My limited edition came with the IPL exhaust system but I can't determine if the IPL ECU is also installed. Dealership service department is clueless.

????

The IPL trim is technically discontinued for 2015. You do have the exhaust, but you do not have the more aggressive tune, as they simply left the "Sport" tune in place with your car. Short answer is no - you do not have the IPL ECU tune.

Congrats on the new ride! They're really pretty in pearl white in the limited trim with the black accents. I was drooling over one at cars and coffee a couple months ago.

^^ covered it quite well.

Get a uprev tuner and intakes and you will be good to go.

Are you stating that the Q60 IPL for 2015 does not have the 343 hp tune as indicated in all my documentation and all over the Infiniti website? If so, what is your source?

Are you stating that you own an IPL and not a Q60S Limited Edition, as with the case of the OP?

To clarify for those who are questioning the answer to a question they didn't ask, the IPL coupe, which is not a convertible, was indeed discontinued for 2015. However, the IPL Convertible with 343 hp (as opposed to the 348 offered in the discontinued coupe model), is still available for those with more money than sense at a cool starting price of $62,100.

Now, if we have no further insecurities concerning relevance to address, we can get back to your regularly scheduled posting.

You're actually an Administrator on this board? You respond like this when I had a question regarding the respobse? Yes I have an 2015 IPL very. However, it made sense to buy it since I got it $5k less than the sticker of a Q60s and it had all if 23 miles on the odometer. So, apologies for my error in missing the question was regarding a Q60s. However, as an Administrator, I suggest you chill the #! $@ out. And if this gets me kicked off the board, all the better.

Rice is the least of your worries. Meet your real worry. I have no time for you and your dramatic BS. Goodbye.

No, you had a smart-a$$ (and erroneous) response, and were looking to pounce on someone [you thought] was wrong.

That's better. Late, but better.

Ah, the 'n00b martyr complex.' Yeah, we've never seen that (in six million + posts).

Don't flatter yourself, Sunshine. Just read more carefully.

And, welcome aboard.

Thank you! Getting a 2015 IPL Convertible borders on being mentally deficient to the point of requiring social welfare assistance. You pay $14,000 more for a car with only 18 extra horsepower ($777.78 per extra hp). Not only that, the curbweight of the three Q60 models is:

Q60 Coupe (AWD): 3,834 pounds (the most heavy of the coupes, the Q60 Coupe Journey is 3,633 pounds)
Q60 Convertible: 4,083 pounds
Q60 Convertible IPL: 4,189 pounds

Eighteen additional horsepower for an added weight of 106 pounds is ridiculous. Utterly, mind-bogglingly, and ridiculously insufficient. One additional horsepower per additional 5.89 pounds in the Q60 IPL Convertible absolutely will not make a sufficient difference in acceleration or general performance. The brake upgrade from 13 inch to 14 inch rotors is nice, but 14 inch brakes should be standard anyway because you get 14 inch brakes in the Nissan 370Z.

If it were BMW and the M-series, you'd pay $62,000 for a 2015 M3 sedan with 425 hp and only $43,750 for the 2015 335i (the closest analog non-M car to the M3) which has 300 hp. The price per horsepower increase from the base model and the performance model (which share the same engine, a key factor here) BMW is just $146.00 at an $18,250 increase between the non-M and the M version. A much better value, performance-wise, for a car which weighs 3,595 pounds. To put that into perspective, this BMW performance sedan weighs less than the base Infiniti coupe.

From a business standpoint, Infiniti is only making money from this so it's great for them. Not so great for us. Besides, we know the current president of Infiniti, Roland Krüger, will not actually release the Q60 Eau Rouge.
