Infiniti has roped in Pirelli to help take the Q60 Project Black S further towards the road. The Project Black S, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, on the surface appears to be an Infiniti Q60 coupé with a more aggressive body kit. But hidden within the exterior is genuine Formula 1 technology courtesy of the Renault Sport Formula One team, which, like Infiniti, is part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. So you have a hybrid powertrain that captures lost energy from braking and forces it back through the motor to give huge acceleration boosts when most needed. Until now, this Project Black was just being considered as a feasibility study for the automaker to launch sportier models, but now with Pirelli being roped in, the car is on the road to reality. Pirelli will be entrusted with developing a set of bespoke P Zero tires for the car, as they have done for numerous supercars in the past. Looks like we’re going to have something exciting to look forward to.
