Infiniti mid-engined Sports Car Concept teased

Infiniti Sports Car Concept Tease

Infiniti is teasing a range extender, mid-engined sports car ahead of a debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March.

The eyes of the motoring world may be on the Detroit Auto Show, but that’s not stopping car makers teasing new cars heading for the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in the Spring. And this morning we have the Infiniti Sports Car Concept to view. Well, a very small part of it anyway.

The photo of Infiniti’s Sports Car Concept above is the latest tease from Infiniti, although we have no doubt there will be much more to come as Infiniti performs the Dance of the Seven Veils on their new toy.

What we do know is that Infiniti consider this concept to ‘possibly’ signal the design future for Infiniti. So we assume that means they’re waiting to see what the car world says when they unveil it at Geneva before committing themselves. But it does look promising.

The promise comes from a mid-engined layout for the promise of some great dynamics and handling, and a sop to eco-sensibilities with a range-extender powertrain. Infiniti say that the style, content and mid-ship package are all new.

So far we don’t have a name for the new mid-engined Infiniti, but they’ve got a few weeks until they have to come up with something a little more interesting than the Infiniti Sports Car Concept.
