Infiniti unveiled its stunning a new single-seat electric
speedster car at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on
Thursday in Monterey, California.
According to the Hong Kong-based luxury car maker, Prototype 10
represents a bridge between early Californian speedster vehicles
of the past and the new electric sports cars of the future.
The Prototype 10 is a global effort involving Infiniti’s Japanese
design center, digital design teams in the UK, and those who
hand-crafted the car in San Diego, California.

Prototype 10 is designed as a “monoposto” or single-seat
speedster, with a striking geometric form most evident in the
90-degree accord between the bodywork and the fin just behind the
driver’s head. It’s a look inspired by classic single-seat grand
prix race cars.
The Prototype 10 is also defined by the elegant geometry found
throughout the car. From the straight-lines that define the grill
and smooth side strakes that dip into the rear arches to the
angular cooling ducts and triangular rear light formed with a
razor-sharp touch. No detail has been left untouched
here.

For Infiniti’s consumers, the concept’s most important feature
has to be its electric powertrain.
“A daring speedster is the perfect study for our designers to
explore an electrified future and ignite such
excitement,” company President Roland Krueger said in a
statement.
According to Infiniti, every one of its all-new models will
feature electric powertrain technology in some form starting
in 2021. That means all brand-new Infiniti’s introduced after
that year will either be a battery electric or a series
hybrid.
