  • Sight and sound of the Q50 Eau Rouge prototype set for Goodwood Hill
  • The 3.8-liter, V6 twin-turbo 568-hp Q50 Eau Rouge to be piloted by key members of INFINITI Red Bull Racing

HONG KONG – The powerful INFINITI Q50 Eau Rouge prototype will enjoy its first dynamic public appearance this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking place from June 27 to 29 in West Sussex, England.

The Q50 Eau Rouge Prototype is set to entertain the crowds attending this year's festival as it roars past with its powerful twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 gasoline engine running at full throttle in the hands of Christian Horner, INFINITI Red Bull Racing Team Principal and Sebastian Buemi, INFINITI Red Bull Racing's Test and Reserve Driver.

Sebastian Buemi will also be available on the INFINITI hospitality stand for a question and answer session regarding the Formula One season so far and what we can expect going forward.

The Q50 Eau Rouge started life as a static design concept revealed at the Detroit motor show earlier in the year but has since been shown at the Geneva motor show with its thoroughbred V6 engine installed. In April, during the Beijing motor show, INFINITI announced it has reached a further step forward towards a production version with a full working prototype now undergoing tests and evaluation.


It is this full working prototype that will power up the hill at Goodwood. The INFINITI Q50 Eau Rouge prototype will be displayed in between its performance runs at the "First Glance" area close to the start line where guests can get up close and personal with the INFINITI concept.

The most powerful INFINITI ever has not been confirmed for production, but INFINITI will continue to listen to feedback from potential customers.
