Infiniti Emerg-E Concept Patent Drawings Leaked
Here’s what we know for sure: Infiniti is bringing a concept it calls the Emerge-E to next month’s Geneva Motor Show. It will use a mid-engine layout, and it will be powered by a range-extended electric drivetrain.

Here’s what we know for sure: Infiniti is bringing a concept it calls the Emerge-E to next month’s Geneva Motor Show. It will use a mid-engine layout, and it will be powered by a range-extended electric drivetrain.
As if launching an extended-range electric performance car wasn’t significant enough, Infiniti vice president Andy Palmer says that the car will also be the first to highlight Infiniti’s new styling direction.
Thanks to French website Automoto, who stumbled on Infiniti’s patent renderings of the Emerge-E, we now know what that design language will look like. There are familiar elements, like the wave grille and muscular front fenders, but the overall design is far bolder than anything we’ve seen from Infiniti in the past--short of the concept world.
It isn’t known if the Emerg-E will be rear-drive or all-wheel-drive, nor are there any guesses on range or power output. Infiniti has also stated that it wants a halo car, and one possible direction would be to build such a statement piece as an electric vehicle. The other route, of course, is to base it on the Nissan GT-R.
We suspect that Infiniti will pencil in some of the details on the Emerg-E at Geneva, but we’d be very surprised if the automaker referred to the car as anything other than a concept. We’ll update you on anything we learn as part of our comprehensive Geneva Motor Show coverage.
