  • this wont go into production, its just a brand icon to celebrate their 20th anneversary

  • wow so nissan/infiniti will have 2 super cars? GTR and the Essence

  • es el carro de batman??

  • are those wheels premium? lol

  • kind of looks like an aston martin one-77, atleast from the back

  • Hyundai Genesis!

  • This is a copy of TVR cars (trolls: not a carbon copy, but a design leech):

    wikipedia . org/wiki/TVR_Typhon

  • @medveur It's not a design leech. It's an improvement of an old design.

  • @medveur it doesn't look anything like a TVR lol its much lower and longer but it does have a slightly similar hood thats about it

  • woohoo I love unboxing videos!

  • one of da best car ever built,if it is not da one

  • It has *some* nice curves, although the sexy semi gloss silver paintjob makes it seem a lot more eye-popping than it would normally be, and its biggest flaw? Its front end, the "mouth" is ALL wrong: it looks like a squirrel with its cheeks full, like it's smuggling almonds in there! Shame.

  • @locomotosoto Agreed, the front end isn't cohesive. Very cool profile and rear (minus the pathetic louis vuitton marketting nonsense that gives you a clue to the queerness of potential buyers) but the front just doesn't match. Actually, looking at other pictures of it, not a huge fan of the rear either... New cars are so $hit really... Gimme a porsche 930 turbo or a shelby cobra roadster thing. Now those are cars with souls. Ultima gtr is cool too :)

  • @papapetad Glad I have some company. Too many people seem to be wowed by this, taken in by superficial first impressions. All of its best lines (the nicely proportioned profile with the very short overhangs and curvy wheel arch humps) are decades-old, classic car design. The rest of it is overegging the pudding, gilding the lilly, polishing the tu… The AC Cobra Mk III/ Shelby Cobra is IT. It just happens to be the car I most admire and desire. Or how about a Porsche 550 (Spyder)?

  • @locomotosoto

    I love the AC Cobra's myself and have often thought of building a kit car for one but realistically, I love the technology and the conveniences not available in older cars. I plan to have my cake and eat it too :) I like this car.

  • @finner87 You can mix and match. That's the beauty about technology. Use a modern drivetrain and brake package with the ac shell, extend the cockpit a little if you have to. Who cares about not sticking to EXACT specs of the original. Use the timeless looks and purpose of the old and inject some modern technology. Then you have your cake and you can eat it too. Personalizing your car is all about that rather than buying something someone else thinks is best for you.

  • @papapetad

    Thats why I could never be one to 'restore' cars. I've had my own thoughts about what I would do with a classic body shell and chasis

  • @finner87 I saw a late 60's stingray corvette with full ZR1 drivetrain and brakes. That's just freakin awesome! Overboard though especially in terms of wheel and brake size considering the ol stingray doesn't have the same dimensions, and that's the only failing I see in a conversion like that but it's very close to what I'd do in a "restoration" situation. I appreciate restoration work just for the quality and dedication but like you, I could not stick to stock specs. drum brakes?!?! yeah right

  • @finner87 Well, obviously, the thing to do is to have a Cobra for special driving pleasure-only occasions, and then ALSO have a usable, practical, "modest" supercar like a Porsche 911for everyday use (the pretty 993 variant is my fave, and a good Carrera 2 can be had for bargain prices compared to what else there is out there in terms of quality and driveability). But this Infiniti is lame. Only its profile is nice, but even there there are too many unnecessary fripperies.

  • @finner87 ...and btw, BOTH of those together can be had for less than what this thing would cost new (not an ORIGINAL Shelby Cobra, obviously, but a modern super-replica, there are some superb ones available)

  • @locomotosoto are you stupid? if this becomes a production car and lives up to the promise of an upscale gtr then no matter what the price this would absolutely smoke any car available...

  • @locomotosoto I see a recurring theme here :) Just checked out the porsche 550 and it's pretty much the same platform as the AC cobra...but I'll go for the cobra which IMO looks way better and has the performance to match. Not doubting that the 550 is fun to drive, but comparing that to the brutal driveline of the AC just doesn't cut it :) Some will want to shoot me but I'd like to see an AC with the new ZR1 corvette drivetrain. Sweetness!

