Nissan’s premium brand, Infiniti, moved to the market of luxury convertibles with the Q60.
It featured a complicated retractable hard-top that could fit into the trunk and leave its occupants in the open air. It was an evolution of the Q6 Coupe with nice finishes and touches.

The platform was adapted from the Nissan 370Z and was longer by 50 cm (19.6”), which should lead to decent legroom for the rear passengers. That said, the rear seats were only big enough to accommodate shorter passengers. The dashboard was plain and simple, with big dials on the instrument cluster for the tachometer and speedometer.

The infotainment system had a screen on top of the dashboard and was controlled via buttons placed underneath it. It wasn’t the most high-tech, but it worked well even though tt was still based on the Nissan Primera’s infotainment system. The sound system was developed by Bose and had a noise cancellation system.

The 7-speed automatic gearbox was fitted as an option while the 6-speed manual was offered as standard. An interesting feature for a car that was intended to be a relaxed cruiser was the rear limited-slip differential. Since the car weighed over 1900 kg (4188 lbs) with the automatic gearbox, the performance was not great. Also, the fuel consumption was high, with a declared average value of 12.4 l/100 km (18.5 mpg-US).
