The 2018 INFINITI Q60 is so much more than a pretty face. Yes, we know it’s visually stunning, but Washington drivers are sure to love the performance prowess of this sporty little coupe, as well.
Equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo engine that has been specially developed to deliver optimal power and energy, this ride can easily deliver up to 400 HP with up to 350 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to a direct-injection gasoline system, the mechanics allow for more precise delivery of fuel into the combustion chamber so that every acceleration is executed smoothly, depending on both throttle position and motor speed.
This DIG functionality also ensures greater efficiency and a 6.7 percent improvement in economy over previous non-turbo V6 models. Earning up to 30 MPG on the highway and 22 MPG in the city, the numbers speak for themselves.
To further impress, the Q60 is matched with a seven-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission that features both Downshift Rev Matching and Adaptive Shift Control. Together, these two characteristics work to provide seamless acceleration, little-to-no lurching, and all around stable road-holding.
