Infiniti Emerg-E revealed in Geneva Motor Show, last March 2012

After the first appereance in Geneva last march, finally the upscale of Nissan devision car, Infiniti Emerg-E makes its road debut for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

This Hybrid car was piloted by Red Bull Formula One driver Mark Webber.

One of the minor exterior changes that has a big impact for the latest version of the Infiniti Emerg-E, is addition of front and rear spoiler.

“We added the spoiler onto the cars because we needed to balance the front and rear lift of the car,” said Jerry Hardcastle (Vice President of Vehicle Design and Development for the Nissan Group Technology Centre Europe). “The spoiler was therefore specifically designed to be purely functional as opposed to being added just for design purposes."
