HONG KONG – Featuring Formula One-inspired technology, #projectblacks is an exploration of a new #infiniti high-performance model line. Developed in collaboration with the RenaultSport Formula One Team, #projectblacks will be revealed for the first time globally at a special media #event on the eve of the Geneva International Motor Show.
A radical reinterpretation of the Q60 coupe, #projectblacks features a stand-out, aerodynamic design, and hints at how a unique-for-the-road performance hybrid powertrain could significantly enhance the dynamics of an #infiniti production car.
"INFINITI is the premium car manufacturer within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, and a technical partner to the Renault Sport Formula One Team, so it is natural that we come together to explore the possibility of bringing innovative high-performance hybrid technology to our customers. #infiniti has constantly led the way in making innovative new powertrain technology available, and we're extremely excited by the potential of #projectblacks."
Roland Krueger, President of INFINITI
The performance hybrid powertrain being explored through #projectblacks features an 'energy recovery system' (ERS) to harvest energy, deploying recovered electric power to boost power and torque. The result is instant, significant, lag-free acceleration. Inspired by the dual-hybrid system proven in Formula One, the technology does not yet exist in a current road car.
The reveal of #projectblacks in Geneva will help to gauge potential public interest in high-performance derivatives of #infiniti cars.
More information on #projectblacks will be available via www.INFINITIpresspacks.com from 17:00 (CET) on March 6.
