that means while you get 5whp from your intake..this gets 50+whp from just a tune. and while u get 10 from your cat-back exhaust this get 30+whp from just downpipes And you can bolt in supercar speed by swaping in two bigger turbos..Still tho id buy something smaller and lighter like the toyota 86 or a 370z and use the extra money to make that fast. These luxury cars are way too heavy to be true sport cars..even c63 is a tank lmao

[@ayodorgu9451]

Ade Akin Omo iya, my GLC43 AMG 3.0 twin turbo is faster than the redsport 400. Tope

[@aramgaribyan6248]

Yea it's not a C63 competitor, it's a C43 competitor.

[@coopsnz1]

2018 Q50 400 redsport is $79000aud in Australia , Merc c43 is $105,000aud

[@munguia84]

Explain why they lose interior space again mmm

[@NS416]

This is not in the same class as a M3 or C63. This car would compare well with a 340i w/ the M Performance Kit

[@infin-ianq50rs87]

Lololol your right cuz both those cars get smoked by the q50rs

[@gsr2nr]

Too bad it doesn’t come in manual, the only reason I went with an M2 Competition

[@zajliab6017]

q50 or q60 ??? kind of stuck here lol .....lmk

[@romel4life375]

Lue Xyooj q60 if your single or if you have a gf or bf and want to turn heads with its amazing looks and dont care about cargo space the Q50 is a sedan version of the were you can have people in the back and have more cargo space with good looks so basically q60 is your single Q50s is a family hauler

$20k cheaper and more reliable that's why people buy it better. People buy Corolla even better than accord for same reasons. I agree abou the q's sound- not worthy of 400hp. Definately need to upgrade pipes. My old 3.7 sounded so much better than my current q rs even with upgraded pipes.

I really hate when anyone does a review of these type of mid level performance cars, the first thing they do is try to compare it to cars that is way out of its league. Any c63 is better than this car in just about everyway, its not even in the same breath with a c63s. A f80/f82 m3/m4 will embarrass it also. Just stop it, its just the highest trim Infiniti, that doesn't automatically qualify it to be on the same level with the German high performance cars. Its just not as slow as the base model q50, but its still not fast enough to compete. Accept it for what it is, smh.
