First unveiled at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit back in January 2016, the Infiniti Q60 has now been spotted in Malaysia. The two-door coupe competes against the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, BMW 4 Series, Audi A5 and Lexus RC.
In other markets, the Q60 is available with a choice of three power outputs – a 208 hp/350 Nm 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder as well as a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 that serves up 300 hp/400 Nm or 400 hp/475 Nm.
Since the photos aren’t of a very high resolution, it makes it difficult to read the badging on the front fender that identifies the engine fitted. We reckon it’ll be the 2.0 litre turbo unit (sourced from Mercedes-Benz) but we’ll have to wait for it to be formally introduced to confirm.
Regardless of which engine the Q60 has, a seven-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control directs drive to the rear wheels, or all four of them if the optional Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is specified. On the 3.0 litre twin-turbo-powered models, the transmission comes with dual automatic transmission fluid coolers.
As for the handling bits, Infiniti’s Dynamic Digital Suspension with continuously variable electronically controlled shock absorbers are claimed to offer best-in-class handling. There is also Infiniti’s second-gen Direct Adaptive Steering and Drive Mode Selector, the latter to allow for a more personalised setup.
Quite the looker, isn’t it? Even Kit Harington a.k.a. Jon Snow was left mesmerised after a quick bout behind the wheel. What do you think of the Q60 coupe? Does it have what it takes to go up against the German competition?