  • I'd love to catch something like this on a big Fishing Trip.........

  • That is a car to own for life! Corvette stingray is one of them two...cant wait to get both

  • cant wait to see that beauty out in the road <3

  • why the hell would you want a luis vuitton in my trunk. If i can own this car which means i can buy better branding! thats the only stupid thing i found with this car

  • sexiest thing ive ever seen! cant wait till i get my own

  • I'm a BMW guy, own a 5 series, but I've been meaning to get something new lately. And I think I'm gonna go with an Infiniti. It is after all the Japanese BMW, and I do enjoy the look.

    Wonder if there is going to be an Essence Sedan, that would look sweet. :)

  • @TheMosesChannel

    Bmw is still better.. ;D

    germany knows how to make cars :D

  • oo god damn this is the bomb!!

  • Wow! That's all I have to say! Just wow!

  • I want to work for edmund if i can see carrs like this on a daily basis.

  • this thing is sex!!!

  • it doesnt even look real!! its amazing!!!!

  • werd...

  • Looks similar to the new Mercedes Gullwing

  • copy of TVR tec or tacson hmm tescon i guess somebody corrrect me..not myself!!

    LOL

  • Jeez! Infiniti makes some pretty cars....

  • I just jizzed a little

  • haha

  • they re putting this car in the new BOND movie

  • @3o5Miami If that is true I hope they don't wreck it as usual. XD

  • This car has to come out. I will take this over Lexus's LF-A. A V8 would be even better. If you are gonna pay this much money for the car, forget about gas mileage. Focus on performance. The rich folks won't worry about fuel efficiency if they a luxury vehicle.

  • Beautiful car. Also- why is the door a different color than the car? It has a blueish tint to it while the rest of the car has a yellowish tint.

  • the headlights kinda look like a fx?

  • desighners of infiniti are amazing

  • @jasongold123 They are Japanese.

  • @jasongold123 What would be even more amazing is any auto maker producing something that looks like this for the general public and not just for super rich people. :)

  • when will this car hit the streets dam...........................­i want this car grrrr........ my brother got the infiniti g35......now i want his super super car

    ima nissan/infiniti freak also

  • nice chose beautiful cars with affordible prices like even the exotic cars both very reliable and made by the same company. and are very bad in gas milage for japanese companies

  • I want this car!

  • why V6

  • You guys... Let me correct it for you.

    In 1978-1983 The 280ZX has Inline 6, Single Turbo or N/A

    In 1984-1989 the 300ZX has the V6 Single Turbo or N/A

    In 1990-1996 the 300ZX also runs on V6, Twin Turbo or N/A.

    In 2003-Present, the Z, and not the ZX came back with a V6. All Non Turbo.

  • Ummmm yeah the X in ZX was symbolizing LUXURY!!! They dropped it from the line when the 350Z came back on the scene in the US. They wanted to focus on SPORTS CAR rather than LUXURY!! Also to correct you the 280ZX was from 1980 and up to 84. Prior was just the 280Z

  • I dont have a problem with a V6 engine on a Maxima or Altima or the Z, but why V6 on a Supercar??? Go V8 like a Stallion or V10 LFA.. Typical Nissan, always re-use the VQ based engine. Com on Nissan, get with the program.

  • The R35 is a v6 Nissan makes incredible V6's and it doesn't say this motor is a vq based engine but A LOT of super cars have v6's look at Porsche

  • Its an V6 TWIN TURBO. Cant put a V6 on an super car? I tho GT-R is a V6 as well and by the way didnt they call it a SUPER CAR also

  • um are you saying the GTR needs a v8?: funny how it outperforms and destroys v8's and 10's on a consistent basis. Its technology over dipslacement my friend!

  • I am buying this car

  • schöner als ein Aston... ;-)

  • when do u expect this baby hits the marklet ? i`ll start saving from now lol !

    *INFINITI FREAK*

  • the grill reminds me of a maserati

  • DAMN nice car

  • The flat surface between the side window and the curvature on the side clashes...hahaha, god what a gorgeous car!

