Infiniti Essence

[96Plumls]

The Essence originally debuted at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show (http://blogs.edmunds.com/straightline/2009/03/2009-geneva-auto-show-infiniti-essence-concept.html) and was seen by some as the highly anticipated Infiniti version of the Nissan GT-R (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=126103). A twin-turbocharged and direct-injected 3.7-liter V6 engine rated at a claimed 432 horsepower pointed in that direction. However, a rear-drive electric motor and 158-hp lithium-ion battery pack made the packaging seem less feasible for production, though the claimed 592-hp combined rating certainly looked good on the spec sheet. What is clear, though, is that Infiniti is intent on using the Essence to market a new design language and the brand as a whole.

i wonder if the window motors will break, or if the transmission was made from the get-go to mess up, or if the door lock actuators break, or if the cd player stops working- twice-, or if the leather comes apart, or if the plastic pieces on the door start to fall off?

Actually NIssan stated this car will not be produced. Future models will take cues from this car.
