Description: Best Concept Cars At Detroit Auto Show 2019: The Infiniti QX,Nissan IMs andthe Lexus LC Convertible are among the best cars Infinity QX Inspiration The all-electric SUV’s cab-forward exterior is sharply influenced by Japanese origami, aggressively creased across angled panels. Squint, and the QX Inspiration’s profile can evoke the the profile of a patient muscular grey heron leaning to strike its prey. Open eyes wide and it’s difficult to ignore the concept’s enormous 22-inch wheels and a grill-less fascia (without a combustion engine, the grill becomes an anachronistic detail). Infiniti executive design director Karim Habib cites negative space as key to this new design language: “It’s the empty space between the edges that often carries the loudest message,” notes Habib. “With the QX Inspiration concept, we were inspired by the Japanese concept of Ma, a focus on the lines and the empty space in between. What is happening in that space between the lines – the free, natural flow of surfaces – is truly expressive. It’s the empty space between the edges that often carries the loudest message.” For now the Infiniti QX Inspiration stands as a one-off concept intended to showcase the brand’s most idealistic aesthetic and technological next-generation intentions. But don’t be surprised to see more than bits and pieces of this electrified prototype sports ute’s vision of the concept of Ma permeate across Infiniti’s vehicles as they forge toward an electric future. Nissan IMs The electric configuration allowed the designers to give free rein to their imagination for the modulation of the cabin. In front of the driver is a futuristic dashboard with huge screens. We also note the absence of pillars B on the car that advances suicide doors to facilitate entry and exit. We also note that the IMs seems a little high on the paw. Nissan has also presented it as a raised sedan. Mechanically, it uses two electric motors that deploy power equivalent to 483 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. This force is distributed to all four wheels. An impressive battery of 115 kWh allows the racing car a freedom of 380 miles, or 612 kilometers. Conceptually, this car is also ready for autonomous driving. When a human guides it, its cabin can be arranged more conventionally. In automated mode, the front seats can be rotated to allow, for example, a meeting. The driver can even relax in his first-class chair in the back. Of course, do not expect to see this product soon on our roads. However, some elements of its technology may well reach us around 2022. That year, if Nissan respects the promises it has held, seven electrified vehicles will be part of its alignment. Lexus LC Convertible Lexus has not given up the cabriolet despite the mixed success of the SC430 and IS 250 C. This automobile genre, it should be remembered, helps promote the brand image and support the buoyancy of manufacturers. Lexus has chosen the United States, one of the leading convertible markets, and the Detroit auto show, which opens its doors this week to the public, to showcase its future model. Concealed under the envelope of a concept car, the new Lexus convertible was developed around the LC coupe marketed in the course of the year 2017. Despite the removal of the roof, the convertible retains the audacity of the coupe based on a hourglass-shaped grille and serrated volumes. Still based on the GA-L platform (Global Architecture Luxe) shared with the high-end models of the luxury brand of Toyota, the LC Cabriolet style study has dimensions identical to those of the coupe (4.77 m). The engineers kept both rear seats but, as on the coupe, they are really symbolic and intended for young children At this point, the technical information has not been unveiled but the LC convertible should rely on the program of the coupe and offer the choice between the 5-liter V8 477 horsepower and hybrid V6. Delivering a cumulative power of 359 horsepower, this model would be the hybrid cabriolet on the market. With its positioning and price, the LC convertible will compete with the BMW 8 Series convertible. The Japanese convertible should arrive on the market before the end of the decade.
