Infiniti
Etherea
At
the 2011 Geneva Motor Show Infiniti unveiled a compact luxury car concept
called the Etherea. The Etherea concept is designed to provide a glimpse of how
a future entry-level Infiniti could look.
The
Etherea concept was designed under the guidance of Shiro Nakamura, Infiniti's
Senior Vice President of Design. The vehicle combines various features from
coupe's, sedan's and hatchback's to create a fairly unique overall package.
At
4.4m long the Infiniti Etherea is compact, but thanks to a clever mechanical
layout and innovative doors the interior is relatively spacious and practical.
Among
some of the more notable design features of the Etherea are high-tech
variations of traditional Japanese materials and finishes, and several styling
cues which will be present on future production models - including the
distinctive crescent-shaped C-pillar first seen on the Infiniti Essence
concept.
