Nissan's premium brand, Infiniti, moved to the market of the luxury coupe market with the Q60. It was mostly an evolution of the former G37 coupe.
The platform was adapted from the Nissan 370Z and was longer by 50 cm (19.6”), which should lead to more legroom for the rear passengers. It was big enough to accommodate shorter persons. The headroom was also limited. The dashboard was plain and simple, with big dials on the instrument cluster for the tachometer and speedometer.
The infotainment system had a 7" screen on top of the dashboard and was controlled via buttons placed underneath it. It wasn't the top of the class, but it worked well. It was still based on the Nissan Primera's infotainment system. The 11 speakers sound system was developed by Bose and had a noise cancellation system.
The base engine for the Q60 was the 3.7-liter unit that offered 330 hp. It was mated to a standard 6-speed manual. A 7-speed automatic gearbox was fitted as an option. The Q60 Coupe was available with an all-wheel-drive system. That came with the advanced ATTESA E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split) all-wheel-drive system taken from the much-acclaimed GT-R. The system utilized an active torque distribution management system with an active center clutch.
