"The all-new Infiniti LE Concept is making its world debut at the 2012 New York Auto Show. Complementing the sleek Infiniti Emerg-E Concept hybrid range-extender shown at the recent Geneva Auto Show, Infiniti is following up with the zero emission LE Concept 4-door powered by a synchronous electric motor rated at 134 hp and 240 lb.-ft. of torque driving the front wheels. The range expected to be 100 miles.   Video window may take a few moments to load...          Tossing away the current trend of making EVs look high-tech or as ordinary cars, Infiniti decides being green should also be beautiful and sexy. And the new LE Concept definitely fits the bill. From the front of the car, along the sides and to the back, the LE shows off its curvaceous fenders accentuated by a strong shoulder line that runs the length of the car. Being an EV, efficiency is definitely a priority. And the LE&amp;#039;s 0.25 drag coefficient is achieved thanks in part to details such as the carefully designed front chin spoiler and the high rear deck and lip spoiler.        Infiniti LE Concept    Inside the LE Concept, modern technology such as the ability to provide 24-hour concierge service, pre-heat or pre-cool the vehicle at set times, synchronize your calendar or search for local charging stations are all integrated into the center stack nestled within the sweeping dashboard. The cabin&amp;#039;s open atmosphere matches well with its seat and door trim design inspired by the &amp;quot;Eriashi&amp;quot; (collar) of a Japanese kimono.        Infiniti LE Concept    The Infiniti LE Concept is about the size of the current G sedan. The suspension is configured with MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear. Steering is speed-sensitive and electrically powered. The 134-horsepower electric motor powers the front wheels with energy drawn from the laminated 24-kWh lithium-ion battery pack of 192 cells housed under the cabin floor. Charging the battery can be done via a conventional port, or through a wireless inductive system located under the rear diffuser.        Infiniti LE Concept    The wireless charging system works by a primary coil imbedded in the ground (or in your garage floor) that creates a magnetic field that excites the secondary coil onboard the LE Concept, thus creates the electrical current to charge the batteries. According to Infiniti, this non-contact high-frequency charging can be controlled onboard or through your smartphone, and is safe for adults and children, and even for your pet Fido. And thanks to Infiniti&amp;#039;s Intelligence Park Assist, the LE Concept can guide the car into proper position over the charging coils automatically.   Infiniti tells us that the LE Concept is intended for production, and we should expect to see it in the showrooms in the next two years.
