When you are cruising around in the 2018 INFINITI Q60, an advanced rear monitor is essential — especially so because this ride is way too pretty to risk anything happening to it. Lucky for you, the available Around View Monitor offers advanced reverse protection with Moving Object Detection, so you don’t need to have eyes at the back of your head.
So much more than your typical reverse assist, this new technology utilizes four vehicle-mounted cameras to create a virtually 360-degree radius view of your surroundings — projected to you through the in-dash screen. Designed to make parking a breeze, unique sonar sensors on both bumpers help to detect any potential targets in your way. In the event of a possible obstruction, an audible warning will sound, and you will also be alerted on the in-cabin display.Â
To further impress, the new Q60 is also able to sense motion on the sides of the vehicle. In this case, again the operator will be notified if any person or entity gets too close for comfort.

More likely than not, those interested in a sports car as athletic as the 2018 INFINITI Q60 have certain expectations for the handling and maneuverability of their coupe. Thanks to the luxury automaker’s Advanced Vehicle Dynamic Control with Active Trace technology, this little roadster is sure to exceed all of your standards.
VDC is a proprietary safety system that utilizes sensors to monitor a number of variables — from driver input to the vehicle’s motion — in order to aid operators in navigating winding roads, sharp curves, or acute turns. ATC keeps a watch over wheel commands to predict the actual direction the Q60 is heading, and prevent potential over- or under-steering.Â
If necessary, the intelligent CPU can autonomously manipulate the brakes and engine output to correct the intention. By applying pressure to individual dampers, the vehicle will navigate itself back into its rightful path, without any additional cues from the motorist.
While it’s suggested to keep this function on at most times, VDC can easily be switched off in any event where it’s not explicitly necessary — such as attempting to disembark from mud or snow.

The 2018 INFINITI Q60 is a state of the art sports car that delivers powerful handling to match its sleek exterior. It should come as no surprise then that this little roadster can easily be equipped with the luxury brand’s proprietary Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
Utilizing a smart internal processing unit, the vehicle is able to monitor specific variables such as wheelspin, throttle position, and vehicle speed with high-level precision. Based on the findings, the AWD system is able to provide more support where and when you need it.
With the ability to instantly adapt to the changing conditions of the road, the system can automatically divert up to 50% of the available torque to the front wheels. This transformation is ideal for enhancing traction and control, while simultaneously reducing the chance of slipping or skidding when the conditions are less than optimal.
Under better circumstances, 100% of the energy is redirected to the back tires. In RWD mode, operators will experience quicker transfers and more responsive performance.

When it comes to luxury coupes, the 2018 INFINITI Q60 Sport is among the cream of the crop. Equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo engine, this little hot rod can easily produce 300 HP and 295 lb-ft of torque. So it should come as no surprise then, that with that kind of power, this stealthy two-door features multiple modes to optimize the experience behind the wheel.
Featuring Dynamic Digital Suspension—which monitors inputs from the vehicle to seamlessly deliver maximum comfort and agility—and a new set of adaptive dampers, drivers can instantaneously change the focus based on their preferences.
For a smooth, comfort-biased ride, operators will love the standard setting. According to Kelley Blue Book, this frequency offers “stick-to-the-pavement handling†and is more than acceptable for most conditions.
Kicking it into “Sport†delivers an extra punch by stiffening up the feel to optimize for throttle response and quick shifting. In this realm, motorists can expect even more agility especially suited for vigorous roadways.
However, those looking to capitalize on efficiency will enjoy activating the Eco function. When selected, it uses advanced technology to create resistance between your foot and the gas pedal.

Just five short years ago, INFINITI introduced the world to Direct Adaptive Steering—one of the first significant precursors to autonomous driving. Now, this advanced steer-by-wire system is in its second-generation and available in the 2018 INFINITI Q60.
DAS functions without the use of mechanics. Using an electronic control unit, it is able to instantaneously deliver inputs from the operator's cues directly to the wheels, and vice versa. Because of its digital interface, the ECU can make up to 1,000 adjustments per second so that the quality of the ride is unaffected by kickbacks or forced movement.
To further impress, Q60 drivers can completely customize their performance preferences through the Drive Mode Selector. Those looking to sit back and relax a little may opt for the “standard†setting, which offers easy maneuverability at lower speeds. For operators looking to boot it up a notch, switching into “sportâ€Â instantly blasts the signal ratio to deliver immediate handling responses.
Nissan’s luxury brand calls this innovative technology “confidence-inspiringâ€, and we tend to agree. To learn more contact our dealership today.

Everyone’s favorite sports coupe just got an impressive upgrade to make the ride even more smooth than it already was. Thanks to the Dynamic Digital Suspension System, the INFINITI Q60 features a range of new software and hardware to provide optimal comfort and agility for occupants.
Controlled through electronically adjustable dampers, the DDS is able to monitor the vehicle’s body roll, pitch, and bounce, in order to regulate control based on the driver’s preferences.Â
Â
The fully customizable system allows operators to personalize the settings. Using the "Drive Mode Selector," users can choose between “soft†and “firm†options. The latter configuration allows for more agile handling to deliver a high-performance experience. On the other end of the spectrum, the former has been specially engineered to balance comfort while ensuring that road bumps are absorbed, and variables like structural vibrations or external noise are minimized as much as possible.
Complemented by an already stiff architecture, this new system needs to be experienced in order to truly be appreciated. Stop by our dealership today to take the new Q60 for a spin.

To invest in a sports car is as much about possessing a passion for head-turning design as it is about desiring high-performance quality. These machines are intended to be seen, and the 2018 INFINITI Q60 is no exception.
At first glance, it looks elegant—a sleek elongated hood leads to a raked roof and a back end that is punctuated ever-so-delicately by a lip spoiler. The front showcases an inset grille, while character lines on the sides exude the type of speed this thing is capable of (up to 400 HP on the highest trim level). Sitting pretty on 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, the entire body is accented by subtle chrome details that add an even greater sense of luxury to this already top-of-class car.
Don’t just take it from us, though. The NWI Times called it “one of the most eye-catching coupes on the market today.†Offered in PURE, LUXE, SPORT, and RED SPORT models, there is more than one way to get into this ride.
