Until next week at the Geneva Motor Show, more questions than answers remain about Infiniti’s Emerg-E extended-range electric plug-in sports car, but official images are at least available for broad hints.

The company has already said the Infiniti approach will serve up guilt-free greenness rolled into a scintillating package with track-ready performance.

Styling cues hint at various super cars, perhaps with some Italianesque elements mixed with Audi R8-like lines, with distinct Infiniti design signatures such as the bulbous grille, body curves and more to retain the family resemblance.

One question is how soon would Infiniti build such a car? The vehicle’s forerunner was the diesel-electric Essence concept revealed at Geneva in 2009 that Infiniti’s executives were alternately torn between desire to turn into reality mixed with reluctance for that “showpiece.”
