The Infiniti FX Line | super speed cars of performance crossovers might already be one of the rarest and best equipped cars in its class but this has not stopped customers demanding an even more exclusive version. Infiniti is responding with very special, limited production versions of the FX37S and FX50S to be called, simply, the FX Limited Edition.
The FX Limited Edition will be rare indeed. Availability has been strictly limited to just 100 units across Western Europe, of which only 18 will be coming to the UK
Infiniti today confirmed that its first production hybrid vehicle will be part of the recently announced line of 2011 Infiniti M luxury performance sedans, which are scheduled to go on sale in spring 2010 at Infiniti dealers nationwide. The Infiniti M35 hybrid is expected to arrive about 12 months later as a 2012 model. It is Infiniti’s first hybrid in its 20-year existence, as well as the cleanest and most economical car in Infiniti’s history.
A more dynamic look and revised interior, with state-of-the-art infotainment technology available, take the Infiniti G37 Saloon into a new decade with more presence and quality than ever. Announced today, the 2010 version of Infiniti’s lead-in sports model for Europe remains just as potent, poised and well equipped as before, but benefits from enhancements that bring it into line with other Infiniti models as well as responding to feedback from Infiniti owners.
The changes are subtle but effective – as one glance at the sharper new front-end styling reveals
The very unjapanese scale of the Essence yields a more Nippon-influenced interior for two, including an attractive driver-oriented “cocoon” that features a flat-bottomed steering wheel, hand-painted wood designed to look like Japanese laquerware and eccentricities like asymmetrical seat seams that mimic the way ‘Japanese men and women tie their kimonos.” Presumably, said kimonos fit nicely in the bespoke Louis Vuitton luggage (made more accessible via a powered trunk shelf).
Yes and no. A lot of the G37’s basics are 350Z-derived, but this is far more than just badge engineering – the Infiniti is a very different beast to the Nissan it’s based on. But to fully understand this car, first we need some context. In America, Infiniti is Nissan’s premium off-shoot, much like Lexus is to Toyota. Late in 2008, the Infiniti brand will be gradually rolled out across the UK with a four-model line-up: G saloon, this G coupe, EX35 (think BMW X3) and the X5-rivaling FX45
Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division is looking at a pair of new products to give it a better reach than the current range. First they thought about the Halo model but after looking at the competition they decided to make something attractive in order to lure buyers in to showrooms. The successor to the Q45 flagship was once considered as a potential route to rival the likes of the Audi R8, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and even the Lexus LFA.
The show-stopping Infiniti Essence concept previewed that notion, but Infiniti is still considering the idea over, and the presence of the Nissan GT-R surely isn't helping focus the picture. Infiniti has also been considering the idea of an entry-level hatchback model to take on the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Volvo C30. Lexus was the first of the Japanese brands to pursue the segment with the CT 200h. If Infiniti is considering about getting one, it would definitely suite in that order.
