You guys are probably feeling the difference of the Q50 traditional rack and pinion steering vs the Q60 with the Direct Adaptive Steering which feels a little video gamey and takes a little while to get used to. The 60 just looks so much better and the coupe is definitely my favorite. Plus the 60 is RWD which makes it a little more skittish but actually more fun to drive in my opinion.
The reason why you probably felt the drive for both cars were different was probably because the q60 was rwd while the q50 was awd. AWD cars have more traction on the ground which helped contribute to the torque feeling.
It's rare to get a Q50/Q60 AWD down south, unless you custom order it. Same thing if you want a RWD up north. I had a co-worker who wanted a RWD in NYC, but had to special order it because of the rarity behind it. Ended up getting the AWD instead because he needed the car ASAP
I only want a 2016 Q50. ONLY because of the magnesium paddle shifters I hate how companies are going cheap with the whole plastic wheel mounted garbage.
Ken W good to know still I hate wheel mounted paddles. I drive a 2007 Sport sedan column mounted is great when you’re turning because they have a nice size that gives you a great “hand placement range” where as the wheel mounted you can on have you hand in one spot really.
This is the second comparison where it was said the Q50s RS400 felt faster and handled slightly better than the Q60s RS400. It's probably because the Q50s is a little lighter in weight than the Q60s, plus the 19" wheels on the Q50s are lighter than the 20" wheels of the Q60s. The lighter weight of the car and especially in the wheels would improve acceleration, braking and handling. Just my guess as to why this is.
Super excited to begin this and finished it with a BIG SMILE. Great duo - bring Julio back! I have a 2013 G37x (AWD). In my model year and prior, the G drove like a RWD and the AWD (if available) would kick in when needed. It's nice to have RWD feel on the AWD models. When I drive spirited, I can get a little tail happy but it quickly corrects itself since I have a AWD model. Nice feature though, to have it kick on only when needed. Thanks for the video Hector!!
AYE GUYS HELP NEEDED IN DECIDING ON BUYING THE Q50 OR THE Q60 PLEASE HELP. Im going to buy an Infinti for sure either that or a S63 AMG benz buy yhat might be a little too spendy for me right now the AMG is anywhere from $70k to 125k n the imfinti brand new i can get for around 33k to 35k so i might hold off on the AMG which brings me too decied between the Q50-Q60. So mu thoughts r to to have a daily sleeper with in take exgust possibly a turbo lowered rims pushing idk 500HP since the 2020 Q50 Red Sport comes with 400hp stock already with 4.5sec 0 to 60 time for $42k .So with 500hp if ever needed i'll at least have some balls/power to smash it. So with that being said which one would be the better opition for this build. Please help me out n leave a coment n let me know which one too buy Q50 or Q60? I've got 5 days left going to pick one up on Saturday. thanks cant wait to see what people comment n lean more towards.
those were both RWD. AWD stands a little higher than RWD and would have come with "AWD" badge if it were. Plus, Q50 AWD is pretty rare in the south just as RWD version is in north/northeast.
I own a RWD red sport and did a good comparison between the two before buying. You can visual compare thru other UA-cam channels who already did the review (redline, alex on autos, etc.) or check out InfinitiQ50.org forum. I can also tell you that even the engine oil filter is relocated to the front for AWD model.
The reason the Q60 doesn't drive as good is because the distance from the front wheel to the rear. It's like comparing a limo to a miata lol the grill looks better on the 50 too...but then again the 60's got a GREAT AZZ!!!
LOL going around a turn "lack of confidence?" That's because it's supposed to be that way to kick out the tail when it's a RWD. Both cars are literally exactly the same drive trainwise and setup. LOL.
Drove it, was disappointed in the lack of sporting feel. Felt about the same as a regular Q60 3.0. The red sport should be a more serious package. Think Audi S5 or Cadillac ATS-V. Instead they delivered something closer to the Lincoln MKZ 3.0T with the drivers package. Take the Red Sport up a notch Nissan
so did u ever end up buying the q60? just asking cause im actully looking at buying either thw Q50 or the Q60 havent decided on which one thought u might have something too add that i havnt thought off yet since u might actully own one itd be hella dope if you could reply itd relly help me out in making my decison. So far im some what leaning trowards the Q50 but taking in all saggestions at the moment

The Q50 sounded like it was maybe equipped with the optional performance exhaust and the Q60 sounded like the standard exhaust.
Just got a 2017 Q-50 red sport and I must say I LOVE IT!!
Are you coming from a G or different vehicle?
@@latino914 Gs are crap
@@iwatchfamilyguy literally how
Great video Hector, you and Julio complimented each other well. The Justice League just got a new dynamic duo!!! Good job!
George Bryant hahaha!! Thanks George!
The Q60 is beautiful. Getting that in a few months

