Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Fully Revealed

Infiniti released more pictures and details about the beautiful Q50 Eau Rouge concept at the Detroit Auto Show. The four door saloon features a bespoke aerodynamic carbon fiber bodywork that includes a new front splitter, a carbon fiber roof, new side skirts, a rear diffuser and a large integrated rear spoiler. Also part of the package are the huge 21-inch lightweight wheels.

Infiniti also revealed more details on the power plant without being specific. The production version of the Eau Rouge will in fact produce more than 500 Hp and 600 lb/ft of torque according to Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti Motor Company Limited. He also commented: "The engine we are evaluating for the Q50 Eau Rouge is a big personality, V-cylinder engine with forced induction. I think our engineers have been waiting for a project like this..." Does that mean that this is the four door GT-R we've been waiting for? BMW should keep an eye on this car since this might be a new competitor for their M5.
