Infiniti IPL G Convertible Concept First Photo

Infiniti, the luxury division of Nissan, is preparing quite a shiny lineup of vehicles for the Paris Auto Show, with more than one model to be presented to potential buyers in Europe. Among them is the IPL G Convertible Concept, the second vehicle developed by the Infiniti Performance Line division after the 2011 IPL G Coupe. The concept to be presented in Paris comes equipped with an IPL tuned V6 engine of unspecified displacement and power (likely the same 3.7l V6 engine with 348 horsepower and 375 Nm featured on the IPL G). Visually, apart from the obvious lack of a solid roof, the concept comes with several unique touches, including 19-inch IPL aluminum-alloy wheels, three-piece retractable hardtop and a red leather-appointed interior. The car also features tuned exhaust and suspension. "The Infiniti Performance Line is designed to push the premium performance envelope for buyers seeking a higher level of exclusivity and driving exhilaration," said Infiniti's vice president Ben Poore. "IPL promises unique driving attributes from other Infiniti models, without adding stratospheric prices." Apart from the G Convertible concept, Infiniti will be bringing to Paris the 2011 M35h, a model the Japanese manufacturer calls “the driver’s hybrid.” The model is powered by a 3.5l petrol V6 which develops 306 PS and 350 Nm of torque. The engine is helped by an electric motor rated 68 PS. autoevolution will be attending the 2010 Paris Auto Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.
