Infiniti Hybrid Sports Car
Growing tired of lagging behind its rivals in the increasingly competitive luxury wars, Infiniti is getting serious about a number of things: the European market, for one, sports cars, for another, and finally, alternative propulsion. And based on those drives, the premium Nissan division is preparing to unveil a new hybrid sports car concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show this March.
Very little in the way of details have been released as part of the announcement, with the press release indicating only that the concept will be a "highly advanced, range-extending electric sports car concept." Check out the aforementioned release after the jump, but not before you check out the pair of teaser shots which we've placed in the gallery for your consideration.

Infiniti has announced that its upcoming plug-in hybrid sports car concept will be called the Emerge-E.
Using a gasoline range-extended to add power and range to an electric powertrain, this will be the first such system used in an Infiniti product. The “advanced sports car concept” will also be the first Infiniti to use a mid-engine powertrain configuration.
Few details are yet known about the brand’s new flagship performance vehicle but Infiniti is promising a zero emissions mode as well as “vivid performance.”
Watch the latest video teaser for the Emerge-E below:
