Infiniti's Q60 coupe gets a spot in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book

Is it that time of year already? The annual Neiman Marcus Christmas Book always includes at least one car among the many expensive items in its pages. Over the years, everything from a Chevrolet Camaro to an Aston Martin Vanquish has appeared in the catalog.

This year, it’s the Infiniti Q60 coupe’s turn. The latest model from Nissan’s luxury brand will be available to order as a very extravagant Christmas gift beginning November 2. Only 50 Q60 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition models will be offered for sale, priced at $63,000 each.

The Neiman Marcus Edition is based on the Q60 Red Sport 400 model, meaning it gets the most powerful version of Infiniti’s new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6. The engine produces 400 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and is coupled to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Infiniti offers both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive on the Red Sport 400, but didn’t specify whether buyers of the Neiman Marcus edition get the same choice.

The Q60 is a coupe counterpart to the Infiniti Q50 sedan, and replaces a previous-generation model that was originally sold as the Infiniti G37. It’s essentially the Nissan luxury brand’s rival to the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Like the Q50, it features Infiniti’s unusual Direct Adaptive Steering, a steer-by-wire system with no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the road.

The special edition’s $63,000 price is a big leap over the $51,300 base price of a 2017 Q60 Red Sport 400. Befitting its inflated price, the Neiman Marcus car is painted in a gold hue called Solar Mica, with a Gallery White leather interior and Silver Optic Fiber interior trim. Accessories include a leather weekender bag, a plaque with the car’s VIN number, indoor car cover, and a letter of authenticity. Infiniti will also donate $1,000 to the Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation with each purchase.

If you’re the kind of person who gives out new cars as holiday gifts, look for the Infiniti Q60 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition on page 128 of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.

I tried an e-bike for the first time and now I’m hooked
It’s not about being a 'bike person', it’s about finding small upgrades to everyday life

Before this year, I’d never even touched an e-bike before, and the thought of riding one was never on my radar. With life already in constant motion thanks to two toddlers, biking wasn’t something I ever considered adding to the mix.

I’d always assumed e-bikes were for hardcore commuters or serious cyclists, not someone like me. I wasn’t looking for a big lifestyle change. I just wanted a quicker way to get to the park so we’d have more time to play before dinner.

This week in EV tech: Audi exemplifies auto industry’s EV holding pattern
Close-up of 2025 Audi SQ5 grille, headlight, and badge.

The road to the future runs through the present, and it’s not a straight line. This week, we’re focusing on how Audi is negotiating the twists and turns on the way to an electrified future. EVs are here to stay at Audi, but a gasoline crossover SUV is still the automaker’s bestselling model, and it’s not ready to risk those sales just yet. That’s why the 2025 Audi Q5 received a top-to-bottom overhaul for this model year, bringing its tech features and styling up to date without altering the what has proven to be a very popular package. By maintaining parallel lineups of electric and internal-combustion cars, Audi hopes to give customers more choices. But that doesn’t completely level the playing field. The new Q5 may have yesterday’s powertrain, but Audi isn’t holding back on tech. It features the same electrical architecture, operating system, and three-screen dashboard display as the latest Audi EVs, like the Q6 e-tron. So aside from a little engine noise, there’s little difference in what you can see and interact with from the driver’s seat. It’s not just the infotainment systems. The Q5 and Q6 e-tron are close in size, with similar space for passengers across their two rows of seats. The Q6 e-tron has a bit more cargo space, but not as much as you’d think given the lack of a bulky engine, transmission, and driveshafts. The two SUVs also have similar styling but, having now driven both, we can say that the Q5 is the more pleasant of the two.

More than a difference of powertrain tech
