In its quest to offer a sportier competitor for the premium convertibles market, Infiniti introduced the IPL line on the already known G-Convertible range.
The Infiniti Performance Line took the regular G-Convertible and transformed it into a sportier vehicle. It was designed to compete against the European Premium car-makers. But it couldn't offer too many engine choices, so IPL took one good engine and made it better.
The IPL G-Convertible featured a different front bumper and a more aggressive look than the regular G37 Cabriolet from the outside. Two V-shaped lines started from the apron and were extended to the hood and connected to the A-pillars. The chromed grille increased the car's image. In the back, two large round pipes were placed under the rear bumper. A chromed lip was added to the trunk. The retractable hard-top was carried-over from the G-Convertible.
Inside, the Infiniti offered the IPL in two color treatments: Stone and Monaco Red. The latter was an exclusive color for the IPL range. The standard sound system was a 13-speakers Bose optimized for both closed or open top. It used the same infotainment unit as the G-Convertible, with a touch-screen installed on the center stack.
Under the hood, the IPL offered 18 more horsepower than the regular G. The difference was with the suspension system that offered a stiffer setting and provided a better cornering speed. The standard transmission was a 7-speed automatic (dual-clutch).
