Days of thunder future past? Infiniti\u2019s newest race car prototype is actually inspired by vintage race vehicles of the 1940s, with a torpedo-style sleek cylindrical body and offset wheels at the end of extended axes. The drivetrain of the so-called \u2018Prototype 9,\u2019 however, is all 2017: It\u2019s an electric motor, combined with a 30 kWh battery pack.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I like about this car: It\u2019s very cool looking. Also it has the equivalent of 148 hp and 236 lb ft of torque, with a top speed of 105 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds. It can run for 20 minutes of aggressive track racing on that battery pack with a full charge, and the hammer-head look of the front end with the exaggerated grill is a damn nice piece of industrial design.<\/p>\n

    Nissan\u2019s motor department built the engine, which is a prototype not yet used on any kind of production car. It seems mostly made for showing off at the super-fancy Concours D\u2019Elegance, which is some kind of highfalutin car show at Pebble Beach golf course.<\/p>\n

    Another interesting thing about the Prototype 9 is that it uses steel throughout, from frame to body panels. This is again more of a throwback, especially for an EV, since most modern electric cars favor lighter materials like aluminum to help lower overall body weight and aim for more range.<\/p>\n

    The car is also completely silent, which is unusual for a race car but not for an EV. Infinity says its design was inspired by Japanese archers, and the silent, speedy arrows that they let loose from their bows.<\/p>\n
