The INFINITI Q60 is a testament to the evolution of sport coupes, standing as a symbol of performance and style in Columbus, Ohio. Produced from 2017 to 2022, this sleek 2-door coupe replaced the G37 Coupe, showcasing the new Q-series naming convention. As owners of the V37 generation of Q60s navigate lease returns or consider upgrades, the allure of this rear-wheel-drive beast continues to attract both casual and dedicated enthusiasts alike.
In a market increasingly rationalized away from sport coupes, each Q60's journey—whether it's an upgrade from an earlier model or a project car that has run its course—creates a donation pipeline ripe with potential. As the aging fleet ages further, the collector interest in the Red Sport 400 model consistently rises, making now a perfect time to consider donating your Q60 and leaving a legacy for future enthusiasts.
📖Generation guide
V37 Q60 • 2017-2022
The sole generation of the Q60, this model introduced a powerful 3.0t V6 twin-turbo engine in multiple trims, including the sought-after Red Sport 400.
Known issues by generation
While the V37 Q60 is celebrated for its performance, owners should be aware of several known issues. The VR30DDTT 3.0t V6 twin-turbo engine may experience timing-chain stretch, particularly in tracked Red Sport 400 variants with higher mileage. Additionally, the 7-speed Jatco transmission sometimes suffers from slow downshift response in Sport mode and harsh cold shifts. Notably, 2017-2018 models have been reported to face clear-coat issues, while the Direct Adaptive Steering system may present reliability challenges, which can be costly to address.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of an INFINITI Q60 largely hinges on its condition and trim level. The Red Sport 400 trim commands the highest residuals among enthusiasts, often exceeding $5k in Form 8283 Section B appraisals for low-mileage examples. Collectors particularly value manual transmissions, which may attract a premium. Additionally, all-wheel drive (AWD) variants are more sought after in snow states compared to rear-wheel drive (RWD) models. Modified examples may face differing appraisal standards based on aftermarket enhancements, further complicating valuation.
