Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept has been revealed at the ongoing Detroit Moto Show and the model as said before, remained one of a kind leaving automotive novices a lot of stuff to study. Infiniti has perfectly sculpted the model and it is a game changer with perfect balance of design, performance and comfort. There is no doubt that Eau Rouge can over take the 425hp powered BMW M3 with its >500 hp engine.

The production ready version of the Q50 Eau Rouge is likely to get fitted with a power house that can deliver more than 500 hp at the peak which is more than any other rival model in the segment. Mr. Johan de Nysschen, the head of Infiniti has stated in connection with the launch of Q50 Eau Rouge Concept “If we built this car I would expect it to feature over 500 hp and 600 lb – ft of torque. Through our various alliance partners we have access to a range of engines featuring this performance capability which, with a fair amount of engineering effort, can be developed to exhibit Infiniti character and accommodated within the Q50 engine bay.

Commenting about the exclusive design, Mr. Alfonso Albaisa – the Executive Design Director for Infiniti has stated “The design has a number of distinctive Formula One Inspired touches. In particular, the sculpted front wing assembly and the rear aerodynamic packaging take their cues from the RB9 race car. The rear fog light packaging is unmistakably Formula One. The Q50 Eau Rouge is a combination of the seductive lines of Q50 but with a fiercer design urge in keeping with a high performance vehicle. The Q50 Eau Rouge is Infiniti to the power of four; like a bull with its shoulder muscles fixed, a bull in Infiniti clothing”.
