It's easy to get caught up in the hoopla surrounding the 2012 North American International Auto Show->ke222, but that doesn't mean that we're closing our eyes and ears to everything else going on in the automotive world. Especially when it comes to the Geneva Motor Show->ke228 this March.

One automaker that's looking to kick-start some buzz is Infiniti->ke36. Nissan's luxury brand has officially released the first teaser image of a new electric sports car concept that's going to break cover in Geneva.

Details are limited at this point, although we've been told that the car will carry a mid-mounted powertrain that will provide weight distribution and handling for the extended range vehicle. According to Infiniti, the still-to-be-named concept car will be an electrically-propelled vehicle that will make for a "vivid, engaging and sophisticated driving experience" for drivers everywhere.

It's been no secret that Nissan is looking into bringing a new electric car in the US for some time now. This concept car could very well be the precursor to that car, and if we do say so ourselves, we're looking forward to seeing what Infiniti has up its sleeve when the covers are pulled on this concept car at the Geneva Motor Show.
