- Quick drive and review of the 2016 Infiniti Q50s 3.0t Red Sport 400. Full review at • Video . RWD, 7-speed auto, 400hp twin turbo V6 engine - what a beautiful concept. The interior is equally as brilliant, with a unique and stellar touch-screen setup. I'm even impressed with the price. infinitinews.co...

"This is uh, 60 mph. That's a... something, going whatever"
*smashes gas pedal*
I cried laughing at that
lmao
in the case of the Infiniti Q50. yes the all wheel drive is indeed quicker. 0-60 times for the Red Sport are 4.7 and 4.5 AWD being the quicker. but note that those are on run flat tires. I have seen them do a whole second quicker on summer tires. there is actually a video on UA-cam.
+Kripple Hippo well both are still fast lol. Rwd is a lot more fun while awd is safer
Virtuoso7 yes. 4.7 seconds is still quick in my book.
This dude crack me up.
Found sport + mode and shit got real lol
And here I am 5 years later after purchasing a red sport 400. Still an awesome video to watch haha
That's awesome!
i love my g37, but this Q50 Red Sport is making me want to buy a new car.
+joe blow Same here! So tempting...
I'm getting the q60s. Same twin turbo engine. I have a q50s now. Love it. Great car. Great reliability for me
:')
Besides bent wheels (aftermarket) and eating my brakes the G has been absolutely epic. So much better than my 5 series which almost caught fire! Gonna test drive the Red Sport soon.
Just wait and get the Q60
agree... great ride in my Q50 AWD
2017 Q60s 3.0t coupe my next car. Currently have q50s and love it.
+Amaury Linares Thanks for watching!
this is the first decent review I have seen on the "red sport" I have the '15 Q50s awd this car has to be the most under-rated luxury sports car in the market. Even with the old 3.7L 326hp this car flies, and is quiet and comfortable. One note on the HVAC switches if you hit climate almost everything is also touch screen so has the hard buttons I think just for people who don't like touch. The defrost, seat warmer, and steering warmers are all featured in climate page and all have an Auto option. Also the steering you keep mentioning, you can go to user functions in lower screen adjust steering to sport pedal to eco standard etc. and adjust all sensitivity.
+Justin Bumstead Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment.
Great review New Car Spin. Best one out there of the Q50 3.0! Noting the 0-60 on this RWD version was around 4.8 im guessing the AWD you'd be looking at around 4.3-4.4 territory. Again finally a great review unlike the others out there on this car. Keep up the good work.
+Chee00 Thanks for watching and

Love his reaction like a kid at a candy store! PRICELESS! Love my 3.0T myself.
You still got it?
@@Virt7_ no I don't
@@JRDNGIXX I might get one. Is it worth it still
this car has INTELLIGENT AWD SYSTEM which is sick, meaning that the car will adapt to road conditions and send more power to whichever tire needs it the most, eg.when driving on a snowy road or wet roads, but after, the car goes back to RWD on normal conditions. I had a G37x Awd and this car is my next upgrade.
awesome video great job i see you really enjoying the car
Loved your review and emotion to the car :) will definitely be test driving this
Just a FYI @ 7:17 . You can use the paddle shifters without moving the gear shift knob over. So...if you are passing and want to grab a lower gear you can just press the left paddle. Moving the shifter knob over allows you to manually control the gears with the knob and I think it will also keep whatever gear you are in without automatically upshifting (within certain RPMs I'm sure). My Q50 Red Sport should be here tomorrow (shipping it in from Tennessee). :)
+jjkusaf Congrats! Thanks for the info and thanks for watching
300 and 400 hp model is in the Same engine family as the GTR
Bet thing I like about the car is the manifolds they are a superb design
I installed a 3 in cat-back to mine and a cold air intake and is a 2014 q-50 and although it is loud the power is amazing
That Corolla got owned!
+ssjMaximum22Goku @6:12 Indeed!
I enjoyed the video. I have a G37x. Did not like the Q50 at first, but now with twin turbo, I love it. I know in a year or so infiniti will up the HP add dual clutch and compete with M3 and M5 and the lower price AMG
No they won't. There are 3 engine options for Q50 2.0T(208hp//260torque.......3.0 Single Turbo(300hp)Red Sport 3.0 Twin Turbo(400hp),they won't be adding a dual clutch for this generation. Q60 isn't getting a DCT either and it's the flagship car...... Q50 power wise can hang with the cars you mentions but it can't handle like a bimmer. Best bang for the buck of the cars you mentioned. AWD Q50 Red Sport has insane traction and launch ability,engine is reva happy and is more responsive in manual mode. It's a detuned version of the previous GTR engine,somewhat of a 4DR Skyline without the insane noise...GLWP
Both V6s are twinturbo.

