Luxury new comer, Infiniti, has announced the pricing and specifications of their latest models in Australia, the Infiniti G37 Coupé and G37 Convertible.
Priced from A$75,900 excluding on-roads, the two-door sports car will join the company’s FX SUV and M sports sedan in the showroom. Both coupé and convertible come in two model grades: GT Premium and S Premium for the G37 Coupé; S Premium and S Premium Monaco Red.
They are all powered by a 3.7-litre petrol V6 engine featuring VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) that produces a maximum power output of 235kW and a peak torque of 360Nm. If these figures sound familiar, it’s because the same engine can also be found under sister brand, Nissan’s 370Z.
The engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission equipped with Adaptive Shift Control and Downshift Rev Matching. The G37 Coupé also features a Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD).
The Infiniti G sits on the company’s Front Mid-Ship rear-wheel drive platform, with the engine mounted further back in the chassis to optimise weight distribution. Handling is further aided by a combination of double-wishbone front suspension, and a multi-link rear set up. A 4-Wheel Active-Steer System (4WAS) is also available on the G37 Coupé.
