    Infiniti Red Sport Forum 2018 Infiniti Q60S 3.0t Long-Term Arrival

    In a bit of Motor Trend irony, our fleet overlords have decided to trust me with what can be considered a luxury sports car in the form of a 2018 Infiniti Q60 3.0t Sport coupe. In previous updates and verdicts, I've professed, somewhat piously, to not having a primal need for speed. But am I...

    Infiniti Red Sport Forum 2018 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 Review

    The 2018 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 is a heavy car at 3,744 pounds, but not nearly as pendulous as that name. And while the Japanese have a glorious history of grandiose car names-see the domestic market Toyota Crown Majesta 10th Anniversary Type C or Isuzu Statesman de Ville-the string of words...

    Infiniti Red Sport Forum 2018 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 First Drive: The Higher-Performance Alternative

    Infiniti Red Sport Forum Road test: 2017 Infiniti Q50S Red Sport 400

    More often than not, personal context has a huge effect on initial impressions of a car. Take the Red Sport 400. The previous car I drove before jumping inside the headline draw of Infiniti's Q50 range was a Lamborghini Hurac?n. Which, by rights, should make the Japanese sports saloon seem about...

    Remember when Infiniti was a performance brand? Yeah, it has been a while since then, but Infiniti appears to be getting some of its mojo back. The new, athletic-looking 2017 Q60 coupe is leading the charge, but is it the second coming of the beloved original G35 coupe? Yes and no. One reason...

    Romeo, oh Romeo, pray tell us why two-door luxury sports coupes, like the swoopy, curvaceous 2017 Infiniti Q60 I?m driving, make our hearts soar, our hands go clammy and our heads fill with the overpowering urge to sign on the dotted line? After all, coupes make no rational sense. They have two...

    Infiniti Red Sport Forum 2017 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400

    In the months leading up to its debut in 1989, Infiniti launched a major ad campaign using images of calm seas, serene skies, and open roads - just about anything but cars. In the nearly three decades since, Nissan's luxury brand has always been in the scrum, but it has rarely had the visibility...
