The INFINITI Q60, a stunning evolution in sport coupé design, has earned its place in the hearts of enthusiasts across Idaho. The V37 generation, produced between 2017 and 2022, replaced the storied G37 Coupe lineage and introduced a fresh nomenclature that paid homage to its performance roots. With a powerful twin-turbo 3.0t V6 engine and rear-wheel-drive dynamics, the Q60 captivates drivers who crave both elegance and raw power. Idaho’s scenic roads beckon Q60 owners to relish in spirited drives, whether they are new lease returns or seasoned performance enthusiasts looking to upgrade.
As the Q60 matures, Idaho drivers are increasingly seeking to transition their beloved sport coupés, driven by project-car fatigue, lifestyle changes, or simply the desire for the latest technology. These transitions create an incredible opportunity for donors to contribute to Idaho Wheels Forward, allowing the next generation of enthusiasts to experience this remarkable vehicle. The Q60 not only represents a refined driving experience but also a community – a legacy that we invite you to keep alive through your generous donation.
📖Generation guide
V37 • 2017-2022
The sole generation under the Q60 nameplate, this model showcases a 3.0t twin-turbo V6 in 300hp and 400hp Red Sport variants, emphasizing performance and elegance.
Known issues by generation
While the V37 generation of the INFINITI Q60 is a marvel of performance, it is not without its known issues. Notably, the VR30DDTT 3.0t V6 has been associated with timing-chain stretch, particularly in higher-mileage Red Sport 400 models. Drivers have also reported complaints regarding the 7-speed Jatco automatic transmission, including slow downshifts in Sport mode and harsh shifting. Paint defects, particularly in 2017-2018 models, have led to clear-coat delamination, while the Direct Adaptive Steering system has raised reliability concerns. Additionally, challenges such as turbo cooling issues and infotainment lag have been noted, demanding attention from future owners.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of the Q60 reflects its unique standing in the sport coupe market, especially the coveted Red Sport 400 trim, which captures strong appreciation among enthusiasts. Models in excellent condition, particularly those with an automatic transmission or all-wheel drive, tend to command higher values. Enthusiasts often pay premiums for low-mileage examples that are well-documented, especially those that avoid the pitfalls of typical wear and issues. Notably, the Q60’s discontinuation in 2022 is likely to drive long-term value appreciation, particularly for the enthusiast-focused Red Sport models and any modified examples with proper documentation.
Donation process for this model
Donating your INFINITI Q60 is a straightforward process with Idaho Wheels Forward. To facilitate your donation, we recommend using a low-clearance flatbed for transport, especially important for vehicles that may have been tracked or modified. Transparency about any modifications, performance enhancements, or history of track use is vital, as it affects valuation. Providing service records for gear oil and coolant changes can further enhance the donation’s appeal. We appreciate your willingness to support fellow enthusiasts through this process.
Idaho regional notes
Idaho boasts a vibrant community of Q60 owners, with many engaging in the tuner scene and local track events. However, living in the snow-prone areas can pose challenges such as corrosion risks on aluminum and composite body panels, making well-maintained vehicles particularly desirable. Garage-stored examples in Idaho often represent the best of the Q60 lineage, standing as symbols of pride for their owners. By donating your vehicle, you’re contributing to a passionate community that values performance and engineering excellence.
