Prototype 9 by INFINITI

This is the Infiniti Prototype 9, a design concept due to be shown this week at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance near Monterey, California. But under the vintage-looking clothes of the Prototype 9, lies the powertrain from the 2018 Nissan Leaf. A 148-horsepower electric motor, with 236 pound-feet of torque, and a 30kWh battery, powers the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission, according to Infiniti. Interestingly enough, that sounds a lot like the electric motor that’s set to power the front wheels of the new Leaf, based on vehicle specifications that were leaked last week. Therefore in this Infiniti design project, it’s billed as a “next-generation EV powertrain.”
