(December 12, 2010) Need a gift idea for the car buff who has everything? Infiniti has a suggestion.

Infiniti has announced the production of a Limited Edition Collector’s “Essence Sculpture,” which arrives just in time for the holidays. Available through Infiniti’s online merchandise center, the beautifully crafted artwork was inspired by the stunning Infiniti Essence concept car, which was unveiled last year in celebration of the automaker’s 20th anniversary.

Made from solid resin and penned by Essence’s original vehicle designer under the supervision of Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura, the sculpture will be restricted to 300 individually numbered units worldwide. No second production run will be made.

Louis Vuitton, which created bespoke luggage for the actual Essence concept car, has crafted a carrying case for the very first Essence Sculpture. The second collaboration with the world leader in luxury epitomizes Infiniti’s quest for ultimate luxury and savoir-faire. For this special order, Louis Vuitton craftsmen designed an original Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite case to serve as a high-quality transport and presentation.

It was handcrafted in Louis Vuitton’s historic workshop in Asnieres, France, where all special orders are made. The “Essence Sculpture,” nestled in its Louis Vuitton case, had its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

How much? Just $300 plus shipping. Check it out at Infiniti Lifestyle.
