The 2016 Q50 update gets some new turbo motors. They look good on paper.

These top turbo models are for the models in the States but I see no reason why they would not be offered in Euro land or SA-spec cars.

Maybe they will be seen in future high end Nissan models as well.

"The new 2016 Infiniti Q50 sports sedan is being launched with a number of performance and dynamic upgrades that deliver a more empowering and rewarding drive experience. The comprehensive updates include a trio of all-new advanced turbocharged engines, along with next-generation ride and handling technologies."

"Infiniti's most advanced V6 leads the refreshed engine line up

The all-new 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, from the new and exclusive "VR-series" powertrain family, has been developed to deliver optimal power and torque, alongside greater fuel efficiency. The high-output version of the power unit delivers 400 horsepower (298 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) maximum torque at 1,600-5,200 rpm. The standard output version produces 300 horsepower (224 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm (295) torque at 1,600-5,200 rpm."

Driving one of these as a rental today, got the 2.0T. Really nice car, very comfortable.

Some of the buttons in the centre console are a bit redundant though. Took me a bit of time to get used to the auto box and even in sport and manual mode it isn't very responsive - or maybe it was just turbo lag? This is the first turbo car I've ever driven.

As a luxury car it is awesome though

There was a Sport version parked next to me when I picked the car up, looks sick with the body kit
