DUBAI: Japanese automobile company INFINITI, a luxury division of Nissan, showcased their first electrical vehicle (EV) concept in an artful event held alongside Tokyo Bay.

The concept, titled Vision Qe, is inspired by three Japanese philosophies. The EV’s design form, titled Artistry in Motion, has a sense of luxury and extraordinariness, inspired by “Kabuku,” a dynamic body inspired by “Sho,” and an exquisite attention to detail that brings out its sophistication inspired by “Sui.”

The sleek sedan EV will feature large geometrically patterned wheels inspired by the wound coil of an electric motor. The front of the car will include a three-dimensional brand emblem with slender headlights.

The concept is finished with a deep blue coat that enriches the car’s gold highlights, with colors shifting according to the environment. The blue and gold combination reflects INFINIT’s rich visual idenity. 

“As we began to follow the inspiration around art in motion, we rediscovered the Japanese expression of Sho, an expression of soaring with grace and power. Our designers began creating forms that, to me, looked like abstractions of a bird in flight. Powerful, almost motionless, but generating such speed,” said Alfonso Albaisa, senior vice president for global design. “The sleek, low profile, paired with tapered yet muscular rear fenders, express effortless motion and powerful purpose.”

The concept can be viewed at INFINITI’s headquarters in Yokohama.
