2011 Infiniti G37 IPL Initial Details and Photos

Not only Infiniti announced the launch of the Infiniti Performance Line (IPL), but it also revealed initial data and photos of the first vehicle from this group: the 2011 IPL G Coupe. After being caught undisguised with just a few days ahead of its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the new G37 Coupe Performance has now come out officially.

Performance wise, the IPL G Coupe is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine tweaked to output 348 horsepower and 375 Nm.

Like all IPL models, the G Coupe will be identified as well by a special engine cover and trunklid badging. The letter "I" features a red insert representing sporty spirit, while the Infiniti-violet "shadow" behind the letter appears like an Infiniti flag.

The 2011 IPL G Coupe boasts a special front and rear bumper/fascia design with integrated fog lights and black finishers, sculpted side sills, rear spoiler and chrome exhaust tips. Available with the exclusive 19-inch IPL split 7-spoke graphite-finish wheels and low-profile W-rated Bridgestone Potenza RE50A performance tires, the IPL G Coupe comes in two exterior colors: Graphite Shadow and Malbec Black.

Inside, the model offers two color treatments (Graphite and Monaco Red), red-stitched leather-appointed front sport seats with manual thigh extension and driver's power torso and thigh support adjustment, red-stitched steering wheel, Silk Obi aluminum trim, and aluminum pedals and footrest.

Other standard interior features include Infiniti Studio on Wheels by Bose premium audio system, Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System, 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive, Infiniti Voice Recognition for audio navigation, memory system for driver's seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors, RearView Monitor, Rear Sonar and moonroof (these items are optionally available on non-IPL G Coupe models).
