Infiniti Q80 Inspiration
You won't ever be able to pick one up from your local dealer, but with any luck, at least some of the tech found in the Infiniti Q80 Inspiration will make it into production models. At the top of the list is the concept's hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 450hp 3.0L twin turbocharged V6 with a 100hp electric motor to deliver great fuel economy and extra power when you need it. There's also a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and an intelligent drive system that can switch between rear- and all-wheel drive as needed. Head-up displays for both the driver and passenger keep important info a glance away, suicide doors in the rear make for easy entry and exit, and a wide, long, curvy design provides plenty of sex appeal. Last but certainly not least, an autonomous drive system that employs cameras, lasers, and sensors keeps the car driving without your input, and is available at the push of a button, making rush hour traffic no more than a minor inconvenience.
