The wait for the Infiniti Essence is finally over, as the much-anticipated concept car to celebrate 20 years of Nissan’s luxury brand, has been presented at the 2009 Geneva motor show. The figures of this car are enviable: a two-seater hybrid coupè with 600hp, rear wheel drive and 4.7 metres in length to follow the new “Dynamic Adeyaka” philosophy.

The muscular exterior contrasts with the minimalist interior and twin colour design: black for the driver’s side and red for the passenger’s. The engine is a V6, 3.7L with twin turbo compressors to reach 440hp. This is combined with an electric motor at 160hp, that can function independently, achieving zero emissions.

Figures are estimated at about 190 g/km of average fuel consumption (8l/100km), despite the 600hp. Safety features include the Safety Shield, Distance Control Assistant and Back-up Collision Prevention.
