Infiniti President Johan de Nysschen has revealed some new details about the company’s upcoming flagship.

Speaking to Auto Express, de Nysschen said “An Infiniti halo car is important for our future. It should have a strong emotional character and is likely to be a powerful and exciting coupe.” While the model isn’t due for several years, the executive says he wants to see a production version of the Essence concept by the end of the decade.

In related news, Infiniti executive design director Alfonso Albaisa told the magazine the company is working on eight future models and two of them will be brand new additions to the lineup. He declined to go into specifics but hinted “Sharing with Mercedes allows us to explore much more than before like large sedans with super horsepower.”
