Isnt it odd that Nissan didnt offer this package on the coupe aka Q60?

That's because the Q60 was never released in Japan, North America and Europe only.

It's also dead now, 2022 was the last model year.

I find a couple of things interesting here -

This makes more torque than the Z NISMO. A little over 20 lb-ft. Why aren't we giving the Z that much torque? Is the 9AT a limiting factor compared to the 7AT they're keeping in the Q50?

I really do like it. I have a soft spot for the Q50. It would be amazing if they made a manual version - I would probably buy one. I would really like to drive this one, but we'll never see it here unless Infiniti manages to pull off something remotely exciting. They seem content doing the "luxury people mover" thing at a marginal level instead.

I noticed the TQ #..... I think I converted it right its 404 lbs vs the 384 for the Z NISMO?

Looks nice but has two/too many doors/seats.

tbh the Q50 is 2nd only to the Giulia when it comes to "Best Driver's Sedan" - It doesn't feel it's weight, at all.

I just wished the offsets weren't so weak on them.....and they had a better transmission option than the old 7spd with it's TCM issues.

I'm keeping the Q50 as a DD until the wheels fall off.

Boy I miss mine from time to time. I had a 2015 with the Rays package (I was able to add after purchase). The car was just so freakin solid. I had absolutely no complaints whatsoever with it. I would also consider it a bit more bulletproof than what we've seen out of the VR30s in the 16-20 models. I see a lot of horror stories with them.

After coming from BMW and N54 this is reason #1 I went for a CPO 3.7 at the time.
