Pay no attention to that crashing sound coming from world economies.
The heart of the Essence is Nissan's venerable 3.7-liter V6 engine, fitted with twin turbochargers for the concept. The engine is rated at 434 hp.
Adding to that output is an integrated starter-generator, sandwiched between the engine and transmission, that adds 158 hp. The starter-generator propels the Essence on electric power at low speeds, drawing on a lithium-ion battery pack stored in the trunk.
yes please :)
