Infiniti has revealed that the Q50 Eau Rouge has borrowed the Nissan GT-R’s 3.8L V6 engine, which generates 560-hp and 442 lb-ft. of torque in the Infiniti concept.
Infiniti originally unveiled the Q50 Eau Rouge concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, but failed to tell us what powered the concept. Now Infiniti has revealed that the Q50 Eau Rouge has borrowed the Nissan GT-R’s 3.8L V6 engine, which generates 560-hp and 442 lb-ft. of torque in the Infiniti concept.
“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 sedan fans by engineering this powerful heart into our blood-red beast,” said Johan de Nysschen, president of Infiniti Motor Company Limited.
Infiniti estimates that the Q50 Eau Rouge will reach 0-60 mph in less than four seconds and a top speed near 180 mph. Infiniti has not announced any production plans, but it has been confirmed that the automaker is working on two new high-performance models.
