The 2017 Infiniti Q60 will join the turbocharging craze.
Dumping the naturally-aspirated V6 engine, the Japanese automaker is giving the entry-model Q60 a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while a more powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 will be available in two flavors: one with 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and another with 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Lower and wider than its predecessors, the new Q60 comes standard with 19-inch wheels while shoppers can opt for larger 20-inch units.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that the Q60 will only be available with a seven-speed automatic transmission, regardless of which engine is chosen. Available with rear- or all-wheel drive, the Q60 will be available later this summer. Find out more about this turbocharged luxury sports coupe by watching our first look video below.
