Car and Driver Blog Infiniti EMERG-E Mid-Engine Sports-Car Concept Revealed [Geneva Auto Show]

So what do you guys think? I think it looks too busy and it won't age well. I think the nsx looks much better.

I think it looks really funky.

Thechidz · 02-13-2012, 11:32 AM

I like it, but I bet it's $$$$

kenchan · 02-13-2012, 12:00 PM

so this would be faster than 370Z but slower than GTR? or is this something that is suppose to be faster than the GTR? or just a hybrid sports car...(?)

actually, so far it's a drawing on a piece of paper. there's no guarantee that it will ever be produced. car companies are always coming up with these wild and crazy concepts for auto shows, many with no plans of ever making them. most probably, they will use the hybrid tech into the next generations of gtr or z along with their infiniti cars.

Kind of reminds me of an Austin Martin.

i know that. my point was "wat's the goal/direction/purpose for the car."

Some details remind me of a few cars: 458 italia, R8, SLS. . .

to turn attention away from the fact that the "new" 370z is exactly the same as the old 370z

Red__Zed · 02-13-2012, 01:14 PM

Kinda like it as a start....obviously still early stage

I could see this as Infiniti's answer to the NSX, not top power or number 1 on the track but well balanced, some luxury options, latest tech, etc.
The concept looks a bit rough, mainly because they took some good styles from other cars and tried to blend it with current Infiniti style which does not work.

I love the styling, can't wait to see the actual car itself and not just drawings.
