Infiniti unveiled its new Infiniti LE Concept, a near-production version of the performance luxury brand’s first zero emission luxury sedan.  Making its world debut during a press conference at the 2012 New York International Auto Show, the Infiniti LE Concept combines an advanced electric vehicle drivetrain and wireless charging system with signature Infiniti luxury style.  A production version of the LE Concept is expected to reach Infiniti showrooms in near-similar form within the next two years.