  • thats a thing of beauty

  • NISSAN, NISMO, INFINITI FTW!!!

  • she's just a cosmic girl ^^

  • I'd hit it...

  • Comment removed

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn thats a car

  • Insane, reminds me a maserati though

  • The GTR was originally going to be under the Infiniti badge in the U.S. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Essence on the road. The Japanese have been very aggressive, especially since the recession. With U.S. auto makers behind in quality, technology, and being broke it makes sound business sense to increase market shares especially when you have the money, demand, and a quality product. I live in the U.S., facts are facts its over man!

  • haawwt!

  • i could care less about about power and how fast it goes with a car this beautiful. lol

  • Yeah somebody needs to come out with a super high gas mileage commuter car thats that beautiful. Then we'd be talking market-takeover.

  • how can u develop 600 hp from v6???

  • twin turbo 6 from the skyline + electric motors

  • How do you know it has a 3.7 or a 3.8? Since Infiniti clearly stated no Engine information can be released? So your answers to this questions are false till the information can get surfaced.

  • looks very mazdaish

  • Just a GT-R engine with an electric motor also. I don't think Nissan will make this a production car. Personally I think it will remain a concept car because if your looking at it at a business point of view. This car will take off GT-R buyers. Also I'm willing to bet this car will cost over 100K USD. And will probably cost a lot of money to make. So I figure Nissan won't be make this a production car. Well not anytime soon.

  • errrr dude the gtr have a 3.7 twinturbo this have 3.6 twinturbo

  • er dude. its a 3.8 in the gtr... errrrr....

  • That's a nice Maserati GT..oh wait ... imitation is the best form of flattery I guess.

  • Holy crap!! That car was beautiful!!

  • come to san francisco!!! i wanna see it.

  • And one more thing what about the muthafucking LA?!! fucking pricks.

  • My mom would love that.

  • Why don't you see a Lincoln like this?

    HA!

  • same face as maserati granturismo

  • It is quite possibly a VR38DETT mated to 4 electric drive motors substituting the heavy ATTESA ETS unit. Who knows? Maybe even based on GT-R chassis.

  • looks like aston martin but really shitty rims

  • Looks nice, it could get a littler bigger taillights in my opinion. don't like the thought of the electric motor. i wonder about pricing? more then current GTR?

  • wow tvr much?

  • Copying TVR Sagaris from 5 years ago... nice move, NOT!

  • looks hot, they gonna sell like hot cakes in dubai.

  • amazing...... infiniti always have the best design....

  • i wonder how much it'l cost

  • That car looks great. wish they had a sound clip of the exhaust note.

  • hybrid ... ? where did they get the mechanics from ?

  • Very nice, How much?

  • the body design is gold! if they kept it like that then the car would easily sell for a nice 120 grand. and that may be even under estimating it. depending on exactly what that engine details.

  • Your lucky if you can get this car for 120K.

    I have already heard the price will be closer to 200K. But either way its a work of Art. And way out of my price range.

  • that looks good but a million is too much

  • sweet ride. whant one

  • goddamn, 600HP?? Never have i known a car with only a V6 that produces that much power, and just when i thought the GTR had alot for that small motor. does it even need to be compared with a GTR R35???

  • It's 600 hp combined. You'll never actually have all 600hp at once though, because it's probably 120 from the electric motor and 480 from the V6 twin turbo.

  • Hp isnt everything. Fairly certain the gtr would eat this alive.

  • well i can say it would most likely beat it hands down around the track, thats for sure. and of course 0-60, but what about top end speed?? hmmm

  • SEEEEXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!

  • beautiful.... looks sort of like a maserati gran turismo

  • wow i want one!!! lol How much will it cost??

  • More than you can afford. Go drive your piece of shit Hyundai Elantra beaner boy.

  • well it surely will go past the 100K ..... the GTR is close to that but this one produces more BHP and is an infiniti

  • Infiniti sits under the same roof of Nissan tho...

  • i know .. its sort of the elegant branch of nissan .... like honda and acura..... so thats why i said it would be more expensive than the gtr .. because its an infiniti.... the same way the g37 is more expensive than an altima

  • That's just beautiful, I really hope they produce it and keep it at least slightly similar. COME TO ATLANTA!!!! lol

  • F'in clutch!

