2016 Infiniti Q60 Concept: Official Details And Video

Over the past couple of years, Infiniti has set about re-establishing itself as a maker of premium, performance cars. Major moves included moving its headquarters from Japan to Hong Kong and introducing a completely new design language and naming strategy. Then came the first of a new generation of Infinitis, the Q50, and although the svelte sedan suffered from some teething problems, Infiniti’s sales have never been better, with the brand selling a record 186,200 cars in 2014.

That tally is almost certain to rise as a raft of new models are introduced over the coming years. We’ve already been given a preview of some of these in the form of the Q30 and Q80 Inspiration concepts; now, we’re being treated with a preview of the next-generation Q60 coupe in the form of a thinly-veiled concept at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The production version is due in showrooms this fall, as a 2016 model.

Photos of the Q60 concept have already hit the web, but now we have the all-important details, including some of the powertrain specs. The Q60, for those still not up to date with Infiniti’s new naming strategy, is essentially the G coupe, whose last complete redesign was back in 2008. The new design is much more impressive and finally provides the Q60 with a powerful presence to match the solid performance the car is renowned for.
