Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge prototype begins testing [video]

Will be put through an extensive development program

Infiniti has released a new video that shows the Q50 Eau Rouge prototype being driven by Sebastian Vettel at the Millbrook Proving Ground.

Created as part of a feasibility study, the prototype will be put through an extensive development program that will test its performance, handling and viability.

Additional information will be released at Auto China but the prototype is essentially a working version of the Q50 Eau Rouge concept which was unveiled earlier this year. This means we can expect the prototype to be powered by a Nissan GT-R sourced twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine. While Infiniti was coy on details they did confirm the prototype has 560 bhp (417 kW) which is slightly less than the concept.
