Standard turbocharged V6 power

The 2020 Infiniti Q50 has the power you crave in all trim levels, though some are a lot wilder than others. The standard 3.0L turbocharged V6 in PURE, LUXE, and SPORT trims pumps out 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. This delivers a 5.4-second zero-to-60 acceleration time, but if you want a true performance sedan, opt for the RedSport 400 trim. It boasts a revised 3.0L with 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain zips the Q50 to 60 mph in a sports-car-like 4.5 seconds.
