Essence, a s30 throwback?

I'm sorry, but at first glance the Infinity reminded me something driven by the Ambiguously Gay Duo. A bit too over-the-top with the styling that strays into the fabulous (and the name "essence" sounds like a fragrance, not a car IMO).

i agree on the rear being ridiculous.

 

i dont think its an s13 throwback though. i feel that design is a "generic" sports car platform. lots of concepts and cars in production have a similar shape. there was an episode of top gear where they tested what they called the "chinese rolls royce," the company that makes that car makes a sports car that looks a lot like that to me. i cant remember at all what the manufacturer was and google searches brought up nothing.

The "Japanese Rolls Royce" you mentioned is the Mitsuoka Galue.

But I think you're actually referring to the Mitsuoka Orochi, another car he reviewed in that segment.

Either way, both cars are in Top Gear Series/Season 11, Episode 6, about 1:16 into it.

 

Yes, I have no life...
