The Infiniti hasn’t revealed any engineering details.Like the Prototype 9, the 10 is running the powertrain from the latest Nissan Leaf, which includes a 40-kWh battery and a 147-horsepower motor. No words on specs either, but no matter—the 0 to 60 mph time of a car that never gets made isn’t exactly important.
One seat – obviously – mounted low on the flat floor, a four-point harness and brake/accelerator pedals.The steering wheel is a flat-bottomed item mounted on two carbon struts, though because this is an Infiniti isn’t actually connected to the front wheels, given the company’s use of steer-by-wire tech.
