1 From this peak, a vertical surface drops down a tiny bit before swelling outward to cover the tire.
2 Shiro Nakamura's culturally relevant visual reference is nicely done, even if you don't recognize its significance.
3 This hard edge starts from nowhere, slices straight along the door, and ends at the C-pillar indent.
4 An arbitrary hard line lets the door bottom be inset from the nominal surface, but one must wonder why.
5 This indented surface behind the quarter glass is the concept's principal originality.
6 Notice that the hard line at the top of the indent breaks with the side glass profile at the rearmost point of the quarter window.
7 Another complexity: the painted area overhangs the lamp, with an undercut flowing forward to nothing.
8 Roof ribs run onto the rear deck as the negative C-pillar surface disappears.
9 This little shelf points toward the side hard line but doesn't connect visually.
10 The rear window is constrained by the ribs at the roof edge, hindering outward visibility.
11 Exhaust outlets are beautifully integrated into the graphic composition of the rear aspect.
12 There is a strange wiggle in the headlamp's upper edge, resulting in an indent in the fender.
13 The fender peak derives not from the grille corner but from a chamfered, flat section alongside the grille opening.
14 This external chrome band, recalling a 1950s Vignale Ferrari, sets off the plain grille, with a band at the bottom finishing the framing.
15 The big badge is set back from the leading edge of the opening by a fair amount and is reasonably discreet.
16 These bumper buttresses flow into a surface-change line that disappears below the headlamps.
17 A small negative section separates the fender peak and the surface over the tires.
18 Sensuous curves on the door panels and in the rest of the interior are pleasant and give the impression of opulence.
19 The monk's cowl cover over the instruments makes them easily accessible to the driver but not to anyone else. It is original and elegant.
20 The flat-bottom steering wheel conveys a sporty impression. And with 592 hp on tap, why not? If the Infiniti Essence was a real production car, it would be very fast.
21 Separation of driver and passenger spaces by color was used in the 1991 Chrysler 300 concept. It's still a good idea.
