Infiniti has confirmed that it will unveil a brand new concept car at next month’s Geneva Motor Show but the only details released so far is that the concept will come with a custom Louis Vuitton luggage set. In the lead up to the concept’s unveiling, Infiniti design boss Shiro Nakamura was invited to one of the luxury label’s stores in Roppongi, Tokyo, where he was presented with one of the pieces from the luggage set.

For Louis Vuitton, the partnership with Infiniti is the latest in a long heritage of designing custom luggage for special vehicles and hopefully it will lead to more collaborative work between the two companies.

As for the actual concept, Infiniti states that it represents a celebration of the brand and its 20 years of history as a creator of sporty luxury vehicles. It is also described as an “exploration into the brand’s future”. The concept will make its official debut on March 3 at the Geneva event alongside the new G37 Convertible, which will be making its European debut.

    hmm... Louis Vuitton luggage set, and a global economic crisis & recession.. doesn't sound like the most advantageous combo...
