I guess everybody needs a little glamour and luxury from time to time. There's no reason that alternative energy shouldn't get some...

BusinessWeek has a piece this week on the debut in Geneva of Nissan's Infiniti Essence - a 600 horsepower hybrid V6 sports car.

To celebrate 20 years as a brand Infiniti has produced a stunning concept car for the 2009 International Motor Show in Geneva. The Infiniti Essence is the world's most powerful Hybrid car with a total of 600 horsepower combined output from its V6 twin turbo and electric motor. The luxury sports car hybrid offers enormous power on the open road and zero emission driving in urban settings.

The car gets 30 miles per gallon. You can find more on it here.
