Sweet! It's about time! I am liking the overall sleek shape of it, which seems to be pretty close to the concept, which doesn't surprise me, as the concept was based off the production model. Really wanting to see the back and front without camo to see how aggressive they are. So far, the Q60 will still be my next car.

That black garbage wrap is crude but effective. Hard to tell how much makes it to production. Those wheel gaps looks much bigger than the concept, hope it's not that bad once the camo is off. From the looks of that no parking sign it appears the spy shots were taken somewhere in Europe. If that somewhere is Germany than we may soon see footage of it going around the Nürburgring!

LOL, sorry. If they immediately came out with a 450hp variant I'd be all over that. But my skeptical side realistically thinks the higher output version is a year out after it goes into production; I hope I'm dead wrong.

That is the time frame I expect also, though I hope your wrong also! I had always planned on upgrading a year or two after the new version was released. However, mercedes is releasing the regular c coupe and c63 within months of each other, so hopefully, if there is a high performance Q60 version, it will be released fairly close. Guess we will find out more at the detroit auto show in january. Ready to see some video of it on the ring now and some interior shots.

Based on what I have been told the last couple of years and what I foresaw in the force that is being revealed in Dec for the Q50, I think we are NOT getting anything beyond the German 4cyl. No V8, but to V series Infiniti/Nissan engines. Now Europe will see 2 german engines and a Japanese V6 or 2. The German Engines will be the 4 cyl Petrol and Diesels.

Auto Blog is reporting some of what I have been saying for a while.
Infiniti Q60 Coupe spied in production guise
Here is the best news we've had all day: the production Infiniti Q60 Coupe will bear an uncanny resemblance to the concept car that previewed it earlier this year in Detroit. We know this thanks to our very first round of spy photos of the heavily camouflaged production car.
Although there are only three images to draw from, we've got a clear picture of the concept-inspired lines of this new two-door. In particular, the front and rear fascias look to draw a lot of inspiration from the concept. In front, the headlights look to be similar in shape, while the double-arch grille looks largely unchanged from what the company previewed. Perhaps the biggest change up front is around the fog lights, which look to sit in far more conventional housings. Also gone is the Q60 Concept's Formula One-inspired chin, possibly in part due to the company's (and parent Renault's) perilous position as a title sponsor for the Red Bull Racing team. The taillights reinforce the concept car inspiration, retaining a similarly svelte shape and tying in with a small trunk lid.
Also like the Q60 Concept, our spies report that a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 will be on offer, likely as the range-topping engine. We'd expect the volume motor to be the Mercedes-Benz 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the likes of the new Q30, as well as the CLA-, GLA-, and A-Class. It's also certainly possible that Infiniti's long-serving 3.7-liter V6 will be available in some form. Whatever engines arrive, we can expect six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic transmissions to be the sole options.
