I’ve seen pictures and thought it was cool. It sounds good too, but I just figured it was going to be a somewhat better Q50… I guess it’s going to be more than that: > They did it. They finally did it. Today in Geneva the hood was lifted on the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge, and it has the engine we’ve always wanted: the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Nissan GT-R with 560 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque… the car will do zero to 60 mph in under four seconds, can do up to 180 mph, and has a seven-speed automatic gearbox, but not the dual-clutch the GT-R gets. Oh, and all-wheel drive. It has all-wheel drive with a 50/50 front-rear torque split. ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/19hhmcmugeroajpg.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/1/210fc478c1106b1bf27330339fbe8dc8cb2273aa.jpeg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/19hhmcmu82a20jpg.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/4/9412925808b611e31d0fca6d12e293f9f4d19eea.jpeg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/19cfex2kddx46jpg.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/6/66e5f2180655ff615cd8c4db3cbd99609c67c415.jpeg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/19cfeuls48u12jpg.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/a/0a7e5064cafaabc17df30f9be2bc160fb314935b.jpeg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/19hhmcmud5dw5jpg.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/b/2b350b468da88700ffd8dd005ed8ab5e0f4f18d7.jpeg) > **[The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Is The GT-R Sedan We've Always Wanted](https://jalopnik.com/the-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-is-the-gt-r-sedan-weve-alwa-1535910615)** > > They did it.

i’d like to see less carbon on it to be honest but the idea is really cool. i’m also waiting to see what the next gen G coupe / Q60 looks like. they put the Q60 badges on the G37 coupe but it’s still the exact same as before and there are no images of what the next generation will look like. ---

i wonder what the depreciation on these is going to be like… i don’t know what one of these will cost but i will assume 80-120k ? You can buy a E55 AMG for 1/4 the msrp with relatively decent mileage for low 20s and M5 from the next yr gen for what… low 30s ? I am going to guess these will depreciate much more quickly than a GTR and there’s going to be some badass sedans rolling around Lol ---

Q50 may share the GTR power plant, but will not share the drivetrain. Q100 will most likely be closer to GTR when released. ---

Obviously, after having two Nissan Maximas (97 GXE and 99 SE) and now my 07 M35x…I love Nissan products. Infiniti and Nissan are making huge strides IMO. My moms 2014 Pathfinder is NICE. Love this Q50. This is another one, just a Q50s with some Vossens and a drop but boy is it sexy: [https://youtu.be/LNhvCELJf1g](https://youtu.be/LNhvCELJf1g) ---

So not exactly getting the GTR motor but: > New for 2016 is a 3-litre, twin-turbocharged V6. The new VR30 unit is related to the VR38 found in the Nissan GT-R, albeit lower in capacity. Infiniti says it offers a best-in-class power to efficiency ratio: High-pressure direct injection, variable valve timing, optimised turbine blades and a turbine speed sensor allow it to deliver high power with relatively little thirst. > The unit produces 400bhp at 6400rpm – not far at all from the BMW M3’s 425bhp figure – and 350lb ft of torque from 1600-5200rpm. While not pitched as a direct competitor to cars like the M3, figures like those should deliver entertaining performance. > **[Infiniti Q50 – New turbo V6, improved steering for BMW 3-series rival | Evo](https://www.evo.co.uk/infiniti/17159/infiniti-q50-new-turbo-v6-improved-steering-for-bmw-3-series-rival)** > > A new 400bhp V6 will top the revised Infiniti Q50 range when it appears in 2016 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-infiniti-gtr/268466.md?page=2)
