Infiniti Essence review

Highlights of the vehicle include a very similar engine to the Nissan GT-R, paddle shifters, exotic Louis Vuitton luggage for the trunk, and the capability to be whisked away with nearly 600 total horsepower from hybrid electric - petrol engine. This combination of luxury and performance reminds me of the Bugatti Veyron in so many ways, but more efficient, cost effective, and actually able to be worked on here in the USA.

To properly kick off the party for the Infiniti Essence, there is a tour starting in Dallas, Texas and then progressing throughout key east coast cities. At these events, there will be special guests, key personnel, dealership VIP's, and of course the Infiniti Essence concept vehicle. There will be special photo shoots and interviews available to those seeking additional information. An ultimate parade of exotic luxury meets affordable manufacturer, the Infiniti Essence is sure to capture hearts in every city it visits.

• Front engine, rear wheel drive
• Paddle shift automated manual transmission
