2011 Infiniti Etherea<\/h1>\n

Making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show today, the Infiniti ETHEREA Concept re-imagines the compact luxury car for a discerning new generation of younger buyers, while providing a glimpse of a future European Infiniti line-up where the brand\u2019s convention-defying distinctiveness reaches into the compact class for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cETHEREA is about a new type of luxury,\u201d said Toru Saito, Corporate Vice President and Leader of the Global Infiniti Business Unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is for younger buyers who do not want a smaller version of a typically conservative and traditional luxury car. It is for people who want a car that defines who they are, not who their parents were.\u201d<\/p>\n

Encapsulating everything that Infiniti stands for \u2013 including no-compromise hybrid power and maximum driving pleasure \u2013 in a car 4.4m long, ETHEREA proposes a bold new approach to the premium compact segment. Its dynamic character and highly sculptural, near mono-volume form provide a silhouette unlike anything currently in the class.<\/p>\n

\u201cETHEREA is completely different from current luxury compact cars,\u201d said Senior Vice President of Design, Shiro Nakamura. \u201cThat is appropriate for a new generation of drivers who think of themselves as different.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an exploration into what a future entry-level Infiniti may be like, ETHEREA is highly significant and a breakthrough in what Infiniti thinks about itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Francois Bancon, General Manager of Exploratory and Advanced Product, said: \u201cWe think the market \u2013 and buyers of compact cars \u2013 is ready for a car like this, especially in Europe. As a vehicle to single out its owner as progressive, self confident and a little off the beaten path, ETHEREA fits very well with what Infiniti is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elegant profile<\/h4>\n

Designed in Japan under the direction of Shiro Nakamura, ETHEREA is more coup\u00e9 than hatchback in inspiration, with many Infiniti flourishes first seen on the Essence concept supercar. However, ETHEREA\u2019s elegant profile is not at the expense of practicality. Despite appearances, ETHEREA boasts a large lift-up tailgate.<\/p>\n

Utlising an in-house platform developed for use by Infiniti, the long wheelbase and minimal overhangs guarantee characteristic Infiniti visual poise and sporting appeal. The bonnet may not be as long as that of rear-drive Infinitis, but the proportions are just as finely judged and the overall look just as balanced, with the unique crescent C-pillar offering a dynamic, and very distinctive, Infiniti signature.<\/p>\n

The spacious four-seat cabin offers all the luxury that Infiniti owners expect plus unrivalled ease of access and egress, boosted by an H-point which is higher than that of the average compact luxury car. Four wide opening doors, rear-hinged at the back, and an absence of B-pillar offer an unprecedented feeling of openness.<\/p>\n

Familiar Infiniti design language has evolved to meet the challenge of the concept car. The headlights, for example, define the Infiniti \u201cface\u201d more clearly than ever. With a subtly curving shape, the lamps incorporate daytime running lights formed out of a crescent of LEDs. Going forward, the new lights are destined to become a familiar Infiniti characteristic.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther elements of exterior design and interior craftsmanship are set to have an important influence on future production models,\u201d said Shiro Nakamura.<\/p>\n

DETAIL<\/h4>\n

Project leader and exterior designer, Giichi Endo, says ETHEREA can be summed up as a \u201cfour-door coup\u00e9 with five-door practicality \u2013 a hatchback that doesn\u2019t look like a hatchback.\u201d Key was managing the new front-wheel drive architecture \u2013 all very different from the rear-drive FM platform that Infiniti designers are used to working with \u2013 to provide the traditional Infiniti \u201cseductive lustre\u201d to the design while delivering the interior roominess crucial for a car in the 4.4m class.<\/p>\n

Wide opening doors, the rear doors hinged at the back, and no B pillar were central to the idea of being able to make the cabin as open and welcoming as possible. Access is further eased by the car\u2019s height. ETHEREA is not a crossover but with a driver H (hip) point higher than in a regular compact car, it does hint at the easy access and natural driving position that distinguish an Infiniti such as the FX. The designers have dubbed the slightly elevated body style the \u201cLift-up\u201d.<\/p>\n

