So we all know Nissan skipped the North American International Auto Show however, maybe that was just to give themselves time to polish off this jewel they just debuted at the Geneva Motor Show. Behold the Infiniti Essence; a 600HP Front Engine RWD Coupe that is, in a word; jaw-dropping.
Powered by a Twin-Turbo 3.7L V6, the Infiniti Essence also draws power from a new electric engine being called the “3D Motor”. The split is 434HP via pistons, rods and turbos and another 158HP from the lithium-ion disc-shaped electric motor.
The design is not typical Japanese, and seems to be borrowing much from Italy and a certain prancing horse, but if the Infiniti Essence is a taste of what the future holds for Infiniti, then the future is good – really good.
