Infiniti has released details and video of the company's new 560 hp Q50 Eau Rouge high-performance vehicle ahead of the Beijing Auto Show. Announced at the NAIAS (Detroit) Auto Show in January, the Eau Rouge promised at the time to be a competitor to the Audi, BMW M, and Mercedes AMG gentleman's performance car offerings.
Now the news that the car will use the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 from the Nissan GT-R, plus video of F1 Champ Sebastian Vettel testing the prototype leave little doubt as to its nature. The Eau Rouge is a brute.

The GT-R engine delivers 560 hp and 443 pound-feet of torque - sufficient to put it right in the middle of the German high performance sedan brigade.
Infiniti has announced that video of the new luxury sports sedan being put through its paces will be shown on press day at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show (April 20, 2014) and that prototype testing and evaluation is ongoing.
Four time Formula One world champion and Infiniti's Director of Performance, Sebastian Vettel, can be seen testing the Eau Rouge at the Millbrook (U.K.) Proving Ground in the video at the foot of this article and the luxury sports sedan clearly demonstrates elite-level performance and handling.

Supercars hardly even get driven and there are VERY few of them.
How is that V-6,fwd minivans can get the same average fuel mileage as some V-8,4wd SUV's that weigh around twice as much?
Point 1. Motor vehicles were originally created to allow high speed personal transport, not to crawl along at little above walking pace. I like driving cars and riding motorcycles with plenty of power, and I'm lucky enough to live in a first world country where the roads allow me to drive/ ride at well over 10-12 MPH. I DO NOT want the backward step of a six or seven HP "car like vehicle". Ever. Really.
Point 2. The efficiency of vehicles that burn refined dinosaur juice has been improving for decades, and many countries already have laws that restrict the fuel consumption of cars. It is probably a moot point anyway as 20 years from now, most of the worlds vehicle fleet will use some form of electric propulsion. And I'll be happy to drive one, so long as it's got some get up and go!
