Infiniti sports car with a power hybrid installation will enter the global car market in 2016. When developing the new items, technologies developed in the production of concepts of Emerg-E and Essence models will be applied. Such information is reported by Autocar, referring to the words of the executive vice president of the Japanese company Nissan Mr. Andy Palmer.
The newcomer will be intended for customers of the young age category of the Asian region who have reached thirty years of age having one child and take care of the environmental environment. According to Vice President Palmer, the concept of a sports car “will be similar to the electric car of Tesla, though it will have a greater operational flexibility in the area of stock reserve”.
It is planned that the new model will be equipped with a new hybrid power unit either with the permissibility of recharging batteries from the electric network, or with a small ICE that will fuel batteries during movement. There are no specific information about the units yet. Palmer only noted that the debutant will definitely not be equipped with a “turbocharger” from the company Nissan GT-R model, because “it is absolutely not suitable for the concept from Infiniti”.
The conceptual rear -wheel drive supercar of the Essence model was released in 2009 to honor the twenty -year anniversary of Infiniti. The Supercar power power plant included a 3-type V6 engine for 3.7 liters developing 440 “horses” and an electric motor that issues the power of 160 “horses” with a system of recovery of their own energy during inhibition.
In the spring in 2012, Infiniti presented on the Geneva Auto Show an electric supercar for 407 “horses” of the Emerg-E model with a wheel chassis made of extruded aluminum, as well as carbon panels of the body. The car was equipped with a pair of electric motors and a 1 gasoline engine for 1.2 liters. The head of the planning unit of new industries from Japan Francois Bankon at that time did not exclude the likelihood of serial production of such a model. He stated that in the case of setting an electric supercar on a serial conveyor, the cost of a supercar would be about 150,000 North American dollars.
