the INFINITI single-seat, electric prototype 10 is a new take on the classic speedster

unveiled for the first time at this year’s concours d’elegance, INFINITI’s prototype 10 is a single-seat, reimagined classic speedster, with a clean and forward-looking design. the car is a sleek update on prototype 9, the retro-looking speedster that INFINITI presented at pebble beach last year.

prototype 10 is a physical manifestation of the hong kong motor company‘s ambitious plans for electrified performance, who has pledged to electrify all of its new production cars from 2021 onwards. ‘the INFINITI prototype 10 echoes the layout and design of some of the most evocative car designs of all time, where power was celebrated through high-powered single-seat competition cars,’ mentions karim habibi, INFINITI’s executive design director, ‘our new concept speaks of an electrified future, something which is reflected in its form and details. it is appropriate that we found inspiration in an optimistic bygone era in which cars were characterized by the simple love of driving.’
