If the Z gets the same engine I will save up for that instead! 😱

Yep i think im going AWD too. I think 350ftlb torque with AWD will be fun down in the daily driving range.

Exactly! Especially with all that torque coming in so low, should be quite the performer. Not to mention that I am sure the engine can get a tune and increase both the hp and tq fairly easily! This will be a beast of a machine.

Ok so i have a different question....does it have ambient lighting (im sure it does)?? I tried to locate the led hole around the map light area in one pic ive seen but didnt see one. Also wonder if it will have the lighting around the door arm rest area like the new Camaro(sorry guys but since yall were on the Camaro subject above)

PS well i kinda answered my own question





There is a led ambient lighting strip above the inside door handles the same color as the cup holder leds. See link below...last picture

I haven't seen that AWD for the Q60 will be available for all engine options. Can anyone validate this yet?

It will. This isn't Lexus that has 3 engines but only 1 is AWD or rwd.

I think this car is gonna be insane in RWD.

As long as those paddles send instant commands to the slushbox, and theres enough summer rubber out back, its gonna be a straight hooning machine.

Im going to assume the new suspension has been one-upped in every measurable way.

If it is no more than 3,750 pounds for the RWD 400 horsies, it should be an absolute blast to drive, in full manual mode

Figured it was time to try the AWD and see how it performs. Figure with tunes and such, that the AWD will be better at handling the extra power.

Forgive me if this is ignorant because I'm not an AWD guy, but isn't infiniti's AWD system one that ony redirects torque to different wheels when slippage is detected and not a full time AWD system like Quattro?

Am considering AWD as well if I go with the Q60... Just hope the ride height isn't jacked up as it may be a bit before suspension mods are ready for market. The current AWD looks just awkward stick to me

Yes, I was wondering that also. Will have to compare the heights when the full specs and order guides are released. I am thinking since both the RWD and AWD will have the sport suspension that they will both sit low. In the beginning I know you couldn't get the AWD with sport suspension, which is why I think the older ones sat higher.

I thought it was full time AWD up to 25mph, then it only "turns on" AWD when it detects slippage, like you said.

In snow mode, AWD is fully engaged up to 50mph and the gear ratios are changed or something that basically makes it slower.

I believe that it is AWD at low speeds and then switches to RWD. However, I like that, as it will aid in getting off the line, then once up to speed the benefit of RWD kicks in. So for me it would be the best of both worlds.
