Infiniti's Sexy-Looking Emerge-E Supercar Breaks Cover, See the First Official Photos



If you weren't content with the patent images of Infiniti's new supercar concept that we showed you earlier this month, you'll be happy to know that the first official pictures of the study…emerged on the internet today, less than two weeks before its public debut at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Salon.
We will admit that we weren't exactly wowed by the patent renderings, but our opinion change after we laid eyes on the real photos of Infiniti Emerg-E concept.
The Japanese premium brand's study is an impressive looking supercar with what we could even dare to describe as an Italian finesse in its styling. Of course, you'll find Infiniti's latest styling cues such as the pinched rear quarter window and the bulbous front grille, but it all works out nicely.
Infiniti has said that the Emerg-E will be propelled by a mid-mounted range-extender drivetrain comprising an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.
That's all we know for now, but with the Geneva show just around the corner, it's only a matter of days before Infiniti graces us with an official release detailing the concept model.
Another hat tip to Bruno!

18-wheeler Flips Over and Squashes Chevy Cruze, Driver Makes it Out Injured but Alive


A male driver of a rental Chevrolet Cruze was involved in what can only be described as a nightmare scenario for any road user when an 18-wheeler truck loaded with cardboard boxes flipped on its side and landed on top of the compact sedan. The accident took place in the northbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway in Texas in the late morning hours of Thursday.
The large rig also knocked over the concrete center barrier and hit another vehicle, a black Volkswagen Touareg, hurling it over the median and onto the other side of the road.
The man wedged under the truck's trailer was 49-year-old Gregory Neece, who despite the seriousness of the crash, made it out alive. Neece did suffer injuries to his back and neck but according to officials, he was doing better on Friday.
According to reports, the two passengers in the Touareg were not hurt.
Police are still investigating the accident, though officials suggested that the truck driver might have lost control of the vehicle due to a shift in the load he was carrying and because he may have been going too fast.