what you said about the auto lights being one tick over, THAT is one thing that has always bothered me! I'm so glad you said that, because now I don't feel like the only one.
+Kripple Hippo It was something that had to be said. Thanks for watching!
Across the board, I've personally never seen a car, that the first option was "auto" in terms of headlight control including MB, BMW, etc.. so I initially felt you were bing overly picky, but that "DAMNNNNN" reaction to your 60 mph pull brought you back to the Infiniti hive, lol.
It's definitely quicker than the Audi S4 and the BMW 340
+eltingville81 Here's the thing about that... S4 production ended and the US won't get the new S4 until what might be a year. There is the new 340i but this Infiniti is a huge surprise... it's a sleeper.
+eltingville81 And cheaper, because this car with 400hp starts at $47K+ infinitinews.com/en-US/infiniti/usa/channels/us-united-states-infiniti-models-infiniti-q50
hell yeah i gap almost most cars out there, keeps up with electric ones for sure
@@NewCarSpin i crashed mine into a street sign pole narrowly missing a telegraph pole at 100mph. luckily i hit the curb and there was nothing on other side, i slid for about 100 metres on grass onto a embankment. if this was another street or scene i would have been killed or severely injured. esp if i hit telegraph pole lol
I woulda had traction control off....yes even with a wet road. I love my Q50, even stock it's fun as hell to drive.
The comment at 6:04 sums it up. Dayummm!
Infiniti finally got with the program and started turbocharging like the Germans.
The Q50 3.0s in 300hp or 400hp have twin-turbo engines.
Not sure on the numbers. but as an owner the traction is phenomenal with AWD. 0-60 times a assume are a tick faster.
DAMN THAT BLUE SCATPACK AT THE START THO😍 and the viper and srt 😩
When will Infiniti get with the program and get black headliners 🙄
I'm personally not a fan of black headliners. It's claustrophobic and depressing in most cars, and somewhat acceptable if there's a panoramic sunroof.
Black headliner is the way to go for sports cars! Agreed!
Mine has a black headliner. Found the Havana brown seats though, so it'd be weird if the headliner wasn't black.
Nice video my dude!!!!!
+Byron Medina Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe because there are more videos coming soon.
Wonder how it feels compared to the 335? Being it's also v6 turbo but rated at 300 HP
+Herakles BMW 6-cylinder engines are inline (I6). There are differences between the 3-series and Q50, and that's a good thing.
I've been in both and the Infiniti hands down in the high end power department this car loves to pull even at highway speeds it just takes off..335i would probly stick around from 0-60 then this thing is gone...
This is meant to be placed performance-wise between the 340i and Caddy ATS-V/bmw M3
Many people have something against this car and I dont really get the reason, I like it and its special maybe not the best car but for its price it might be. Not sure which car I'll get next year but this one is on my top3
was this an infiniti event? there seemed to be a lot of other brands
+NIGHTMAREuki This was a journalist event with other brands. It was to select category leaders and the "Car of Texas" winner.
That's why I picked up a '13 G37x... 11K miles off of a lease for under $26k.
The weird thing is it has a tiny oil filter- but, it has 2 stock air filters.
I need a pair of K&N stock box air filters
: together add 14hp to the 328hp so we are talking 342hp : yes still may need to budget for tires.
It's marketing Yes,
but if you had the choice of having the paper air filter material taped over your face....VS. the surgical cotton material in these type filters....
which would you choose to breath through?
Most advertise more Air Flow as 7 or 8 or 10 HP
This application is 2 small filters with a gain of 7 HP each.
Ask the Colorado guys who get much slower 0-60 times, At Mile High Altitude.... if the lack of air pressure at Altitude impacts power & torque.
Everyone knows more Air in Means more power no matter how measurable.
Don't be a Hater!!
Regardless, aftermarket solutions for the VQ's less than adequate tq curve and power to liter ratio are plentiful, but weak in the cost to gain dept for NA bolt ons. If you want real power, FI is the best route.
