If you hear an untamed roar along the streets of Snohomish, it is probably 2018 INFINITI Q50. This sporty sedan is earning raves for its powerhouse motor and technologically advanced transmission.
Top Speed went for a spin in the Q50 and referred to its engine as a jewel. That’s because it packs a lot of punch (300-HP) in an elegant package. All that horsepower comes via a 3.0-liter twin turbo V-6, which looks like a beast with the hood up and feels like one when the throttle is to the floor. This INFINITI has no trouble on the highway, as tests took it from 0-to-60 in an impressive 4.5 seconds. This agility and pep is the result of 295 lb-ft of torque running through the wheels.
Managing that strength is a cinch, courtesy of the 2018 Q50’s innovative seven-speed automatic transmission. INFINITI’s Adaptive Shift Control has a lateral acceleration sensor which seamlessly adjusts the gears in all conditions: from zipping up a hill to taking a corner without slowing down. This result provides responsiveness that uniquely responds to every driver.
