It was only a matter of time before the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge took a test down the famous Eau Rouge corner at the Spa-Francorchamps race track in Belgium. This is the corner of the track that the F1-inspired sedan is named after. And it would only be fitting for Infiniti's Director of Performance and current four-time Formula One driver's champion Sebastian Vettel to give it a go.

Still in its prototype stage, the race-inspired sports sedan wouldn't only be driven by Vettel, but a competition would be set-up along with American racing driver Parker Kligerman and Nine-Ball World Champion snooker player Pan Xiaoting. Why? Who knows, but Infiniti does a great job in setting up the illusion of a fascinating competition in the video.

Vettel had a hand in designing the Eau Rouge and he provided some tips about the race track for the other two competitors. The Spa track can be tricky, especially when you get to the Eau Rouge corner, as drivers need to go flat out for a fast run onto the straight in order to make good time.

The stage was set, but of course nobody told mother nature, as heavy rains would fall during Vettel's run.

"Even though it was difficult to get a proper feel for the car's performance due to the wet track, the engineering team have made definite improvements to the car in the areas of steering and suspension since I first drove it earlier in the year," said Vettel. "There is definitely no shortage of power from the Q50 Eau Rouge. All in all it was an interesting day and we had fun. It was a privilege to be given the task of driving the Q50 Eau Rouge on one of the most demanding corners in the world."

The Q50 Eau Rouge continues with the Q50's double arch grille with a lower and wider stance from the normal sedan, formerly the G37. The base engine that's in the prototype is a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6, currently in the Nissan GT-R. The sports-tuned sedan is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission and has aerodynamic bodywork that comes from the world of Formula One, producing 560 hp.
