Infiniti Q60 will be One of the Hottest Cars to Arrive in 2016

The two door coupe from Infiniti wearing Q60 badge surely stood out from so many fantastic cars at the floor of 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

The twin-turbo powered Q60 featured oversized front grille and 21-inch wheels, with a design based on the company's 2009 Essence concept.

Michael Bartsch, vice president for Infiniti Americas, says the Q60 will step into the slot formerly occupied by the G37 coupe, a nameplate that averaged 14,000 sales a year over its 12-year run.

"This car will become one of the brand's four cornerstones," he says "There will be the Q60, Q50, the new Q30, which comes soon, and the QX60 crossover.

"There are 170,000 people out there who bought the previous coupe and may buy the new one," Bartsch says. "That's a huge opportunity for us."

The new Q60 will be powered by a 3.0-liter, direct-injection, twin-turbocharged V-6 engine.  The power output rating is still kept secret, but this same setup will most likely be used in Infiniti's future model - fastback Q80 which was showcased during lat year's Paris Auto Show.

A 2-door version of Q60 is planned for 2016 and a convertible version is follow shortly after that, most likely in early 2017.
