About the 2013 INFINITI M
For 2013, the INFINITI M once again sets the bar high for mid-size performance luxury sedans.  As INFINITI's halo sedan, the INFINITI M embraces the essence of all things INFINITI – style, performance, luxury, craftsmanship and technology. 

Both the M37 and M56 models are offered with rear-wheel drive or INFINITI's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system.  The M37 features a 330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine, while the M56 offers a 420-horsepower 5.6-liter V8.  Both engines feature INFINITI's advanced VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) system and all models are equipped with a standard 7-speed automatic transmission.

At the core of the INFINITI M Hybrid is the advanced INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid™ system – a one-motor, two-clutch parallel hybrid system – that delivers the performance expected from a luxury sports sedan with the fuel efficiency of a compact car.  Precise, high-speed motor control technology, enabled by the powerful Lithium-ion battery, allows power to be delivered directly to the 7-speed automatic transmission.  The INFINITI M Hybrid's exhilarating driving performance also greatly benefits from use of INFINITI's proven 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, which paired with the 50 kW electric motor, provides a hybrid system net power of 360 horsepower.  Torque figures are equally impressive, with the V6's 258 lb-ft of toque combining with the electric motor's immediately available 199 lb-ft of torque to provide strong performance.

The 2013 INFINITI M remains a showcase for INFINITI's advanced, user-focused technologies, including an INFINITI Drive Mode Selector, a four-mode driver-selectable control of throttle and transmission mapping that helps optimize vehicle performance; Active Noise Control, which reduces undesirable engine harmonics, providing a quieter cabin; Blind Spot Warning (BSW), which helps alert the driver if another vehicle is detected in the blind spot area; Blind Spot Intervention® (BSI), a world's first system that, in addition to the Blind Spot Warning, helps the driver return the vehicle back toward the center of the lane of travel; Forest Air® system, which helps reduce the intrusion of unpleasant odors into the cabin and provides natural "breeze-like" airflow; Eco Pedal, which provides driver feedback to encourage eco-driving behavior; and Active Trace Control, which adjusts engine torque and utilizes braking at each of the four wheels to help enhance cornering performance.
