The INFINITI Q50 Eau Rouge Revealed Before Detroit Auto Show

INFINITI has just released a new image and some more info on what we can only hope is a glimpse at the upcoming INFINITI Q50 Eau Rouge. The Q50 Eau Rouge is a high-performance design concept based on INFINITI’s Q50 premium sports sedan and draws inspiration for aerodynamic design from the collaboration between INFINITI and four-time Formula One World Champions, INFINITI Red Bull Racing.

The body has been redesigned with aerodynamics- it’s  lower and wider.  This striking design is inspired by muscularity, refinement, and understated performance.

The INFINITI design team, led by Executive Design Director Alfonso Albaisa, was influenced by the aerodynamic styling approach taken by their colleagues at INFINITI Red Bull Racing.

“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,” said Albaisa.

“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,” added Albaisa.

INFINITI is also empowering social media fans to unveil the all-new Q50 Eau Rouge concept car ahead of the official launch at the Detroit Motor Show on January 13. Starting from today, online advocates can drive the reveal of INFINITI’s latest concept car. By sharing their views and comments through social media channels like Twitter hashtag #F1Q50, Facebook 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.” Progress can be viewed on unveil.infiniti.com.
