Tony, I think the Utec's automatically take over at about 2500-3000 rpm's. That was about where mine would kick in, when I had one. I would double check with Corr.

Not sure if you are just going to Ibiza to sighsee or what. If you like any form of electronic dance music (trance, breaks, d&b, "techno", house, etc.) you will love Ibiza. A huge party island with some of the world's best clubs. It's like a big rave that goes on through the night, then everyone goes and sits on the beach all day listening to chill music.

When exactly are you going?

I was merely pointing out the facts.

Aside, my damn head unit shipped from California last week, but UPS isn't giving me any information on tracking. All it says is Departure Scan on the 6th. I guess it's just coming straight to LA?

Thats an awesome time to go. If the schedule is anything like it has been in 07 and 08, that week will be loaded. Not sure what's all scheduled so far, but def try to catch Carl *** @ Space on the 14th.

The Infiniti Essence Concept, introduced at Geneva 2009, is unlike most concept cars in that it is presented with Louis Vuitton luggage matched to the new supercar that is custom fit inside the rear hatch. The Infiniti Essence uses a similar engine to the GT-R at its heart, but adds a newly-developed Nissan corporate electric motor to produce an extra 158 horsepower.

Far from a dressed up GT-R, the Infiniti Essence is hands down the most attractive car to ever come from Nissan, and arguably the most attractive Japanese car in history, concept or not. The instantly iconic design pulls elements from the GT-R and Infiniti's own G37 Coupe, though resembles nothing on the market today.

There are hints of the Fisker Karma in the Essence's front end, though the Essence Concept is infinitely more precisely excecuted than the Karma.

With a gasoline and electric combined output of 592 horsepower, the Essence dwarfs even the Nissan GT-R in raw power. This is no track day car though, at a body length of 4720 mm the Essence is as long as a Rolls Royce and likely nearly as heavy.

In official Essence press materials released to coincide with Geneva 2009, Infiniti is cryptic about production plans for an Infiniti model based on the Essence. At one point they are emphatic about the Essence's impact on the luxury brand's future, calling it "not is merely an indulgent birthday present from Infiniti to itself."

Later in the same press release, things are made more complicated when Infiniti says the Essence "isn't a teaser for a new model." One point is clear: the hybrid powertrain first employed in the Essence is bound for future Nissan/Infiniti hybrid cars, something the brand sorely needs as it seeks to compete with its Japanese counterparts. The Nissan Altima hybrid has not sold well, and cannot stack up to newer models from Toyota and Honda in the efficiency department.

Call it technology showcase, design trendsetter, or whatever you will, the Infiniti Essence Concept is knock-out gorgeous. It is no accident that a Japanese halo concept car makes its debut at Geneva, as Infiniti is primed and ready to bring its thrilling product line to the European market.
