The car will exceed the Q50 Hybrid's combined 360HP but not exceed 375.
If you look at the history of time, you will see that the G coupe has ALWAYS shared the same engine as the Z. This only means the next Z will also get this twin turbo 3.0 . I have strong feeling they will put 400 horses in the Z.
The thing is, Nissan has partnered with Mercedes. Mercedes CLA AMG makes 354HP. Their brand new C450 AMG makes 362HP and 384TQ out of what? Exactly a 3.0L twin turbo. Nissan HAS to best the performance of the Benz, even though they are partners, they are STILL competitors.
Bottom line, 375HP out of their new TT 3.0L will stand above the rest, and still keep plenty of room between the 400HP Z and the future IPL/Eau Rouge variants of the Q60, which will exceed 550HP+

—let me rephrase. Going forward, will the even-numbered products mean something different than the odd-numbered ones [like BMW's 3- and 4-series, and Audi's A4/A5]?
No. Q is a passenger vehicle and a QX is an SUV or crossover. The numerical part of the nomenclature will simply reflect where the model sits in the segment hierarchy in the market. There's no reason why we couldn't have a Q65 or a Q67 or Q66. Perfectly logical.
What's the status on Eau Rouge?
Good question. There is no status. There is no decision not to build it, and no decision to build it. The fundamental issue at the moment is purely a question of time and engineering resource allocation. As soon as Roland [Kruger] gets his feet on the ground, I'm sure he'll make some firm decisions on how that product does. At the moment, the critical thing is to make sure that we get products on the market that will deliver volume and profit to the dealers, and address the need of the consumer base. Here's a really good example to underline that: Since the G35 was launched-G35, G37, and the Q60 coupe as we currently have it-there have been 170,000 cars sold. Ostensibly, that's been the same model since 2002, except for the upgrade and power, and so on. We have a huge owner base out there that, on the whole, is extremely happy with their cars, but haven't been given an opportunity to upgrade. We'll have a lot more potential and get a lot more out of putting Q60 into the market than getting an Eau Rouge into the market.

I like what I see so far in the Q60 concept and look forward to what it will look like/offer in final production. Hope Infiniti doesn't screw up a good thing.
What I hope doesn't make it:
What remains to be seen (can it compete?):
What I hope doesn't make it:
- Quilted seats, look tacky IMO
- Exhaust seems too busy, needs to be toned down
- Not a fan of the front bumper splitters, in their current form
- Not a fan of the ridge in the top of the hood
What remains to be seen (can it compete?):
- Power output (hp and more importantly torque @ rpm)
- Will DCT transmission be offered?
- Structural rigidity; will the car be stiffer and handle better?
- Weight; will it weigh less, more or stay roughly the same?
- Performance; can it finally compete and/or exceed the performance of its BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc. counterparts?

Body work won't make - especially the carbon fiber bits.
It will not have a DCT - where would the get one? the GTR has a transaxle DCT which is supposedly getting replaced because its to clunky even by DCT standards.
Its still being built on the Q60 platform so there's no expected large weight loss.

Yeah, I really like the quilted seats and door panels.

So I started a New Facebook Group page for the Q60 (V37 Coupe). Post news, pics, thoughts, ect on the new Coupe. You can post stuff about future Nissan and Infiniti products as well as your current ride.
Looking for admins. If any one wants to be an admin hmu, in the mean time spread the word. There are a few pages dedicated to Infinitis and Nissans but lately have lot of spam/trollers/problem starters that do not contribute. The goal is to have a site were none of that exists.
