Infiniti Emerg-e
concept Car by Infiniti/Nissan
The Infiniti Emerg-E is a concept sports car developed by the Infiniti division of Nissan and unveiled to the public at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
It is based on the Lotus Evora platform and the hybrid powertrain shown in 2012 as the Lotus 414E concept car. The Emerg-E has two electric motors, one powering each rear wheel, producing a total of 402 bhp (300 kW; 408 PS) with 738 lb⋅ft (1,001 N⋅m) of torque, and providing acceleration to 60 mph (97 km/h) in four seconds. The Emerg-E has a 30 mi (48.3 km) electric-only range, after which an onboard 47 bhp (35 kW; 48 PS) three-cylinder 1.2 L (1,200 cc) petrol engine recharges the lithium-ion battery pack. The car can also be plugged in to recharge.
The mid-engined two-seater sports car never reached production, but was shown as a working prototype at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Why this record matters
“Infiniti Emerg-e” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Infiniti, Emerg-e and concept provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12060740. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
