I actually went back and chose just the premium package add on plus a few "accessories" and got it to just over $50K. With fake leather. This is with the 3.0T rwd.
I basically wouldn't be loosing any "luxury" features over what I have now (other than 50hp!) and honestly, I wouldn't need the rest of the gizmos. I'm perfectly happy to turn on my windshield wipers manually when it rains. But...I'd be stuck with the "crappy" steering system. So big fail there.
Unless the only difference between the S and RS is optical sensors and calibration, I'm a doubting thomas on the Red Sport...I think the RS is going to be well into the 60K range with options. Probably looking at $64K OTD once you figure in tax, title and license easily.
Looking at the complexity of everything, it's going to be a tough time modding this car and a vast, vast majority aren't going to mod theirs. We'll probably get decent gains from an exhaust (and of course tuning) but how many are going to void their warranty on a car this complex and this costly? I can't see netting 100hp to equal the RS easily or reliably. I could be wrong. Sure, the 335 guys get it but I wouldn't call it reliable. Hell, even the car in stock form isn't the most reliable but I digress.
On a side note, saw the first Q60 commercial on TV last night (John Snow). Looked good on the big screen.

I have a feeling most people in the general population will opt for the turbo 4 cylinder or 300hp version as most are more concerned with the sport coupe looks. Which is why I see so many base level four cylinder luxury sport coupes on the road.
I estimate the fully loaded RS I will get is low 60's, which none of the other luxury sport coupes with +400hp fully loaded and brand new come anywhere close to being that price. Also, no one pays sticker for any cars these days if you are good at negotiating.

Does anyone happen to know the difference between the color options of pitch black and black obsidian? They are options when you build but look the same.

A Redsport Q60 with just premium package should be about $56K MSRP.
I dont need any other tech. With a 56K MSRP, in the actual year 2017, this car will be had for 51-52K before taxes (Whoever pays MSRP is an idiot)
52K for a 375RWHP coupe? Im most likely IN.

guy on my FB page just posted a pic with a mildly optioned 3.0T AWD 300hp car with a sticker in the window showing $54k.
I laughed my @$$ off.
This is the biggest fail I've seen from a car company. ironically there was an ad for a local car company right below showing a white C7 targa vette with 5k miles on it for $53k.
My current G37s will be my last Infiniti. We get less power, more weight, more money, less desireable looks, more depreciation.

I'm waiting to see where else we see the RS motor. Whether it's in a new Z, or an upcoming Titan or something. But I don't see the Infiniti community being enough of a draw for tuners to crack into the complexity of it right away. Intakes and exhausts, sure. But tuning, turbo swaps, intercooler upgrades, wouldn't be worth developing if people are buying a $50-60K car brand new, and hoping to keep their factory warranty. Anyone who would be planning to mod it right off the bat, would price that in with the purchase of the car, and they would be looking at a $60-70K car. If they had that much to spend, WHY would they get an Infiniti??? It would be a different story if this engine appeared in another car, like the next Z, with a more mod-friendly owner base, but if this motor is only in the Infiniti, I'd be prepared to wait a long time for big power options from the aftermarket. ...But on the other hand, 375WHP with a factory warranty isn't a bad place to wait.
