Infiniti Sells Essence Concept Sculptures
Published Friday, 21 January, 2011 by Blog Admin. Categories: News.
Infiniti is selling 300 copies of the Essence Concept sculpture. It's a resin casting inspired by the automaker's Essence concept car, which was unveiled last year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nissan's luxury division. The sculptures are numbered, limited editions and will be sold globally. There no plans for a production run so, now is your time to buy one.
Luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton, which also produced luggage for the Essence show vehicle, constructed a case for the first Essence Sculpture. The Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite case was hand-made at the company's workshop in France. The sculpture and case were on display at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Infiniti recently undertook a long-term effort to move up the luxury car ranks - selling collectible art is part of that program. The Essence Sculpture will run you around $300. If you want a personalized case, you'll have to order it though Louis Vuitton's special-orders workshop.
The actual Essence vehicle is a hybrid gasoline - electric car, containing Nissan's 158 bhp electric engine and a turbocharged 434 bhp V6.
