Powered by a twin-turbo, direct-injection 3.7-liter V6 and a new electric drive design dubbed "3D Motor", the Essence yields a combined 592 brake horsepower (434 via internal-combustion, 158 brake horsepower via the lithium-ion backed disc-shaped electric motor).

The very unjapanese scale of the Essence yields a more Nippon-influenced interior for two, including an attractive driver-oriented "cocoon" that features a flat-bottomed steering wheel, hand-painted wood designed to look like Japanese laquerware and eccentricities like asymmetrical seat seams that mimic the way 'Japanese men and women tie their kimonos.

Sadly they are not nor is a new Q45 coming. Its a design study to show cues that will be on future Infinitis. The brand is seriously struggling again, even with much improved products :(

Posted about this a while ago. Seriously hope that this is a hint at what we can expect for the next G coupe.

A 370Z rebadge is supposedly coming to the brand so they can have a 2 seater below the G37 coupe.
