finally… fucksake…

but that is too Lexus / Hyundai Genesisy for me…

i’m sure in person it will look real good though. i like the Q50 sedans better than the lexus counterpart and the 3 series.

stick the GTR drive-line in this and charge $120k for it please…

Still a concept (21" wheels) but interesting progress. Drove my brother’s new Q50 when I was out in San Diego and it was a nice driving sedan. Nothing to get excited about but delivered as expected.  
That interior is beautiful.

2015 Q50 IS a great DD. Plenty of power and love all the gadgets it comes with. Heated steering wheel ftw!

the car looks real good… i’m sure it’ll streamline down a bit for production. that said, Infiniti has always had the stuf to go head to head with BMW but they’ve just been worried about the business case i think. the G coupes never really went after the M cars even though they easily could have with one more drivetrain option.

if they do it with this i’ll go back to Infiniti

IPL was a bitch move… a skirt package and a set of wheels on a G37… both the wheels and skirts were poop too.

> Tweaks to the ECU and a new, freer-flowing dual-exhaust system yield another 18 hp for a total of 348 at 7400 rpm, and torque rises by 6 lb-ft to 276 at 5200 rpm. The chassis gets unique spring rates and shock tuning, as well as the sportier steering, huge brake discs, and brake calipers from the G37S

6 torques is huge… I thought they had done more for that model, but I was wrong.

The wheels certainly suck. The chrome around the windows needs to be black, in addition to a few other things. So yeah it has been softened for production but maybe they’ll have that side blade stuff on a performance model. I still like the ISF if it’s side styling.

Also no interior shots so who knows if the good stuff was included.
