Infiniti push on with Q50 Eau Rouge project with Sebastian Vettel (video)

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge – a performance version of Infiniti’s Q50 with 552 bhp – is moving forward with testing by Sebastian Vettel.

The Infini Q50 Eau Rouge Concept made an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show in January as a possible Performance halo from Infiniti and featuring an appealing 552 bhp. And it looks like it could be heading for production.

With Infiniti keen to cash-in on its sponsorship of Red Bull – and the appointment of Sebastian Vettel as Performance Director – the Q50 Eau Rouge could be a good way to create a halo performance model for Infiniti.

With that fulsome 552bhp, 21″ alloys, sports exhaust and carbon fibre roof – and a big spoiler – the Q50 Eau Rouge looks the part, and now Infiniti are planning on delivering more information on the Q50 with a new video featuring Sebastian Vettel putting the car through its paces at Millbrook, to be premiered at the Beijing Motor Show this month.

To tease that, Infiniti have released a short teaser video of Seb at Millbrook in the Q50 (below), with the promise of more information at Beijing.

All of which points to the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge turning in to a production model before too long.
