Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept

yousefnjr · 03-04-2014, 11:15 AM

FINALLY. I imagine this would cost more than a gtr ($100k+)?

IEDEI · 03-04-2014, 12:07 PM

designed with 50 cents and cheap drinks...terrible.

JRV · 03-04-2014, 12:28 PM

Video at the bottom...sick sound. It doesn't look like a manual will be offered though

My respect for Nissan will go way up if they actually build this beast.

But they still need to put a proper transmission in the Maxima...

Someone? · 03-04-2014, 01:56 PM

They claim they will go into production with this Infinity ive always liked some of there cars, but this would take them to a whole new level.
568 HP Twin Turbo V6, Sub 4 seconds 0-60, and im loven the looks of the car.

i like it. i have seen the new body style and love it.

its all most to good to be true though. 570HP pony priced with a M4.

scutts · 03-04-2014, 02:06 PM

I liked the concept even though I'm not too fond of Q50's styling. Toned down GT-R with premium interior is always welcome, but I agree that it'd need M3 pricing to be competitive.

Not necessarily! Think of how the 2-door variants from AMG or ///M are always more $$$ than their 4 door stable mates.

If Infiniti could bring this car in @ $60-$70k which is what I bet they will, it will go head to head with: ///M3, RS4, AMG C Class.

But it will crush them all in stats! Size wise it is smaller than a E63 or ///M5

RezTTU · 03-04-2014, 02:21 PM

Looks maybe, almost a little too rice for me. But 570 hp? That's nuts. If it's ~80k, wow, hard to over look. Would be great competition.

TXSTYLE · 03-04-2014, 02:31 PM

Infiniti p l e a s e change the name to: Q50-R

///M Power-Belgium · 03-04-2014, 02:37 PM

The HP, engine design and the numbers i like, but the bodystyle looks to much Japanese like a Lexus !
And that because it's actualy Japanese !

chris s · 03-04-2014, 02:42 PM

Ummm yeah, has the motorsport history of an M3 as well. If you wanna go fast from a to b, there's plenty of options out there probably cheaper than the M3. I'm hardly seeing this as a viable alternative to any M3 enthusiast.

No way this car, with a GT-R engine (and assuming more luxury), would undercut the GT-R by 30-40k.

What is it? When I click like comes up as some yahoo account about job interviews?

JPH704 · 03-04-2014, 03:02 PM

"0-60 in under 4 seconds" translation... 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. That's far off from a GTR and probably very heavy. Sounds more like E92 DCT M3 competition

TXSTYLE · 03-04-2014, 03:06 PM

We shall see...

That is humorous, this car will be priced on M5 level.

I mean, they do have the GTR engineers on tap if you think about it. Sure it's not Motorsport, but unfortunately the GTR is a fierce competitor to all sport car companies. I would not be amazed if this concept does turn out to be a fierce competitor as did the GTR

And I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic about the "motorsport history", what about F1 racing where they have dominated for a couple of years in a row.

Simply saying i don't see where a true M3 enthusiast would get excited about a car like that. Not in the slightest.

There's being an enthusiast and then there's blind badge loyalty.

Call it whatever you want. I've owned 6 M3's for a reason...not blind badge loyalty. I won't be replacing my M3 with an infinity anytime soon. When and if BMW stops making a product i like and enjoy, then perhaps...

I bought a 911TT in the middle there somewhere and sold it after 8 months, so blind loyalty nothing...

M3-S65 · 03-04-2014, 04:10 PM

Concept cars....
1. Never happen. If they do, they look ugly compared to the concept. I will believe it when I see it.
2. However, if it does look like that, I am sure it will be way overpriced.
