Drivers who lease or buy a new INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 or RED SPORT 400 AWD will have a luxury sports sedan that produces 400 horsepower. The RED SPORT 400 is the top-of-the-line model in the Q50 trim lineup and the only trim model to deliver 400 horsepower to the wheels. The other vehicles in the lineup (PURE, LUXE, SENSORY, and SIGNATURE EDITION) still produce an impressive 300 horsepower that delivers potent acceleration. The difference between the Q50 RED SPORT 400 and the other trim models is that the 3.0-liter V-6 twin-turbocharged engine that powers the entire lineup adds two turbo speed sensors and dual water pumps to the RED SPORT 400 models. These speed sensors help with turbo efficiency, and the dual water pumps help reduce engine heat for improved cooling. If you want a Q50 with 100 more horsepower, be sure to ask our sales team about the RED SPORT 400.

So often, we talk about how fast a car races from 0 to 60, but when it comes to safety, getting us from 60 to 0 in as short a distance as possible is just as important, if not more. In the case of the new INFINITI Q50, the trim lineup can come to a complete stop (70 to 0 mph) at 169 feet. If automotive safety is on your mind, our sales team can tour you through all of the passive and active driver-assist systems that come standard on the new INFINITI Q50. This new luxury sedan is fully equipped with a suite of advanced systems, cameras, and radar-sensing technologies designed to help alert you to a potential hazard and help you see drivers and motorists you might otherwise miss.

The 2022 INFINITI Q50 horsepower will vary with your chosen trim; either choice provides incredible thrills, though. INFINITI Q50 LUXE and SENSORY models pack a 300 horsepower punch with their 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, while the 2022 INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 develops, as the name suggests, 400 horsepower with its enhanced 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. The 2022 INFINITI Q50 0 to 60 time comes in at five seconds for LUXE and SENSORY models and 4.5 seconds for RED SPORT 400 models.

The impressive 2022 INFINITI Q50 specs are made possible by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine in every model. It uses advanced techniques like a mirror bore coating process to keep its weight low and power high. Specifically, that power will come in at 300 horsepower for LUXE and SENSORY models or 400 horsepower with RED SPORT 400 models.

INFINITI Q50 3.0L Horsepower Numbers

The 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine is an advanced V-6 with two available power outputs. Depending on the trim you choose, you'll either have 300 or 400 horsepower to get you to work on time. This lightweight engine has a more compact cylinder block than its predecessors and can deliver efficiency, performance, and potent power. The 300 horsepower engine uses a single water pump to cool the block, and the 400 horsepower engine uses two water pumps to disperse heat from the engine.

The 2022 trim lineup includes the Q50 LUXE and SENSORY. Each of these models produces 300 horsepower. When you want 400 horsepower roaring through the exhaust, you want the 2022 INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 or 400 AWD. The 400 horsepower engine includes two turbo speed sensors and dual water pumps to create a luxury sports sedan with legendary performance.

INFINITI Q50 3.0L 0 to 60 Times

If you like brisk and immediate acceleration, then you care about how fast your new luxury sedan can go from sitting still to cruising at highway speeds. In the case of the 2022 INFINITI Q50 0 to 60 times, the majority of the model lineup will hit 60 mph from idle in five seconds. If you need a little something extra, we suggest the Q50 RED SPORT or RED SPORT 400 AWD that will go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

Part of engineering an engine with 400 horsepower that can send your car from 0 to 60 in under five seconds is the integrated exhaust manifold that places the catalytic converter closer to the exhaust point, which creates a shorter flow of hot exhaust gases. An engine requires fuel, air, spark, and timing to breathe in, but it also needs a way to exhale. And the exhale needs to be just as efficient as the inhale—otherwise, your car's engine stalls. This design feat expels exhaust to ensure you get every drop of power out of the engine. If you have any questions about the design of the 3.0-liter V-6 twin-turbo engine or how the mirror bore coating process reduces the overall weight of the engine by 3.8 pounds, get in touch with our sales team. Our associates would be happy to answer any questions you have.

INFINITI Q50 vs. the Competition

When researching new sports sedans with 400 horsepower and sub-five-second 0 to 60 times, you won't find many that can keep up with the new INFINITI Q50. When you compare the INFINITI Q50 to the Audi A4, the base Audi only produces 201 horsepower compared to the 300 in the INFINITI Q50. The BMW 330i and Mercedes C300 beat the Audi but still fall short of the INFINITI Q50 with only 255. The lack of horsepower in the other vehicles in the segment is also apparent when you compare their acceleration to the INFINITI Q50 0 to 60 time. This time, the Audi A4 in its sportiest trim model will hit 5.2 seconds. This number is the closest to the five seconds flat put up by the INFINITI Q50, but still not enough to beat it.
