HONG KONG – INFINITI and Renault #f1 Team have completed the track-focused development of the unique high-performance, dual-hybrid powertrain created for the #infiniti Project Black S prototype. The development work was signed off at Salzburgring in Austria by Renault #f1 Team star Nico Hülkenberg, where two prototypes were put through their paces. 

INFINITI will continue to test and validate elements of the Q60 Project Black S prototype and will take a decision on the production potential for the car and its technologies by the end of 2019.

An evolving collaboration between #infiniti and Renault #f1 Team, the Project Black S prototype has served as a test-bed for development of the new Formula One -inspired powertrain technology. The latest version of the Project Black S was revealed in Paris in fall 2018. Since then, powertrain engineers from Renault #f1 Team and #infiniti have developed the unique technology further, exploring whether it could be deployed in a high-performance road car. Furthermore, the program has provided an insight into how #infiniti can work hand-in-hand with partners on developing new projects and technologies.

Mike Colleran, Deputy Chairman, #infiniti Motor Company, comments: "The work that has gone into Project Black S represents a milestone in INFINITI's road to electrification. This test-bed for new ideas, and rapid development, represents everything #infiniti hopes to achieve with its electrified cars in future, such as smart energy management from advanced high-performance powertrains, a thrilling drive, and a performance aesthetic."

Cyril Abiteboul, Managing Director of Renault #f1 Team, said "A technical partner to the Renault #f1 team, INFINITI's experience of working with homologated hybrid powertrain technology was instrumental in the co-development of our dual-hybrid system. The Black S project now gives us a rare opportunity for the direct transfer of genuine F1-honed technology back into a road car. Making this leap, from circuit to road, is something we are incredibly excited to be involved in".
