2016 Q50 twin turbo v6

I was pretty interested in this too. From what I can tell from building it on the Infiniti website, it only comes in auto and the "red sport" is 50k +. Correct me if I'm wrong. If that is true though, I'll be really dissapointed. Looking to upgrade soon and wouldn't mine staying with Infiniti if I could have another manual and afford it.

I have a 2015 Q50S and I wish I had waited for the "Red Sport" I love my Q, save for the 7 speed auto" which is not bad as autos go, and with an additional 75hp, it would be a blast.
I don't know how the Q stacks up interior wise with the last G series (mine is a 2005) but I love it. Very comfortable, nice leather etc.
BTW, I think the only way the "Red Sport" comes is with the 7 speed tranny. Rumors are that a 7 speed "twin clutch" set up is in the works.

That new q50 looks like a grandma car. But all of you think it's some type of track performance car because it has twin turbos lol it's a family sedan pushing 400 hp sitting at 4k pounds of weight. It will put down around 340 and be heavier than a g37 but cost double of a g37 lol

Drove the Q50S Twin Turbo
Bored so I decided to stop by the local infiniti dealership to test drive a new Q50 red sport AWD.
Power is not abrupt and delivery of power is smooth. If there was any lag, I did not notice it The sales person configured the handling to be in Sport+ mode. I was expecting the steering and suspension to tighten up when I was doing some apex turns but it felt a little light. Did not feel any body roll but was able to partially chirp the rear wheels (I should have warmed up the tires a little more). The safety nannies of course was doing its thing. Brakes were not grabby.
Kind of reminds me of my old school 2002 VQ35 in power delivery. Smooth and gradual but power was on tap when you needed it. Of course, when I had enough room to stretch it legs, I had to stop a little early due to construction on the roads.
Insides look like the same as the last Q50 perhaps with some subtle finish upgrade options.
How does it sound? Little too quiet. I was hoping to hear the classic G exhaust but it was quiet on start up and driving. Aurally, I wish Infiniti paid homage to the original sound.
Price on the sticker up here in Cowtown is $54K (cdn) plus freight, taxes (includes navi)
Tech package includes all the safety nannies but that ups the price to over $60K.
Visually, if you are not paying attention to its S3.0 T logo and different wheels, it looks like any other Q50 sedan.
If I were to consider it (need more SUV space due to family hauling requirements), I would easily choose this over comparable offerings from BMW and MB. I wish I could have included a more in depth review but was not even expecting to have one of these available for test drives.The coupe of course is where other people placed their $1K deposits to hold them as they will be arriving in July/August for them.
Pictures for both the sedan and coupe are everywhere so there is no point for me to include them here.
