INFINITI Essence Concept

With pricing that starts around $150,000, the 2018 INFINITI Q100 is a stunning model that looks like it belongs in the next James Bond movie. Sexy and stylish both come to mind when describing the body of the car, but those words seem to pale in comparison to just how sleek it really is. This coupe may even just inspire the Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes devotees to turn their heads to take another look.

Examining the Powertrain

It’s not clear quite yet what the engine will be in the Q100, but it’s purportedly offered in both hybrid and V6. The hybrid will have both a gas engine and electric batteries, and the V6 will deliver up to 600 horsepower with 553 pounds per feet of torque. If those numbers mean little to you, picture yourself driving up to 200 miles an hour in the Q100, leaving practically everyone and everything behind you in the dust (if only just for a half hour on the driving course.) Available in 4-wheel drive with a dual exhaust system, the Q100 is obviously trying to step up its competitive edge in any way possible.

Design

As you might expect, this racy car has a low center of gravity, and its light-weight body is meant to ward off the negative effects of air tension. Instead of slowing the drive down or interfering its performance, the body design is meant to enhance the aerodynamics in a number of driving situations. You constantly get the power you want wherever you are while getting the control you need on slick or otherwise hazardous road conditions. The entire car has been engineered to give the driver as much confidence as possible without sacrificing on an exciting driving experience.

Inside

With a 6-figure price tag, you can expect the interior to reflect elegance. the cabin is built with only the best materials, and the entertainment system will be difficult to beat. The touchscreen makes it easy for you to select what you’ll hear next — whether that’s your favorite song, latest podcast, or driving directions to the nearest mall. Also comes with a standard rearview camera and rear parking, so you’re less likely to make a mistake when backing up in tight spaces. You also get full monitoring of the tension in your tires so you’re less likely to get into an accident due to improper pressure.

Standing Out

INFINITI has thrown out its own rule book to stand out in a sea of more established luxury competitors, and they have used the time wisely. The Q100 is another way for INFINITI to stand out and really let prospective drivers know what they’re all about. This car is not like anything they’ve come out with before, yet it still fits with INFINITI’s high standards and penchant for bending the rules to their favor. The car company’s ratings have continually gone up when it comes to driver satisfaction, interior comforts, and performance strength.
