According to Automotive News, Infiniti will discontinue the Q60 coupe in the year 2023. No reasons are cited for the decision, but it does not take a genius to figure out what is going on.
A single look at the sales figures explains everything. In 2020, the company sold a dismal 2,792 units, marking a 44.6% decline from the previous year. The downward trend continued in the first half of 2021: the sales dipped by another 10% compared to the same period of 2020.
The latest generation came out in 2017, offering a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 304 PS (300 hp / 224 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. A higher spec was also available with 405 PS (400 hp / 298 kW) and 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) of torque. You could choose between RWD and AWD, but the seven-speed automatic transmission was a given.
In 2017, Infiniti and the Renault F1 team introduced the Q60 Project Black S, a hybrid car concept capable of 507 PS (500 hp / 373 kW). Rumors had been circulating that it would eventually make it into production, but it never did.
