Think about it... why else delay it? The Q60 is already going to go on sale in two other trims, and the powertrain from the Red Sport is already on the lots in the Q50.

The delay has to do with the announcement of the 2018 Z. I'm going with my gut on this!
Or maybe you're reading too much into it not are forgetting that Nissan always has a 5 or 6 month delay for the highest performance model. The 2009 Z debuted for sale late February that year.The Nismo debuted mid-August that year. Red sport is the old IPL.
