The Infiniti Emerg-E is a concept sports car developed by the Infiniti division of Nissan Motors and unveiled to the public at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.[1]

It is based on the Lotus Evora platform and the hybrid powertrain shown in 2012 as the Lotus 414E concept car.[2] 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.[3]

The project was part-funded by the British government sponsored Technology Strategy Board,[4] and involved Nissan UK's Cranfield technical centre and other British suppliers including Lola, Batteries by Castlet Ltd (Formally Amberjac Projects) and Xtrac transmissions.