Infinti’s intelligent AWD. It will only activate if the rwd tires loses grip. So it’s RWD unless the car loses grip.
It's rare to get a Q50/Q60 AWD down south, unless you custom order it. Same thing if you want a RWD up north. I had a co-worker who wanted a RWD in NYC, but had to special order it because of the rarity behind it. Ended up getting the AWD instead because he needed the car ASAP

+Alex Bennett yeah I know man :( I miss the paddle shifters
Agreed bro. I have a 17' redsport and love the paddles. Can't believe they went tiny plastic for 18'
The paddles on 2018 Q50 is not plastic, they are still magnesium but it’s on the wheel instead of the column. Q60 got the small plastic paddle.
Ken W good to know still I hate wheel mounted paddles. I drive a 2007 Sport sedan column mounted is great when you’re turning because they have a nice size that gives you a great “hand placement range” where as the wheel mounted you can on have you hand in one spot really.
The 2014-2015 models come with the same exact paddle shifters, which are also the same as the early GTR models and Q35/37 shifters.
Yessss finally a channel that is cool I love the 50
This is the second comparison where it was said the Q50s RS400 felt faster and handled slightly better than the Q60s RS400.

I agree ☝️
Lets cold start it then rev the piss out if it 🤙🏻🤦🏻♂️
Nicholas Toniolo it’s okay the cars can take it😎

VQ3713 thank you so much Bro! Julio will be in many more to come!
VQ3713 great comment. Detailed. Idek if my 550 awd does the same. Now I'm curious. Feel confident as f around corners @120 tho

Saying it doesn't feel as planted makes me think they were different drivetrains. Was one AWD and the other RWD?
kgkustomz97ser I didn't check but o do think the Q60 was RWD
kgkustomz97ser exactly man wtf was that. It wasnt a review it was no details at all. Wasted my time
those were both RWD. AWD stands a little higher than RWD and would have come with "AWD" badge if it were. Plus, Q50 AWD is pretty rare in the south just as RWD version is in north/northeast.
EK Pogi I don't think the AWD and rwd suspensions differ on the red sport. And I don't recall them having an AWD badge either on the red sport

Lol! All the mirrors are pretty helpful...Lol!
Well done guys. Love both of these beauties
which is faster the q60 or the q50
You should do a review of the exhaust note in the cabin with the artificial filter off. Tutorials all over UA-cam.
Alex Bennett yes
The reason the Q60 doesn't drive as good is because the distance from the front wheel to the rear. It's like comparing a limo to a miata lol the grill looks better on the 50 too...but then again the 60's got a GREAT AZZ!!!
Justice league new dynamic!!! Woot woot!!! Awesome video TJ!
Janell DiMattina thank you!!!

I think red sports are awd I may be wrong though brodie

Were both these cars awd?
Eric Robinson i think so, not 100% sure
They were both RWD it they were AWD they would have an AWD badging on the top left of the trunk
These were both RWD.... if they were AWD it would have the “awd” on the trunk....
Q60 is huuuge for a coupe
Don't get it then
It’s because its stiffer that you think it didn’t handle or ride as well as the q50
That wasn't a review right?... Df did u review? A personal choice?
Did the Q50 have DAS
Hold the navigation button to cut the screen off. If you buy one you can learn how to use it
They probably got the q50 in AWD and got the q60 in RWD
Sport mode makes it louder in the cabin.
Great video , any comment on the direct adaptive steering ?
What did he says at 13:38 lol ? I really want to know
Tee Da Boss 'I know it has 350 lb/ft of torque '. (Pound/feet)
Amazing fing video
At 8.44 turbo kicks in automatically lmaf 🤣. Then at 9.01, you guys don't know if it's fwd or rwd, pls do research beforehand.
2:05 bruh the Infiniti literally used the same interior of the q60 as the q50
They have different seats.
Additional pershion?
both are very exciteding cars the Q50 is the better car.
@Donald Trump needs new rims
now where’s the… the drag race? Oml
Where in the hell did you get these people everybody can't review cars DAMN!!!!!
Too funny. I’m from wpb and I was looking at a q60
so did u ever end up buying the q60? just asking cause im actully looking at buying either thw Q50 or the Q60 havent decided on which one thought u might have something too add that i havnt thought off yet since u might actully own one itd be hella dope if you could reply itd relly help me out in making my decison. So far im some what leaning trowards the Q50 but taking in all saggestions at the moment
The q60 is twice the price
AWD VS RWD MY DUDES GRIP WISE JUST SAYIN. IM A Q50 ROLLER
nav is outdated as hell...no apple car play no android. Q60 needs a V8 like the Coyote engine from Mustang !!
kubanskiloewe does the gtr even have a v8 lol
no, but i miss a V8 in those car because LEXUS has such nice coupes with the 477hp V8 !
TT V6 is nissans signature engines
q50s is awd
They have a rwd
trash review
