According to Infiniti's European boss, Fintan Knight, says the supercar is still in the evaluation process, but Autocar claims it "has been penciled in for launch in 2017-2018. "We are still evaluating the layout," Knight said. "It is still on the table for a decision. The same goes for the powertrain."

Already previewed by the Essence and Emerg-e in terms of design, the Infiniti supercar is likely to be developed with the of the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One team. Also, the vehicle could be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter V6 gasoline/hybrid powertrain, similar to the ones engineered for the 2014 F1 season, when FIA's new engine regulations come into force.
