Infiniti is extending curent Q50 range in the US with the announcement of pricing information for its 3.0T version. Equipped with the all-new 300-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo engine, the new Q50 3.0t complete the 2016 Q50 lineup, which now offers buyers a choice of four powerplants and 12 versions.
The new Infiniti Q50 Sport models offer an updated Direct Adaptive Steering system and driver-selectable Dynamic Digital Suspension.
Designated by the silver chrome "S" badge on the trunk, Sport models also feature a sport styled front fascia, 19-inch sport wheels, larger sport brakes, leather-appointed sport seats, aluminum-accented pedals and solid magnesium paddle shifters.
The 2016 Infiniti Q50 is also available with three other powertrains – a new 2.0-liter I4 turbo, a 3.5-liter V6 hybrid and the performance flagship of the Q50 portfolio, the Q50 Red Sport 400 equipped with a 400-horsepower/350 lb-ft of torque version of the 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo engine.
The Q50 2.0t and Q50 Hybrid Premium models offer pricing starting at $33,950 and $47,050 respectively. The Q50 Red Sport 400 has a starting MSRP of $47,950.
"The 2016 Q50 3.0t Premium’s new VR-series 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo engine produces 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque," said Randy Parker, vice president, Infiniti America. "Positioned as the core volume trim, the Q50 3.0t offers twin turbo V6 performance at a starting MSRP under $40,000 – a price comparable to 4-cylinder engine-equipped vehicles offered by our main competitors."
