Infiniti's EMERG-E Concept Is A Silent Supercar

Inifiniti just revealed its idea for the future of the sports car.
Dubbed the EMERG-E (yes, they used all caps), the twin engined electric car has the equivalent of 400 horsepower and will accelerate to 60 in just four seconds.
The battery will give the car a 30-mile range when it is fully charged.
But what if you want to go farther?
Luckily, like the Chevy Volt, the EMERG-E has a small three cylinder engine that will act as a generator to charge the batteries. The car will always be powered by the electric motor; the engine has no connection to the wheels.
The two seat car is sleek and has a design that is reminiscent of mid-engined supercars. We think it's quite handsome.
Right now, the Emerg-E (we're done with the caps) is just a concept. However, it is possible that a similar car could go into production sometime later this decade.
