Cirque dazzles at Infiniti Q50 reveal

Canadian-based performance group Cirque du Soleil introduced the Infiniti Q50 Monday morning in one of the more creative car reveals on the first day of the 2013 North American International Auto Show. The 2 minute-long show started with rhythmic music as a black curtain dropped and smoke cleared to reveal three female performers that twirled lighted batons that spelled words like “performance” and “technology.”

They were followed by three male performers in face paint and elaborate red and white costumes who circled the car, doing handstands, flips and other acrobatics. The brief show concluded with a veil being lifted off the new car, which Infiniti President Johan De Nysschen said launched a “bold new journey” for the automaker.
