Infiniti Prototype 10 Single Seater Concept EV Revealed At Pebble Beach

Infiniti has revealed the Prototype 10 for the first time at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. According to the company, from 2021, every Infiniti model will be electrified and will feature an electric drivetrain technology to enhance its performance. This is the second time that Infiniti has unveiled a concept at Pebble Beach after Prototype 9 concept at last year's Concours d'Elegance. The company says that the Prototype 10 induces the spirit of early Californian speedsters, and is inspired by some of the most iconic car designs of all time. The new concept is forward-looking in terms of its aesthetics and is an evolution of the form language first seen in the Infiniti Q Inspiration and Prototype 9.

As mentioned earlier, the Prototype 10 is inspired Q Inspiration Concept and has clear, concise lines with confident proportions. The front of the car features a prominent Infiniti badge into the bodywork, with distinct creases running over the front fenders and up the centre of the hood. The slashes at the base of the hood house the ultra-thin headlights with contrasting silver bodywork and a black chin spoiler at the base of the bumper.

The cockpit of the Prototype 10 is clean with flowing surfaces divided by geometric lines. The hood flows seamlessly into the open-air cabin, drawing attention to the driver's seat and the large electric motor cooling ducts. The speedster layout encouraged Infiniti's designers to create a monoposto cockpit, with attention focused solely on the driver. Fully visible from outside the car, the pure, minimalist cockpit captures the essence of Infiniti's driver-focused approach. The cockpit design is inspired by single-seat formula race cars, placing the driver fully in-control with an unhindered view of the road ahead, with ready access to ergonomic controls, and with minimal distraction.
