Infiniti Essence Concept still has chances to be produced

The response to Infiniti’s Essence Concept at this year’s Geneva Motor Show has been nothing short of “phenomenal,” according to Infiniti exec Ben Poore who spoke to Motor Trend recently.

The elation wasn’t long-lasting however, since the audience at Geneva was told at the unveiling that the vehicle was only intended to be a concept. Nonetheless, there is a glimmer of hope since Infiniti has said that its stunning design will soon influence future vehicles. Poore had told Motor Trend that the concept, a twin-turbo V6 hybrid coupe capable of a combined 592 brake horsepower, is “only a show piece… for now.”

I think this would be a direct competitor against the Lexus LF-A maybe they can get the design down because the exterior on the LFA doesnt have the WOW factor to me to have a price tag of about $400k.

I hope infiniti does make this and show lexus how to design a sports car with great looking street preference

If they do, I'm seeing it as a direct hit againt the 6 series, A5 and E coupe, depending on the performance...this car could be a winner. But honestly I do not like the exterior.

I say build it Infiniti but this is NO WHERE NEAR A SIX FIGURE *SS VEHICLE. Neither is the LF-A. Exterior styling alone doesnt qualify this vehicle as a 6 figure automobile. Sorry...

So by your logic cars are priced based on how pretty they are not the engineering, materials and build costs?
