Infiniti is finally ready to make the jump into electric vehicles and the new Infiniti Prototype 10 is perhaps the best example of how the company aims to push the boundaries of electric vehicles. Taking design cues from retro roadsters, this new electric speedster concept is meant to exemplify the automaker's intentions of electrifying its entire roster of vehicles.
Based on the iconic silhouettes of retro racing convertibles, the Infiniti Prototype 10 sports a low, single-seat cockpit, dubbed "the bathtub" by the car's designers. The sleek metal exterior is also meant to harken back to this retro era while presenting a modern interpretation of old-school sci-fi visions of the future. Internal specs of the Infiniti Prototype 10 have yet to be released but Infiniti has hinted at the impressive performance of this vehicle.
