Alizium Auto Blogs: Infiniti Essence: Retro Hybrid

Some car designs are destined to be a classic and others are more classic than others. Take for instance the Infiniti Essence concept. The car’s lines are reminiscent of the old Fairlady Z, with the long hood and short rear deck. This however isn’t your neighbor’s go-fast car. It has a 3.7 liter V6 giving out 434 horsepower plus a 158 horsepower electric motor for a combined total of 592 horses. The electric motor won’t be this car’s Achilles heel as Infiniti states that they have a redesigned the motor’s architecture to give out more torques. Two motors plus a custom-designed Louis Vuitton luggage? The combination of power with luxury and this Essence makes absolute sense.
