The INFINITI Q60, a testament to Japanese engineering, brings sport-coupe allure to the islands of Hawaii. From 2017 to 2022, this rear-wheel-drive 2-door coupe captivated enthusiasts with its sleek design and powerful VR30DDTT twin-turbo V6 engine. As the successor to the G37 Coupe, the Q60 embodies a rich lineage of performance and luxury, making it a popular choice for those seeking a dynamic driving experience.

Donation process for this model
Donating your Q60 to Island Wheels involves specific steps tailored for sport coupes. Given the low ground clearance of these vehicles, a flatbed truck is typically required for transport. It’s important for donors to disclose if the car has been tracked and provide any documentation regarding aftermarket modifications. Service records related to gear oil and coolant can also enhance the donation process. Our team will guide you through every step to ensure a smooth transition.
Hawaii regional notes
In Hawaii, Q60 owners are part of a vibrant tuner community, with numerous events and track days available to enjoy their vehicles. However, owners must be aware of the salt-belt corrosion risks that can affect the aluminum and composite body panels. Many enthusiasts cherish their Q60s, often garage-storing these beauties and keeping them in pristine condition. This local context adds a layer of uniqueness to your donation.
