Infiniti Q50 First to Get Motors from Daimler Tie Up

The Infiniti Q50 is going to make its European debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and under the hood will be the first result of a powertrain partnership between Renault-Nissan and Daimler AG.

Technical details won’t be unveiled until the show in March, but it is likely that both a turbo four-cylinder gas engine and a turbo four-diesel engine will be on display. The Q50 is the first Infiniti vehicle to use engines sourced from a Daimler-Nissan/Renault partnership that will also be shared with Mercedes-Benz.

A new plant in Decherd, Tenn. is currently being built to manufacture turbo four-cylinder engines for the Mercedes C-Class. Infiniti’s announcement today that the Q50 is coming to Geneva with “European power” offer strong hints at what will power the car.
