Pricing and specification details of the Infiniti G37 Coupe and Convertible have been released ahead of the rear-wheel-drive two-door models'arrival in Australian showrooms from late next week.
Two variants of the Infiniti G37 Coupe,the$75,900 GT Premium and$83,500 S Premium,are joined by the sole$87,900 S Premium variant of the G37 Convertible in the three-pronged Japanese luxury sports car line-up.
While new to our market,both cars have been available overseas for a number of years,with the G37 Coupe entering production in 2007 and the Convertible joining it in 2009.
Both the Coupe and Convertible G37 are powered by the same 235kW/360Nm 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine with VVEL(Variable Valve Event and Lift)and feature a seven-speed automatic transmission with adaptive shift control,downshift rev matching and magnesium paddle shifters as standard.
Targeting responsiveness and comfort,the Infiniti G37 combines a vehicle-speed-sensing steering system with double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear.
A viscous limited-slip differential and Infiniti's Four-Wheel Active-Steer System(4WAS),which electronically alters front steering gear and rear suspension links for enhanced agility and stability,are also available for the G37 Coupe.Lightweight 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels are standard fitment on the base GT Premium Coupe,with the Convertible's standard 19-inch alloy wheels also available on the hardtop as part of the S Premium package.
Sitting inside the wheels of all S Premium grade models are 355mm front and 350mm rear brake discs with'Infiniti'embossed aluminium four-piston(front)and two-piston(rear)calipers.
High-Intensity Discharge(HID)bi-xenon headlights,integrated fog lights,and LED tail-lights feature as standard on both the fixed roof Coupe and drop-top Convertible,with a reversing camera,rear under-body diffuser,and large chrome-finished dual exhausts available as options.
Inside,both cars receive a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat and eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat,with leather upholstery fitted to all model grades.A seven-inch high-resolution colour touchscreen display,30GB HDD navigation system,and iPod/USB and Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming also feature.
While the G37 Coupe keeps its occupants entertained via an 11-speaker Bose sound system,the Convertible scores a 13-speaker Bose Open Air Sound system that automatically optimises equaliser settings for open and closed roof situations–taking 25 seconds to switch between with the three-piece retractable hard-top roof.
Standard safety equipment includes driver,front passenger,side and curtain airbags,seat belt pretensioners,front seat active head restraints,and dual pop-up roll bars(G37 Convertible only).
Other options available under the Coupe's S Premium and Convertible's$2000 S Premium Monaco Red package include Monaco Red leather upholstery matched to red-stained Maple wood trim,sports-tuned suspension,tyre pressure monitors,a 14-way power-adjustable driver's seat with thigh extensions,rear spoiler,and red'S'badging.
