Twinturbo 3.8litre V6 petrol engine, 7speed gearbox, allwheel drive Power output of 568hp and 600Nm of torque Q50 to receive 2.0litre turbo charged petrol engine in Europe Geneva / Hong Kong – Infiniti has boosted excitement in the highperformance premium sports saloon segment at the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show by revealing a powerful engine for the Q50 Eau Rouge concept. The beating heart of the Eau Rouge, a twinturbocharged, 3.8litre V6 petrol engine, was revealed on the Infiniti show stand today. The Q50 Eau Rouge – a highperformance concept car based on the premium manufacturer’s awardwinning Q50 sports saloon – was first revealed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January as a Formula One inspired, carbon fibre aeroenhanced concept. Q50 Eau Rouge now tells a compelling power story with a full 568hp and 600Nm of torque on demand. "Building on the extremely positive feedback on the Q50 Eau Rouge at its recent Detroit Auto Show launch, we decided to further whet the appetite of performance sports saloon fans by engineering this powerful heart into our bloodred beast,” said Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti Motor Company Limited. “A car with such pronounced styling treatments demands the very best in terms of highperformance powertrains, which is why we installed this V6 twinturbocharged, 7speed combination as an example of what a potential powertrain for the Q50 Eau Rouge may look and sound like.” The 3799cc, V6, 24valve, twinturbocharged petrol engine partners a fulltime, allwheel drive system with 50/50 fronttorear torque split. Predicted acceleration of 060mph in less than four seconds and a top speed close to 180mph would put the Q50 Eau Rouge firmly into the premier league of supersports saloons. The most powerful and exhilarating petrolpowered Infiniti model has not been confirmed for production, but the unveiling of the latest iteration of the Q50 Eau Rouge in Geneva underlines the company’s determination to create engaging performance cars for a premium segment.
