Infiniti Essence revealed

Epik · 03-03-2009, 03:19 PM

The red portion interior makes me think of me some sort of alien spacecraft cockpit.

JB135i · 03-03-2009, 03:32 PM

One silver and one black please....

The eco-nuts would be so confused too. Of course they would still find a reason to hate your success, but it would stall them a second when they saw the Hybrid badging.

.:bHd:. · 03-03-2009, 04:58 PM

wow that looks nice. They took all the good looking parts of infinities and combined into one car. The tail lights look sick as well.

Deda · 03-03-2009, 05:33 PM

fantastic car!

TiAg335i · 03-03-2009, 05:39 PM

The back is a masterpiece...love the direction the Infiniti design team is going.

DakarE36 · 03-03-2009, 05:43 PM

If that car is actually produced, it is the single coolest production car i can think of, its SO badass, that interior is fricking AWESOME. I love it, go Infiniti!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 03-03-2009, 05:44 PM

wow, VERY nice

wu2x · 03-03-2009, 05:45 PM

The article states that it won't be produced, sadly. I love the dashboard!

cougfan335 · 03-03-2009, 05:49 PM

Real nice. I sure hope we see that back end and headlights showing up soon on G37s and maybe incorporate a bit of the roofline in a M45 replacement

Id drive a fuckking pinto with that dashboard/gauge cluster.
The coolest thing ever.

BMW335icDDS · 03-03-2009, 06:18 PM

One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen...

Couldn't we technically give that recognition to Aston and Maserati?

Strictly speaking of mass produced cars, not limited supercars.

This is gorgeous!!

It says it won't be produced but it may be. This car is just too good looking to not make it into production. Maybe they are seeing what the reaction is to this car. They should just keep the design, throw the GT-R engine in there and call it a day.

TunedM2C · 03-03-2009, 11:08 PM

Hints of Fisker Karma in the design. I like it.

Draman · 03-04-2009, 01:49 AM

My god that is a stunningly beautiful car

Ah, that's right.

Actually I prefer the grille on the Essence over the Fisker Karma. But perhaps the Infiniti emblem should be smaller... and maybe not even on the grille itself but placed above it on the hood.

sinnet112 · 03-04-2009, 04:42 AM

Infinitis are starting to all look like an angry fish, but it doesn't look bad. I'd still take a Maserati GT over it though.

Year's_End · 03-04-2009, 04:52 AM

My problem with the design stems from the stupid belt line. It just ruins an otherwise nice design. The bottom of the greenhouse should swoop down instead.

JW-Tuning · 03-04-2009, 05:53 AM

looks very nice.. but a v6???

blue2fire · 03-04-2009, 06:09 AM

It looks like all the Japanese Supercars are getting delayed due to this darned Crisis. Infiniti probably would not have a hesitation to announce production if the world was doing any better, what with the NSX and the (Horrid) LF-A.