The front of ETHEREA offers an unmistakable impression of solidity. In a design that instantly links it to the rest of the Infiniti family, the high bonnet line is fronted by a deep grille. An updated version of Infiniti\u2019s familiar double arch design, the grille\u2019s translucent mesh finish with illumination is both entirely functional and highly artistic.<\/p>\n

Shiro Nakamura says, in profile there is a suggestion of a mono-volume design \u2013very different from current contenders in the compact luxury segment.<\/p>\n

The design highlight for Nakamura, however, is the area around the base of the A pillar \u2013 as he says, one of the most complex areas for a designer to get right in any car. In ETHEREA, this area is executed in a style unlike that of any other car \u2013 apart from Essence, which again provides the inspiration. Key to making it work is the front fender whose exaggerated length extends to the A-pillar in a highly sculptural coming together of planes. A small quarter window in the A-pillar guarantees a clear view out. It all makes for a contemporary and innovative design that injects energy into the whole car.<\/p>\n

Comfort and space<\/h4>\n

Just as the front-wheel drive platform presents new design opportunities for an Infiniti outside, so too does it allow a bold new approach in the cabin. With its flat floor and welcoming openness, ETHEREA\u2019s interior is designed for comfort and space while offering the luxury and craftsmanship Infiniti buyers expect. As Francois Bancon says, \u201cYour first premium luxury car experience should feel like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The B-pillar-less design and opposing doors opens up the cabin and highlights its easy access and excellent roominess. With no transmission tunnel and a flat floor, the welcoming openness of ETHEREA\u2019s cabin extends throughout the car, with only elegantly slender consoles between the four seats to act as armrests and house ancillary controls.<\/p>\n

Like any Infiniti the driving position is sporting. The control layout is very driver centric, though not in a way that excludes passengers. Here is a concept where the luxury and sportiness can be shared by all. For example, the centre of the dashboard features twin screens, both as easily accessible to the front seat passenger as the driver. The lower, nearer display is a touch-screen for control of functions such as climate control and entertainment, while the screen further away is used purely to display information.<\/p>\n

Craftsmanship<\/h4>\n

Craftsmanship<\/h4>\n

\u201cHamon\u201d is the Japanese word for the dashboard dials. It refers to the ripples on a pond that radiate outward when a pebble is thrown into the water. In the same way, the dials radiate outward from the central tachometer. It is an elegant, as well as highly ergonomic, solution.<\/p>\n

Harmonious design and materials are central to ETHEREA\u2019s interior, just as they are to any Infiniti. Features making their debut on ETHEREA include Kumihimo, the kimono-inspired piping on the seats, and Inuyarai, the striking vertical strips on the inside of the doors. ETHEREA also debuts Infiniti\u2019s newest trim, a version of the parchment paper-style finish known in Japanese as Washi. The new finish is called Kasane-Washi and introduces a new way of layering the paper, enhancing its texture. The craftsmanship in ETHEREA is inspired by Japanese culture and re-interpreted through leading-edge technologies.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h4>\n

Conclusion<\/h4>\n

As an exploration of a future entry-level Infiniti production model, ETHEREA breaks free of existing market segments, while showing that Infiniti, with the help of its Alliance partners, is serious about competing in both the compact luxury class and in Europe.<\/p>\n

Francois Bancon said: \u201cETHEREA represents a redefinition, not a revolution \u2013 a car for buyers whose idea of luxury is very different from the stereotypes. ETHEREA is not a stereotype. It is a little bit borderline. It is an expression of identity and personality. It adds new values, as well as conveying existing ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than anything it is not just another luxury compact car.\u201d<\/p>\n

He's on a first-name basis with his local Porsche dealership staff and considers the Porsche 911 to be his spirit animal. Ask him about the weather, and he'll tell you how the Porsche 911 handles in the rain. Mention your vacation plans, and he'll explain the best scenic routes to drive a Porsche. In short, Pete's life is a high-speed adventure with Porsche as the co-pilot.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.nickdellis.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.dellis.3","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dellisn\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/1nickdellis\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/caradmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
