Just had this video come through via the Infiniti Newsletter. I'm sure some of us have seen it but for those who haven't, pretty sweet: https://www.youtube.com/infiniti

I saw something a few days ago that the Eau Rouge being a part of some DLC for Forza 5. It makes me think that Infiniti must be pretty confident of production and that that the final product will look just like the concept or else I doubt they'd give the go ahead for it to be used in the game.

Orly? Let's fast forward two months... if that's truly his motivation, then Johan De Nysschen believes he has a better shot at achieving that goal through Cadillac.

Yeah I saw the same thing on my 360 and xbox one. I've also seen a video of a car reviewer driving it around a track. He mentioned that it won't have the same dual clutch transmission as the GTR, but a single clutch 7 speed, so I wonder if it's the same 7at that the normal Q50 has.

I also think infiniti needs this car.

The g37 is their fastest car and its a bit sad when you think about it.
Especially since they have no forced induction engines.

Also, here is some info about it, including the transmission being from the M70.

Actually it's not. The M56/Q70 5.6 is faster than the G37. With 420hp and 400+ lb of torque.

The Eau Rouge prototype every one is seeing running around has the Q70 AWD and Transmission. Its the system that is used in the Q70 5.6/M56. They used that because thats the only thing in the line up that can hold up to the power right now.

This isnt a perfect system by any means but my guess is that they will use the 7 sp from the c63 amg (I mean that makes most sense since we have that partnership with Diamler)

Also, the one every one is reviewing appears to be Wrapped (the one from the show has the bloody awesome red paint job). So my guess is that there is 2 Eau Rouges. The red one and the wrapped one.
