Infiniti Q60 concept for Detroit

Infiniti's sports coupe is being replaced, by what is anyone's guess!

---

For those few who have experienced it, the Infiniti Q60 (or G37 as it was previously known) has proved quietly impressive. Capable handling, a nice interior and the fact it isn't one of the usual suspects has enamoured it to a few. Then you check HowManyLeft and there are 185 G37s of all types registered in the UK.

Replacing this, in case you'd forgotten

Anyway, Infiniti is to replace the Q60 with a new model at the Detroit show next month. At present there really is the bare minimum of information available. Along with this rather indistinct image with Infiniti has added that 'muscular lines are revealed in the silhouette'.

It looks sleek enough but there's really not a lot you can tell from this, is there? Then we're into the discussion of how far concepts look like production cars... For what it's worth, Infiniti says "wheels placed out at the corners of Q60 Concept make an unmistakable design statement and add to the exhilaration of the performance coupe." Cynicism aside for a second, the recently launched Q80 Inspiration was a bit of a looker so we remain hopeful.

Infiniti will show the Q60 Concept in full at Detroit but expect one or two 'teasers' before then to frustrate a little further. And what's happened to that Q50 Eau Rouge?

Wheels placed at the corners?
as opposed to where?

...and judging by the drawing, they're far from pushed to the very edge of the corner ...

I don't think they can be bothered to write anything meaningful at this stage...

I'm guessing we never received the IPL sport model of the g37. Shame as it is one of my favourite looking coupes, and one of my favourite to drive on Forza.

I’d have one of these over almost every alternative I can think of. Shame the interior isn’t that nice.
