The Infiniti Emerg-E was a concept sports car developed by Infiniti, the luxury division of Nissan, and unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It is a mid-engined two-seater built on the Lotus Evora platform and used the hybrid powertrain first shown in 2012 as the Lotus 414E concept. Two electric motors, one at each rear wheel, give a combined 402 bhp (300 kW) and acceleration to 60 mph in four seconds. A 30 mile electric-only range is extended by a small three-cylinder 1.2 litre petrol engine that recharges the lithium-ion battery pack, and the car can also be plugged in. It never reached production but ran as a working prototype at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The British government backed Technology Strategy Board part-funded it, and Nissan UK's Cranfield technical centre and British suppliers took part.
