For those looking for a sports coupe, there are two major factors to consider before making a decision. Should one consider the vehicle’s unique design or its dynamic performance? Infiniti’s newly launched sports coupe is the answer to both, the luxury carmaker said.

“The all-new-400-horsepower coupe not only stimulates drivers’ speeding instinct but also embodies Infiniti’s design philosophy of powerful elegance, making graceful racing possible,” said the company’s importer and distributor in Seoul.

The coupe features Infiniti’s signature double-arch grille and crescent-shaped C filler as well as light-emitting diode headlights designed in the shape of human eyes.

The body is buttressed by 20-inch alloy wheels, and an asymmetric center fascia complements semi-aniline leather finished with dark gray stitching and piping, making the vehicle appear more luxurious.

Powered by the V6 twin turbo engine, which was named the world’s top engine by US news outlet Ward’s Auto, the Infiniti Q60 has maximum output of 405 horsepower and 48.4 kilogram-force meters of torque.

Safety features also include a direct adaptive steering system and dynamic digital suspension system that offers responsive steering and safety in driving. The premium sports coupe by Infiniti Q60 is available around the world. The price of the vehicle starts from 69.7 million won ($64,540) in South Korea with tax included.