  • O_O

  • What a beauty !!!

  • Wow! This thing is going into production? Amazing!!!!

  • Very cool! Please make this car Infiniti!!!

  • This Infiniti is sooo sexy, yet it looks aggressive!

  • nice as hell

  • The GT-R's bro!

  • Car in a toolbox. Gotta love it!

  • The front reminds me of the Maserati Quattroporte.

  • BOSS

  • First thing that comes to my mind is WHALE SHARK! But GOOD GOD, its so pretty and shiny!

  • is that liquid platinum paint color?

  • When does it come to Dallas?! I'll so be there.

  • god damn

  • Meh, I have one, the flux capacitor keeps keeps malfunctioning so I think I might trade it in

  • lol nice try

  • HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!

  • looks like an aston with a solstice coupe rear end

  • DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNNN­NNN

    <3 skeet

  • Oh, what a beautiful vehicle...

    Now THAT'S what a car is supposed to look like! 600 Horse power??? Now I'm totally in love!!!

  • I love how it looks but there is no way in hell I would be able to afford it is my guess

  • kinda looks like an aston martin vanquish

  • MAAAN THATS SEXY

  • LOVE....IM IN LOVE...To bad I wont be able to afford this baby :(

  • WOW.. what a car.. it does have some flashes of the Maserati Gran Turismo.. but WHAT A CAR !

  • looks too much like a maserati

  • can you spell love

  • probably has the same engine as the nissan gt-r only its probably twiked to 600 hp... or bigger turbo or larger displacement... idk what ever it is this car looks sexy and sounds like its gona be fast!!

  • that cars pretty damn futuristic

  • Epic !

  • I designed a car very similar to the Essence

  • i'll take this hybrid over the prius anyday

  • Comment removed

  • either GTR's engine with a bit more horsepower(since this one is going to be more expensive) or a new V8. i bet this thing is going to be 550HP-600HP. But sure it will slower than Lexus LF-A since Lexus will be the top end of 220mph.

  • That is a very hot looking car.

  • That is a genuinely beautiful car.

  • That is fucking hot, the back is sooo sexy!

  • japanese version of Maserati's gran turismo!

  • love it

  • WOW JAPANESSE MASERATI GT

  • whoa that is one good lookin car i dont like the wheels though. Yeah black paint on that thing is gonna look wicked

  • OMG!! That thing is so BadAss... Just Amazing...

  • Damn it looks expensive!!

  • looks a bit like jag

  • high performance luxury sports car from infiniti. eh...pretty to look at, but not worth much else.

  • Hmm looks like a Maserati GranTurismo. Secret engine? Maybe a old RB26DETT suped up? Or the new secret twin-turbo they have been working on?

  • or the new nissan gtr's engine

  • He said its a V6 so it can't be the RB26DETT.

  • I think it's top secrect because of the hybrid system. If you think about it. most hybrid have puny electric motors combined with 4 bangers trying to achieve 100mpg by expecting people to drive as quick as a snail.

    But this one is probably the 1st eco supercar to become a reality(whether you like it or not). an electric motor that can perform and withstand supercar power. A lot of manufaure are doing the same but hasn't even got a prototype yet.

  • Makes sense Tango, I can definitely see that now as Acura announced the new NSX would be a hybrid too. Yeah zizoubilly forgot about that. :P

  • i knew it would have some improved gt-r engine

  • nice, it should be called Inlifornia or Insseratti.................lol

  • LETS GO INFINITI BABY

  • Whoa, that thing is crazy. Kinda reminds me of the Tiberon or however you spell it.

  • horrible colour. Would be better in black.

    But nice ride. Weird but nice.

  • ooops i must have misunderstood your statement. sorry.

  • wow, an Infiniti that doesn't look ugly... thats rare

  • what a car...can't believe its a nissan

  • cool unboxing

  • looks like an austin martin

  • any videos of the gauges? they look great on pictures. I´d like to see them working.

  • sexxy....supa sexxy!
