F1 inspired Infiniti right on Q
December 11, 2013
AN F1-inspired concept car based on the Infiniti Q50 premium sports saloon will be unveiled at next month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The Q50 Eau Rouge concept is named after the world-famous corner at the Grand Prix track in Spa-Francorchamps, which has seen some of the most memorable driving feats in F1 history.
It represents Infiniti’s design vision of a high performance variant of the Q50, and blends road car with motorsport technology.
It means it features aerodynamic styling treatments and design elements influenced by Infiniti’s partnership with Formula One world championship-winning team Infiniti Red Bull Racing.
Infiniti’s design chief Alfonso Albaisa said: “Performance is a key pillar of Infiniti’s DNA and this car expresses a deepened design interpretation of that.
“The Q50, with an abundance of technologies, provides a great basis for an extreme performance version, embodied in the design of Q50 Eau Rouge.”
