The awd, twin turbo, V8 infiniti should've built and shoehorned into the Q70

Didn't they make an AWD V8 version (non-turbo though), basically a carryover from the M56?

Sure did! I wanted one but couldn’t find a Q70L 5.6 AWD. The L had a longer wheel base than the standard Q70, and reportedly had a better ride and less chassis issues because of it.

Got curious and ran a quick search on auto tempest. This one is a good price and low mileage, but like 1,600 miles from me. Shouldn’t be more than a couple hours for our Tin Man though if he wanted the roar of a V8 lol.

Not overly familiar with the Q70, although do remember seeing and/or reading about the L version; being longer and all. They also had a Sport version of the 5.6 didn't they? Was that only on the regular length chassis or could you get it (S) with the L?

That is pretty long, ya. Lots of rear legroom! Looks good though and nice wheels. Do like the Q70 styling overall, other than a couple views...want to say one being 3/4 front and the way the fenders arch/bulge or something. Otherwise, it's a nice looking car.

That I don’t know. But ultimately, it think the market was older people who didn’t want the maintenance of a BMW 5 series or the stigma of a Cadillac.

I like them too. Kind of a big brother to the Q50. But I like the raucous little brother better. Less refined Maybe, but Way more fun!

does it have DAS?

I've always loved the wheels on those Q70's

Another good question that I can’t answer lol. But I don’t think so. Wasn’t DAS Q50/Q60 specific at first?

Hmm. About 400 miles from me. Might take more than a couple hours.

Nope...EPS.

And so it begins

Shot a cold start and revs video. I'll post it later. 😊

Not entirely sure why ams would include a not-long-enough-to-actually-be-useful-for-anything-non-fuel-rated hose with this intake manifold whose sole purpose is to allow me to run additional fuel injectors. 🤔

But free hose is free hose I guess. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Here's the fx50 exhaust video.

What guy doesn’t love free hose? Lmao

the QX sounds fantastic!!!

I dunno, but I wish our RS exhaust sounded as good as that FX50...
