Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid
The Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid is a compact and lightweight one-motor/two-clutch (Intelligent Dual Clutch Control) parallel hybrid system developed to provide the outstanding energy efficiency needed to deliver highly responsive acceleration, while also raising environmental performance. Thanks to the use of a powerful lithium-ion battery, the Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid exhibits linear acceleration response that out-performs some gasoline- engine vehicles.
