Unless it was already announced, I'd wager a turbo 4 will find its way under the hood of the Q60 as an entry level

Considering how many IS250's were sold, I think most people will find RC200t plenty fast.

Probably the same 2.0 turbo found in the C class?

The IS250 was a misunderstood engine. At 2.5L it has similar displacement to many current NA I4's, but more torque and two extra cylinders to make it a smooth operator. If we look at the 250 as a 4 cylinder competitor it makes more sense. Same thing can be said of the GX460 motor. At 301hp and 329lbft it's really more of a V6 competitor but again those two extra cylinders keep things smooth and less strained. That's how I view it anyway

That's what I was thinking as well

Earlier this year they were talking about a TT 3.0L V6 for the new Q60 coupe..

Turbo motors these days can certainly have 120 HP/L so I would think we should expect at least 360 HP for the car.

If they add the current hybrid system (54 HP), then we will be at 414 for an initial quesstimate.

Unfortunately (for Infiniti fans) not. The turbo 4 is reported to be the same engine as in the QX30 which is the A class version with 210 hp. Volume engine is to be the 300 hp TT 3 liter V-6 which should match or exceed the performance of the current 3.7. The 400 hp will come in a special edition with a pretty steep price tag, It should be faster than the C class 450 AMG, but no match for the AMG 6.3.

Rear end looks lovely. New Q60 has some real presence that the G37 never had

wow that looks really good, same for the powertrain choices. two version of 3.0 twin turbo V6s and a 2.0 turbo four. even the lesser of the V6 turbo will give RC350 a run for its money.

Not too bad overall. Just strange seeing those rubber "springs" below the rear light reflectors.

car looks great, finally... too bad for the interior, it is dated look these days, no matter how many screens you cram into it - Accord style. I am sure it will sell great.

It looks more like an American car rather than Japanese.
Yes, dated interior especially for a coupe.

Infiniti should be able to find better photographers. Most of those pictures are way too artificial.

I agree, the interior does not match the freshness of the exterior. Not too many cars come out with an all new body, but carry over an existing dashboard.
