Infiniti Etherea Concept

Infiniti Etherea Concept, supercharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, developing 245 horsepower and providing quick response and strong acceleration. Four wide-opening doors, rear-hinged at the back, and the absence of a B-pillar offer a real feeling of openness.

Infiniti Etherea Concept , An electric motor boosts power when needed and provides silent, lower-emission driving at low speeds. The transmission is a continuously variable (CVT) type and, in an Infiniti first, drive is to the front wheels.

Shiro Nakamura's design team liberally applied washi-paper-style décor, the vertical inserts on the lower part of the doors are inspired by inuyarai bamboo, and the piping on the seats is kumihimo Japanese braiding. The interior is full of lighting effects—and full of light-colored leather, one of Bruce’s people notes, making sure we forfeit all leaky ink pens and aren’t wearing shoes with dark rubber soles when the time comes to get behind the wheel.
