September 16, 2011



When it comes to a pure, seductive expression of intense performance, the 2012 INFINITI G Coupe once again stands alone.  Offering an unmatched combination of dynamic design, exhilarating performance and a modern, luxuriously crafted interior, the G Coupe is available in a range of dynamic models – the INFINITI G37 Coupe, INFINITI G37 Coupe Journey, INFINITI G37x Coupe AWD, INFINITI G37 Coupe Sport 6MT, along with two Performance Line (IPL) models, the G37 Coupe-based IPL G Coupe and IPL G Coupe Sport 6MT.  (For complete information on the 2012 IPL G Coupe, please go to infinitinews.com.)
 
 The G37 Coupe, G37 Coupe Journey, G37x Coupe AWD and G37S Coupe Sport 6MT are each equipped with a standard 3.7-liter VQ-series V6 with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event and Lift) rated at 330 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.  Three of these models are offered with a standard performance-oriented 7-speed automatic transmission with Drive Sport (DS) Mode, Downshift Rev Matching and available solid magnesium paddle shifters.  The G37 Coupe Sport 6MT comes with a responsive, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission.
 
 The G37x Coupe AWD utilizes INFINITI’s advanced ATESSA E-TS™ all-wheel drive system.  Monitoring wheel spin, throttle position and vehicle speed, it automatically diverts up to 50 percent of available power to the front wheels, helping enhance traction when road conditions are less than optimal.  When all-wheel drive is not needed, the system can send up to 100 percent of the power to the rear wheels, preserving the G’s sporty rear-wheel drive characteristics.
 
 Braking and handling is targeted to be among the best in the luxury sport coupe class.  For buyers who want to take that standard to an even higher level of performance, the Sport 6MT and Sport Package equipped models offer a sport-tuned suspension, 14.7:1 sport-tuned steering gear (RWD models), Viscous Limited-Slip Differential, large Sport Brakes with 4-piston opposed front calipers and 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with summer performance tires (RWD only).
 
 All of these advanced performance systems are wrapped in the G37’s legendary seductive skin, while inside the G37 Coupe blends unique materials and finishes with traditional Japanese design cues.  Interior features “Shodo” aluminum trim inspired by the traditional art of Japanese calligraphy and available high-gloss Maple accents.
 
 Available technology features include INFINITI Studio on Wheels by Bose® premium audio system, INFINITI Hard Drive Navigation System, INFINITI Voice Recognition for audio navigation, memory system for driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors, RearView Monitor, Rear Sonar and moonroof.
