According to Nissan/Infiniti the new Q60 is lower, wider and has a lower center of gravity vs the outgoing model. Not sure if this makes up for a heavier front end, but we'll see.

I'm intrigued by the possibility of "steer-by-wire" and how well that can be dialed in (certainly saves on weight), but the dynamic adjustable dampers on the red sport will hopefully find their way to at least a Nismo Z35. If so, I think we'll be happy

Body roll is well suppressed in both settings, and the brakes are excellent in terms of power and feel. Staggered-width Dunlop summer run-flats come standard on rear-wheel-drive Red Sport 400s and measure 245/40R-19 in front and 265/35R-19 at the rear

Haven't seen any Q60 skidpad numbers but I'm sure they'll be even better on the Z.
