10. Paris Motor Show 2012: Infiniti Emerge E

Part of the Nissan brand, the Brit-engineered Emerg-E hopes to have you whistling around country roads one day in this plug-in hybrid that packs 402bhp and can hit 0-60 in 4.0 seconds and 0-130mph in a 30 second burst. Made from an aerodynamic, carbon-fibre skin and an aluminium chassis, the two-seater sports car weighs in at 1600kg and hosts a pair of electric motors, and a lithium ion battery pack, that will help you get 30 miles on the clock on a single electric charge.
