Infiniti Essence Concept Revealed

Shades of Fisker Karma

They just made another "elegant" monster. =o=

nice concept :)

I love the interior, very well designed.

Now if you're going up against the Euro market, that's the proper way to do it. Seriously not a fan of that front end, though.

Looks sexier than the One-77... on the fence about the Supra-esque interior, though.

Brilliant, put a GT-R platform under it and I can see big trouble for the euro premium brands, because I will prefer this to a 6 series, Merc CL, Porsche 911, AudiR8, Maserati and the rest of the pack.

That's spectacular. Great job Infiniti!

This is what would happen if the Nissan GT-R and its cousin the Infiniti G37 made incredible, passionate love for hours on end...

its a GTR with a tuxedo

I guess its safe to say the NEXT G coupe will look like this. WOW!!!

I have high hopes for this vehicle to make it into production. This will make the luxurious coupe competition much harder for german manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar in terms of sales I personally think. This vehicle represents the future of luxurious coupes and the design is well defined, especially with the help of Louis vuitton for the interior. Overall, this car is brings the full package in terms of design and I think its a good look for Infiniti.

wow!!! build it as it is!!! that's beautiful!

This is s bomb. BUILD IT Nissan, but please use high end material, quality. No body wants a rattling super car.

OMG Sex on wheels.

Wa Wa Wee Wa, this is certainly one of the best concepts at Geneva.

That is some sharp car. Love the agression on Infiniti designs.

WOW, its breath taking 10/10 for design, hope they produce this. i just love the lines i cant stop looking at it. whats happened to Lexus they better pull finger otherwise they will be left well in the dust. AWSOME Nissan keep up the good work.

Monster luxury car. (and i dnt mean tht as an insult) this is rather sexy...

First, I have an old 97 Lexus ES300, and today I was looking at several new Lexii in the showroom, and was dissapointed. The fact is, the plastics in my old Lex are softer, with a rubberized feel, lower sheen, and less grainyness than the newest ES300? So, what gives? Well IMO the only Lexus with serious thrill-power is teh LS430, it is covered in serious kit, in and out. What makes me sad is what I saw today tells me Lexus will not win the long and fun battle with cross-town rival Infiniti because they are coasting on Badge-appeal, instead of real skill, giving all the good stuff to the LS430 and dressing up Toyota parts for the other cars. One exception is the cheapest Lexus, the IS330, it is better resolved and uses better materials than the very brand-new Lexus RX. That said, this Infiniti is beautiful, in the binnacle photo there's a nice nod to the US, the navi is pointing toward Detroit. A very subtle way of keeping the States in mind perhaps? Or are they telling us this beauty is going to arrive on our shores soon? Either way, it is well resolved, the interior is superb, the guages are futuristic without looking ill-proportioned (IE Current Civic), and I like how the signature clock is retained, breaking up the surface volumes of the dash. My take, refine the shoulder line, and fine tune the non-Hoffmeister kink to a slightly more balanced or centered form and it's a go. Oh, one last thought, the wheels look derivative, I'd say add volume to them with clean, articulate patterns, and a lustrous sheen to complement the body, let the trim be the sparkle, maybe even use kevlar or carbon fiber in the wheels to build some black contrast into the shapes. As for the cross-town rivalry, it is interesting to note that whatever they call it, (Lexus calls it L-Finesse) both Lexus and Infiniti are doing a similar treatment to their cars, but Infiniti is doing a better job. So what does it all mean? Who knows, but my guess is we can ask Lexus how they feel about 2nd place when these two brands meet for their 30 year celebration. Nice work Infiniti, nice work! Drive on people, drive on!
