Infiniti Q60 Project Black S with F1 tech will never be a reality

KUALA LUMPUR: Do you remember the Infiniti Q60 Project Slack concept? We won't blame you if you didn't, as the said concept was introduced in 2017 and since that, a lot has happened in the automotive industry. Well, to brush up, the Infiniti Q60 Project Black S concept is based on the Q60 Red Sport 400, and it's powered by a Biturbo 3.0-litre V6 mill churning a maximum power of 563 hp. It was assigned to benefit from Formula One powertrain technology, but it all seems like a dream now. Why?

Infiniti Q60 Project Black S cancelled

According to Automotive News, Infiniti has officially canceled the undertaking. In short, the inspiring Project Black S will never make it to the production stage. Reason? Well, it is said that Roland Krueger, Infiniti's former boss was the one pushing the Q60 Project Black S concept. However, after his departure, the program had no one to vouch for it and it eventually died.

Response?

Well, the dealers and enthusiasts don't seem to be affected by the decision and some would rather prefer a QX60 crossover.
