Infiniti confirms Goodwood debut for Q50 Eau Rouge

Infiniti mulls Q50 Eau Rouge production as Vettel joins testing Infiniti has confirmed its 500bhp-plus Q50 Eau Rouge will make its moving debut in the Goodwood Festival of Speed in a few days. The car will certainly be driven by Christian Horner and Sebastian Buemi coming from the Red Bull Racing team. This latest outing to the Q50 comes as Infiniti continues its feasibility study to the car, to ensure any production version could challenge the very best fast saloons Europe needs to offer. Staff at Nissan’s Cranfield technical centre happen to be given the job of the hard work, which includes fitting the Nissan GT-R’s twin-turbo 3. 8-litre V6 straight into the rear-drive saloon. Inside the Eau Rouge that engine produces 552bhp, enough to provide the car a 0-62mph sprint time of lower than four seconds, and also a top speed of 180mph. Cranfield’s engineers are considered to possess the skills necessary to produce a car that will require a robust dose of European-flavoured dynamics if this will be successful. Four-time Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel has also been testing the car around Millbrook's test track in her role as Infiniti's director of performance. If feasible, it’s prone to take a minimum of another 12 months until the car makes production. The Eau Rouge concept was last seen in the Geneva motor show early last month, with Infiniti boss Johan de Nysschen saying the car was now suggestion:inch,inches,in[click to edit]')" onmouseout="UnTip()">" an official project suggestion:inch,inches,in[click to edit]')" onmouseout="UnTip()">". In Europe, the Q50 Eau Rouge would face competition coming from the likes from the Jaguar XFR, that has 503bhp offered by its supercharged V8 engine, along with the 457bhp Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and 444bhp Audi RS4 Avant.
