REFINED MUSCULARITY
The Q50 Eau Rouge was born out of the very pinnacle of motorsport competition, mirroring components from the successful RB10 racecar. Almost every exterior panel is bespoke; with only the front doors and the roof pillar arches retained as standard components from the stock Q50.
Q50 Eau Rouge visibly hunkers down with menace and intent. New front and rear fenders extend the current Q50’s broad-shouldered stance by 20mm, while a larger deck lid spoiler creates air-pressure downforce. And all of this dynamic width is wrapped in a tailored coat of customized red paint, emphasizing its appellation.
Framing the paintwork across the Q50 Eau Rouge’s athletic physique is dark-chrome detailing that replaces the classic bright chrome work of the production Q50, darkening the concept’s demeanor dramatically. This finish continues on the front grille, glasshouse surrounds, door handles, and deck lid accents.

PREMIUM SPORTING LUXURY
The interior of the Q50 Eau Rouge concept car was designed to offer command and comfort. Precision control is afforded by a high-grip sports steering wheel and Formula One-style paddle-shifters.
Further underlying the sporty character, red-infused carbon fiber detailing on the doors and center console complement the exterior style, and dark-chrome again replaces silver-chrome throughout the red cockpit.
The breadth and depth of capability is self-evident; Q50 Eau Rouge provides not only a glimpse of Infiniti’s design language at its best, but also the performance capability of a future special series.
