Amazing looking machine. Would love to see it with an ICE though.

A 'retro' machine from a company formed in 1989. Top kek.

This is such a weird reveal, but yet I'm intrigued. It looks cool but then it also defies logic considering that Infiniti has been around for only 3 decades.

 

[Obelisk]

This would be worth adding to a racing game.

 

[Corsa]

Hmm.
I have a sudden inspiration for my sons pinewood derby this year.

I mean, what makes this any different from a kit car based on some unnamed 1930's F1 chassis?

I want to hate this car so much, but it is so nice to look at.

I think it's cool that it's electric. It's an awesome blend of modern meets vintage. I really do hope it ends up as a DLC in GT sport too along with some other vintage Grand Prix cars, it'd be an interesting shootout.

I too think it's cool. Since it's not tearing apart a classic to stuff electric gubbins in (looking at you, Toyota), I've no problem with the old-meets-new approach. The company grille works too.

In terms of games, I wouldn't bet against it showing up in FM7. Forza introduced the Q50 Eau Rouge and Q60 Concept to the gaming world.

Looks fantastic, and so does the simplistic interior. I myself think the electric powertrain makes it even more attractive, but I've always liked electric cars. 👍

This is one of those occasions when manufacturers successfully create a modern interpretation of classic cars and get the styling right, unlike the DB Speedback GT, or, to quote an even worse example, the Growler E-Type.

A vintage racer with a modern twist...that modern twist being that it's modern and not at all vintage. Having said that, I think it's stunning; though it could use a bit of positive camber in front.

Surely the title's backwards... it's a modern racer with a vintage twist.

Not really, Renault (whose alliance is with Nissan ie Infiniti) were there at the beginning of the motor racing scene.

From infiniti, did not expect this. Would also love to see this in a racing game too, looks modern fancy if you ask me. I like it.
