Essence Infiniti Review | Specifications


Overview of vehicles including the engine very similar to the Nissan GT-R, paddle shifters, exotic Louis Vuitton trunk for luggage, and ability to be carried away with nearly 600 horsepower of the total electric hybrid - the gasoline engine. The combination of luxury and performance reminds me of the Bugatti Veyron in many ways, but more efficient, cost effective, and can actually work here in the United States.

To properly kick off party for the essence of the Infiniti, there is a tour starting in Dallas, Texas and later expanded in key cities throughout the east coast. At this event, there will be special guests, key personnel, dealers, VIP, and of course the Essence Infiniti concept vehicle. There will be a special photo shoot and interviews are available for those looking for additional information. Parade is the main manufacturer of affordable luxury meets exotic, Infiniti is sure to capture the essence of the heart in every city it visits.

Essence Infiniti specifications
  • Front engine, rear wheel drive
  • Paddle Shift automated manual transmission
  • Turbocharged V6 hybrid electric engines
  • 592 horsepower combined (electric / petrol)
  • 500 ft. lbs. of torque
  • Two-door, two seater coupe

The 2010 Lincoln MKS


Love the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution but looking for a little more refinement and class? Until now, Mitsubishi offered only two variants of the Lancer Evolution sedan including the GSR and MR. Well, meet the new 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring, the range topping Evo with a $40,990 price-tag that moves the hot Mitsubishi sedan into luxury car territory.

The two biggest differences you’ll notice between the GSR, MR and the MR Touring trim-levels are the MR Touring’s standard power glass sunroof and the standard lip spoiler. Power still comes from the 2.0L DOHC MIVEC turbocharged engine making 291-hp with a maximum torque of 300 lb-ft. All that is sent to the wheels through a 6-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission with magnesium steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring also gets heated leather RECARO front sports seats and heated side mirrors.

Add a $1,999 navigation system package and other accessories (see the list after the jump) and your fully-loaded 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring can hit a whopping price-tag of $52,728.














Here at Gear Patrol’s New York branch, we do our fair share of golfing, no thanks to the tyrannical tee-time scheduling of Patrick Tuttle. The Land Rover we keep parked in midtown Manhattan does a fine job soldiering us to each week’s round. Our only hurdles being either poor traffic conditions or my refusal to heed the exact distances the Garmin GPS (and passengers) are screaming at me. “Turn left in 50 yards” isn’t as easy a command as it seems when entering the hell that is the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge (see map after the jump).

Luckily, one of the perks of manning Gear Patrol is getting the chance to test things out in real world environments, and that’s exactly what Lincoln wanted us to do with the near $50,000 Red Candy 2010 Lincoln MKS. We, in typical GP fashion, took it out for a round of golf and put it through its paces in the (c)armageddon we fondly call New York, New York.

Originally the term Land Rover referred to one specific vehicle (see Land Rover Series), a pioneering civilian all-terrain utility vehicle launched on 30 April 1948, at the Amsterdam Motor Show, but was later used as a brand for several distinct models, all capable of four-wheel drive.
