2009 Infiniti Essence concept is the preview of future hybrids

We already saw the unveiling of Infiniti’s Essence concept earlier this week, and now the Automotive News is reporting it may be more than just a pipe dream. While the Essence is not likely to see the light of day, it is a preview of Infiniti’s future design and engineering philosophies. So that means we may start to see elements of the curvy lines and 592 hp gas-electric hybrid engine on future Infinity cars and SUVs. This could be realized as soon as 2010 when the new M sedan debuts.
