Infiniti has revealed its Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which made its world premiere at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, US.
The Q50 Eau Rouge, a high-performance design concept based on Infiniti’s Q50 premium sports sedan, draws inspiration for aerodynamic design from the technical collaboration between Infiniti and four-time Formula One World Champions Infiniti Red Bull Racing.
Major bodywork components have been redesigned with aerodynamics in mind and manufactured using carbon fibre. The new model is lower and wider – only the roof and door profiles remain unchanged from the production Q50. This design is inspired by muscularity and understated performance intent, its makers say.
Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge highlights include a detailed carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser and side sill skirts; carbon fibre roof and door mirror casings; 21-inch lightweight forged alloy wheels and a dual-exit exhaust sports system below a large integrated rear spoiler.
The Infiniti design team, led by executive design director Alfonso Albaisa, was influenced by their colleagues at Infiniti Red Bull Racing.