+Michael C. no Michael it will not make that much, maybe if you add an exhaust as well. i got me a '09 G37x for $15k...def a bargain when compared to this $50k car. so don't fret about HP man, our cars are still faster than 90% of the cars on the road anyways.
Are serious..........? You get 14 hp by installing a pair of K@N stock box air filters? Will this give filters give 14 hp to my Q50? It should right because it is the same 3.7 liters they use in both cars?
When you mention FI do you mean going Turbo or Supercharger?
same ol key that's been used now for like 10 years, he said very nice!!!!!
If you look at the key of the QX30, it's using a modified version of the key Mercedes introduced 17 years ago. The Q50 key is perfect.
Is there a manual option?
+b864r Nope. I'd fry the clutch, so I'm fine with going automatic on this in rwd.
great video
Thanks! You should watch my second take on the Q50 ua-cam.com/video/SPz3whzSAcU/v-deo.html
2016 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 does the 0-60 in the following: Sport plus mode 4.8s, Sport mode 5.3s, Normal mode 5.8s.
How? Traction control? Or what?
+Mikhail Mazur what comparison:
Sport plus mode over the sport mode?
And
Sport mode over normal mode?
a 400hp car doing 5.8sec???? A G37 does 0-60 in 5.3 sec without DS mode. What the hell are you smoking?
More like 4.5-5.0 sec is the 0-60 times.
sorry bro I have to disagree with you. Even the old G37 Sedan are hitting 5.2s from 0-60 and the 2014-2015 Q50S with 328 doing 0-60 in 4.8s. Google for proof. This is much faster then that because it has more horsepower, torques and it has a twinturbo on it.
Where are you getting information. Please STOP posting incorrection information. Google my information and you will see for youself.
thats uh something going what ever, lmfao toyotas get no love
q50 or q60 ???
+Lue Xyooj Q50
thank you !
Getting my 16, red sport this month only 18 (I work) and get paid good for my age 🔥🔥🔥 I’ll post it on here subscribe guyssss cause races ARE COMING 😈 first race will be against my boy -ATSV he’s faster 600 hp but it will be fun 🤣🤣🤣
No street racing. Have fun!
New Car Spin 😁😁😁
suposed to keep it floored for 0-60
loved that moment when he passes the Corolla
I love passing all Corollas. The last thing you want is to be stuck behind one.
Only thing worse is getting stuck behind a Lexus. They don't manufacture them with the long slender pedal on the right hand side. :P
I see that map issue hasn't been rectified yet, ugh! I can't stand that about my '14. Just terrible Infiniti, smh
I thought they go for 56K

makes me want to turbocharge my 13 g37x
you can't...... not built for turbo
Prolly be cheaper than trading the '13 for the $50k rs400 model.
put the damn thing in sports mode
nice vid
+Mike060504 Thanks for watching, Mike!
Uncle buck!
+Robert Wallace Go buck yourself.
New Car Spin 😂😂😂😂
I think my 429 hp genesis r spec is faster on highway.
I heard that LOL! "FFFF"!! Cut!
+Ted Davis I haven't driven a car like this in a long time.
+New Car Spin get your hands on AWD one, it will be stupid fast of the line
stickier tires and I guarantee 0-60 in the low 4 sec range.
not without vlsd, it's gonna be tire hopping anyways...
pakigangsta5 It's already been tested at 4.5 seconds 0-60. That's on stock tires. Again, with better tires this thing could dip into the high 3's. Tire hop? This thing is RWD. LSD? This car already has one.
There is a video already. 3.5 on summers
BINGO! I didn't wanna push it too far but knew it in my head. I'm somewhat conservative by nature.
I am an infiiniti/ nissan fanatic, there is no LSD on this car, so it will not put the power down that efficiently. and 400hp with 3850 lb weight is not gonna dip into the 3s. the new bmw m3 has 425 hp and weighs 3600 lb does it is high 3s.
The tires on there SUCK. Needs super sports to achieve its potential.
+Mario Munoz I agree somewhat. I can tell you it rained the night before and the ground was moist. But I didn't get the chance to take this car on the track. So far, wheel spin from 3k-7k rpm is impressive, albeit due to lack of traction. I neglected to check which tires were on this car.
dude stop short shifting on the 60mph run
What are you talking about? It's an automatic.
+Diesel Review I know it's an auto...it thought maybe he was using the paddles..after watching I supposed that he was not. my bad.
that thing is fast lol
That was the worst review I've ever watched
+LA'sFinest That's the worst comment I ever received.
