Compact sport sedan (2014-present). VQ37 then VR30DDTT twin-turbo V6. Red Sport 400 is the standout.
The Infiniti Q50 replaced the G sedan as Infiniti compact sport sedan. Early cars used the familiar VQ37 V6 and a hybrid option, but the car came into its own with the VR30DDTT twin-turbo 3.0 liter V6, offered in 300 horsepower and 400 horsepower Red Sport 400 tunes. The Red Sport 400 is the enthusiast model, delivering genuine pace and a strong tuning ceiling from its twin-turbo V6. The Q50 also introduced Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering, a steer-by-wire system. On WhipJury, Red Sport 400 builds with downpipes and tunes appear regularly, making impressive power for the money.
