Did you know that the VC-Turbo isn’t the first cutting-edge technological advancement that INFINITI invented? In fact, in 1995 they introduced the VQ series, which was designed to have maximum dynamism while still affording consumers an impressive fuel economy.
The state-of-the-art motor was given a prestigious place on "Ward’s 10 Best Engines for the Next 14 Years" list. This achievement essentially put the brand on the map and carved a corner in the market for our exceptional luxury vehicles. Nowadays, you can still find this marvelous machine far from its humble beginnings as the Twin Turbo in the 2018 Q60.
The V6 is the lightest and most environmentally friendly option; the EPA has estimated it gets a mileage of 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. It’s also crazy fast and strong because it has a special speed sensor that produces an extra ten percent of power, and this lets the turbine get up to 222,000 Revolutions Per Minute. Additionally, none of this comes at the cost of muscle: this beauty cranks out 300 HP at 6,400 RPM and has a hearty torque of 295 ft-lbs. at 1,600 RPM.
