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

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.
