This is the new Infiniti Q60 Black S concept, set to make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Created to celebrate
the technical collaboration between Infiniti and Renault’s F1 Team, its powered by a combination of the twin-turbo 400 hp
3.0-litre V6 and Renault’s F1-Style KERS motor generator, pushing the final
output to a nice 500 hp.
The unique powertrain was developed by both Infiniti
and Renault engineers at the latter’s F1 engine headquarters in France. The
F1-style motor generator is responsible for gathering energy from braking and
exhaust gas heat, which is then stored in a lithium-ion battery pack. The energy is used to boost the petrol engine’s output and spin the
turbochargers faster.
The body on the other hand has been subjected to a
thorough redesign, featuring all new and super-aggressive front and rear
bumpers, side skirts, air vents on the bonnet and front wings, big titanium
tailpipes and of course that huge fixed rear wing. The wheels are also new and
measure 21 inches in diameter. Overall the new bodywork is said to produce
increased levels of real downforce, as you would expect from a project like
this.
There is still no official information about the
concept out there, with the same report saying that Infiniti still hasn’t
decided if the Q60 Black S will reach production or not.
