Infiniti has presented the first image of the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which will premiere at the 2014 North American International Auto Show on January 13th, in Detroit.
The Q50 Eau Rouge is a high-performance design concept based upon the Infiniti Q50 sedan and is crafted from the technical collaboration between Infiniti and Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One team.
The Q50 Eau Rouge is lower and wider, with only the roof and door profiles to remain unchanged from the stock Q50.
Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge highlights include deep and detailed carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser and side sill skirts. Carbon fibre is also present for the roof and door mirror casings along with large, 21-inch lightweight forged alloy wheels, and a dual-exit exhaust sports system below a large integrated rear spoiler at the rear.
"From our shared passion for performance with Infiniti Red Bull Racing grew a collective desire to produce a vision of what a high-performance Infiniti Q50 could look like. 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," explained Executive Design Director Alfonso Albaisa.
Infiniti is also empowering social fans to unveil the all new Q50 Eau Rouge concept car ahead of the official launch on January 13th. Online advocates can drive the reveal of Infiniti's latest concept car by sharing their views and comments through social media channels like Twitter (#F1Q50), Facebook and Weibo.
By doing so, fans will build the image of the concept in a virtual garage. Each 'share' will help build individual Q50 components and as more fans share, the quicker the car will be 'built'.
