Infiniti surprised the public with a novelty for Pebble Beach

The Japanese brand exists only 28 years and can not boast of a rich historical heritage. But this year Infiniti decided to impress everyone and built a unique concept, which showed how the vintage racing car of the brand could look in the thirties of the last century.

In motion, Infiniti Prototype 9 Concept leads an electric motor on the rear axle, borrowed from the new hatchback Nissan Leaf. Its power is 150 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. From 0 to the first "hundred", the retrocar accelerates in less than 5.5 seconds. The maximum speed of the car is limited to 170 km / h. The stock of batteries of the electric vehicle is enough for 20 minutes of continuous driving on the track.

The appearance of the concept has nothing to do with modern models of Infiniti. Remarkably similar is the chrome grille of characteristic shape and, of course, the brand logo.

All the details of the body of the unusual Infiniti Prototype 9 Concept are made of lightweight modern materials, so the mass of the car is only 890 kilograms.

Infiniti Prototype 9 Concept will be presented to the public in the framework of the upcoming Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2017.
