Halfwit Attempts to Stop Rolling Infiniti by…Stomping the Gas Pedal

As if exiting a car while it's still rolling without securing it in some way, be that by turning off the engine and placing it out of drive/gear while using the handbrake as well, isn't a daft move in itself, trying to stop it by pressing the gas pedal takes you to a whole new league of foolhardiness, now, doesn't it…

Possibly filmed in Russia, though, we can’t be entirely sure as there is no description on YouTube, the man behind the wheel obviously mixed the pedals when he jumped into the Infiniti FX to attempt to bring it to a halt before it hit the adjacent parked vehicle.

The result can be seen in the following dash-cam video.

New Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Gets 3.7-liter V6

Following the first teaser photo released earlier this month, Infiniti continues to build expectation for the Q50 Eau Rouge performance sedan with a new video.

While the script of the computer-generated film won’t get any creativity awards - it shows the sedan running in parallel with a Formula One car, then merging with it into a ball of liquid metal Terminator 2-style, only to explode and evaporate immediately after, it lets us hear the sound of the engine and even shows the “3.7” lettering on the front fender.

Obviously, this means the performance sedan will feature a 3.7-liter V6 engine with at least 320 hp, sourced from the larger Q70 sedan (formerly known as the M series).

The video also includes a close up of the rear end that reveals the Q50S moniker - probably the retail name of the production model previewed by the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge. The pre-production study will be unveiled at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.
