Tip of the Week

With the Q50 Red Sport 3.0t 400, Infiniti offers what it modestly calls “an engaging driving experience.” Let’s start with the name: 400 is the horsepower output; “3.0t” means the engine has three liters of capacity (in six cylinders, arranged in a “V”-shape) and it’s turbocharged; and “Red Sport” makes me think the marketing department went home on Friday having failed to come up with a better way to indicate that this is the most high-tech and power-soaked sedan Infiniti has ever offered. That or someone’s a fan of Conan the Barbarian’s crazed girlfriend. Clumsy nomenclature notwithstanding, Infiniti’s Red Sonja is a firecracker.
