12-01-2012 at 08:00: Infiniti’s New Direction

Infiniti’s stepping it up with their range of vehicles with the development of an advanced sports car concept, due for global reveal at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

Lightweight with the offer of low emissions, the sports car concept will be the first Infiniti to have not only a range-extender drivetrain but also one mounted in a mid-ship package for optimal weight distribution and therefore handling.

Infiniti already enjoys a lead in high performance, low emission technologies with its Infiniti M Hybrid.  But the purpose of the Geneva concept is to explore what might be the next stage in how to deliver a vivid, engaging and sophisticated driving experience from an electrically-propelled vehicle.  The mid-ship mechanical layout could be a vital ingredient.

The as yet unnamed car is said to minimize the traditional compromise between thrilling performance and sustainable mobility.  Its style, content and mid-ship package are all new to Infiniti, although the character of this sports car concept remain absolutely true to the brand, as does the direction of its innovative electric vehicle engineering which is to combine extreme, low emission open-road performance with zero emission operation in urban situations.
