Infiniti has long beena by-word for athleticism, luxury and durability in the US anddifferentiates itself from its Japanese compatriot Lexus, by offering agood dose more sportiness and youthfulness. Expect the EuropeanInfinitis to trade heavily on those qualities as Infiniti firmlybelieve BMW is their closest rival. Consumer tests in the US confirmthat many Infiniti products are the equal if not superior product whencompared to the Germans.
The G37 coupe was release in the US last year and builds from its G35coupe predecessor’s sublime styling, taught handling and prodigiouspower and acceleration. For Europe, like in its sedan counterpart, the3.7L VQ37VHR V6 is down in numbers from the US spec version inproducing only 310ps (ps reads slightly more than a hp). There may be anumber of reasons for the detune including emissions improvements, NVHtuning or driveability. Big news for the European spec G coupe is theintroduction of a new 7 speed automatic transmission replacing theadmittedly very good 5 speed unit. The 7 speeder will continue to useAdaptive Shift Control (ASC) allowing a downshift throttle blips. Muchwork has been completed on the US spec car to adapt it for Europeantastes. The cars chassis will have been refined to improve high speedhandling due to the higher speeds experienced on some of Europe’sroads.
All versions of G37 Coupe come with Electronic Stability Program (ESP),while a Viscous Limited Slip Differential (VLSD) is included as part ofthe Sport package.
The interior utilises a traditional “Washi” theme to enhance Infiniti’sJapanese origins. Some of the switchgear and materials used in theinterior will have been upgraded to cope with the more discerningEuropean customer. Expect a long list of standard equipment and superbdealer service to complete this true luxury brand alternative.
