Infinity Essence Concept

There is a lot here that looks very familiar...but more refined. They have been doing that for a very long time.

Chime in Solsters...

Do you think they may have gotten some ideas from our Coupe?

Wow. Lot's of similarities.

Sky like headlights

No door handles (total concept)

GXP like rear.

Pod like interior (magazine writers think the solstice is claustrophic?)

Very similar stance to the GXP and sky with long hood and flared front fenders, short back....

In my opinion...one of the most gorgeous sportscars to come along...with some outstanding features as well. Certainly surpassing the beauty of even the Solstice...and the exotic-ness has clean sculputured lines rather than a track scooped and winged racer. I love it!....but it will certainly be priced outta my range. I stick with my GXP......

Damn, That is really nice looking. Looks like they got some of the design from the Kappas. Very classy.

They very well may have been inspired by the Solstice . . . and improved on it. But . . . I'd venture to guess that you could but two Solstices for the price of one of those.

Ha!...more like ten or more Solstice GXPs for the price of one Essence...I would bet!

EXACTLY!!! That is just what I was thinking. So I hope Infiniti does build this thing and I hope it costs at least 60K or more.

I can just see us driving up next to one and asking "Pardon me is that a Pontiac"?

Too Funny! Maybe something like this will drive someone to pick up this wonderful car we call our own and keep it in production! It is blatantly obvious to me that this concept car was conceived from within our Sols.

And I can see someone driving up to one of us and saying, "Excuse me, it that the new Infiniti?"
