With an in-your-face grille and a sensual side profile, there is not a lot about the Essence to dislike. LEDs find themselves home in the headlights and taillights, but most interestingly in the front grille's emblem. And, if that was not enough, get a look at the intsrument cluster on this beast! Looking as though it has taken inspiration between Aston Martin and Lamborghini's Reventon, it is a juxtaposition of metals and bright screens. The execution is bar none and looks as though it is a fancy German or Swiss watch -- IWC anyone?

Although the GT-R is one of the quickest vehicles on the planet, its interior cannot hold a candle to this. The Essence has a flat-bottomed steering wheel, plenty of alcantara, aluminum and large paddle shifters.
After getting a gander at this new concept from Infiniti, only two questions remain:
1) Why didn't the M look more like this?
2) Will the upcoming G take some of this design language and implement it in a smaller, tighter package? If I was a betting man, I would say something becomes inherited.
