You could see in our test some time ago that the Infiniti Q50 is a very capable competitor to the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4. Surprisingly, the sports version Eau Rouge will not bring more emotions to the entire model range, but the two-door coupe Q60 , which will be on the market already next year.
And the design will certainly not be far from the gray concept with 21-inch wheels exhibited in Detroit. Of course, it can be assumed that the LED lights will probably not be standard equipment, and the front bumper with sporty shaped air intakes will become a bit wilder for series production, but the basic lines inspired by the Q80 Inspiration concept will remain. And speaking of the Q50 Eau Rouge, the 4,690 mm long , 1,865 mm wide and 1,370 mm tall coupe shares exhaust tips and air intakes in the front fenders with it.
If the body can be said to be almost stock, this is doubly true for the interior with black and white leather upholstery and hand stitching. A certain sporty aura is reminiscent of carbon decors in the doors and anatomical seats in the front and back (2+2 layout). The center panel is dominated by the new Infiniti InTuition multimedia system, working with the Intelligent Keys system. Its trick is that it recognizes the driver of the car based on the key and adjusts the position of the seat, steering wheel and adjusts the air conditioning.
Under the hood is a three-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine with direct injection and double turbocharging , which, in conjunction with a pair of electric motors, already appeared in the Q80 limousine. It is the first member of the newly developed Infiniti engine family, which will begin appearing regularly in the models of the Japanese automaker within two years. In the Q60, for example, it cooperates with the Direct Adaptive Steering system, allowing control of the rotation of each wheel.
