Infiniti Has Built A Bot To Compare Its Hottest Q60 To Other Cars And You Can Talk To It
Want to know how fast your Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 is versus 400 other cars as tested in the real world by a motor magazine? Well, no, because you probably don’t actually own a Q60, but Infiniti in the US has come up with a cool artificial intelligence bot to let you compare the Red Sport 400 version of the car anyway.
Infiniti has gained access to 400 cars from Motor Trend’s database, and the bot, which you have to chat with via Facebook Messenger, can access and compare times from those cars along with a snappy one-line explanation. Simply type in a car make and model and it will either respond with a result or give you the nearest alternatives.
Among the responses we got were “Buick’s big SUV takes over 7s to get up to 60MPH. Q60 most definitely does not,” and “not enough pick-up to keep up with Q60” for the Honda Ridgeline AWD.
It doesn’t always work, though, as with this one comparing the 400bhp Q60 to an M3. Despite the Q60 being two tenths slower to 60mph, the bot states that the Infiniti wins.
Have a play with it and see whether there the bot can deliver any funny responses. Is it as entertaining as Siri? I guess we’ll find out…

any other way except fakebook? Don’t have it, don’t care about it
You got a reason to care about it now
infiniti says muscle cars cant turn
Was looking at the q60 last week. Very tempting.
I’d wait to see if the Q60 Black S will be sold
Q60 Red Sport is beautiful in person
Not so intelligent after all:
The answer is on the screen
You didn’t add a space between 570 and the S
I love FAST and GREAT HANDLING cars….but….99% of the drivers have no concept of even driving safely on the 401 in Ontario never mind on the track clipping apexes…..ditto for not having a clue of how following within even 8 car lengths at 100 km/hr gives them ZERO chance of not hitting the car in front if it stops suddenly. So then, why even makes these high power vehicles avail for sale unless the Province enacts ‘skilled driver qualifications’? I’m scared shiftless on the 401 in the GTA with the moron idiots who think they are Mario Andretti in a and old rusted out crapbox Hyundai Pony……and yes, as an olde geezer with grey hair I do drive a brand new performance Lexus F series and have had the good fortune to take and complete MULTIPLE high performance driving courses over the past 50 years. Love cars….hate 99% of the drivers! PTW, even the Q50 or Q60 base units with 3.7 engines are PLENTY FAST ENOUGH….great interiors too…almost bought one last year but opted for a different weekend toy.
Damn n Blast…
Can’t hear the bot’s bullsh!t if you don’t have Facebook. Enough said.
I love Nissans, but what Nissan is doing now is absolute garbage.
