LONDON – One lucky customer in the UK got a lot more than he bargained for when he booked a test drive in a new INFINITI Q50, ahead of the premium brand announcing its new 48 hour test drive offer in Europe.

Anton, from South London, registered for an INFINITI test drive three days prior to the booking and was left speechless when INFINITI Red Bull Racing F1™ driver Daniel Ricciardo handed him the keys and joined him out on the road.

In order to promote the chance to really get to know the INFINITI range, INFINITI is offering prospective customers in the UK an extended test drive of up to two days, allowing the opportunity for a comprehensive sample of the INFINITI ownership experience. And for Anton, the shock element was the experience of a lifetime.

"Surprising Anton with the Q50 was good fun," said Ricciardo. "I had no idea how he was going to react. To be honest I was a bit worried he might hug me! But he seemed to enjoy it, which was cool, and he really liked the car when we took it out for a spin afterwards, so it was a good day all round."

Not everyone will get to meet an F1™ driver, but INFINITI in the UK believes that most customers will be pleasantly surprised by what the latest line-up has to offer, as it expands its range and network. The brand has already opened two retail outlets in London's two Westfield Shopping Centers and an all-new center in Maidstone, Kent in 2015. INFINITI will also be launching an all-new Q30 active compact model later this year.

In order to show off the latest model range, INFINITI in the UK has also launched a new customer website. Visitors to INFINITI.co.ukOpens in a new tab. will be able to find details of their nearest INFINITI Center, through which they can book a 48-hour test drive as well as take a closer look at INFINITI's latest model range. The new site is responsive to both mobile and tablet viewers, has detailed car pages, with complete specifications, and includes pricing for all variants, a brand news section and details of all the latest retail offers. A new INFINITI car configurator will be added to the site next month.
